No worries, I was thinking of typing it up now.

THANKS MIKE!!!!!!!!!

No worries. It's basically an amalgam of a few mod lists I read. I had a look at the schematic and what effect each change would have and kept the ones I thought would work to get the sounds I like.

the modded one sounds really good, much more useable. nice job mikhail.

Cheers bud. After I've done the modded SD-1 video with the Telecaster same as the first one I'll have to do one of both the pedals after mods with the Jaguar, I was just having all sorts of fun with them. They've both got Mustang knobs and yellow LEDs.

it reminded me more of the OCD after the mods, that's probably the only reason i'm not going out tomorrow to buy a DS1 and ship it down to you for 'the treatment'!

looking forward to the SD1 vid.

Yeah it definitely has much of that mid-rich Marshallesque sound about it rather than scooped trebly nonsense, although the OCD is more refined than my DS-1 is now, and a simpler circuit. A truly great pedal that, so strange it just didn't work at all with my own Marshall amp - it was so insanely bassy you could barely discern chords. They must have just been incompatible. It sounds great through the Tiny Terror and Fender amps I've played it with.

Dude, do a clip of the DS-1 in the FX return with the amp cranked up, just to see if it can act kind of like a preamp? i dunno. could be interesting.

yeah, must have been like 'marshall squared' or something... i really like it through the fender, in fact, it works a treat for warming up solid state amps a touch just at a very low gain setting. takes that clinical edge off while still being technically a 'clean' sound.

edit: nice sig, sloan!

I'd have to drag my 6100 upstairs as the Tiny Terror dunt have no FX Loop I'm afraid.

Mike, you made a pedal that was fairly unuseable (unless you had an amp that had only mids, and absoslutly no treble), and made it sound great!

A+ job!

KILLER

Much improved. Doesn't get teh kurdtz anymore, though

Indeed. Oh well.

Thanks for checking it out guys.

Nice job. Your mod looks fairly close to the old Keeley mod. It really opens up the DS1 and makes it a nice pedal.
They also sound great with a power starve, there's even room to build it right into the back of the unit. You can use a resistor to set a gate so you don't power off the unit.

did you dye your beard jet black?


hahahaha


pussy

I never got around to it.

hahahaha, you know, Mike may have been the first to play a DS1 into a tube amp since teh kurdtdz.

I'm just thinking with a really clean tube amp, it might actually sond ok?

It might also rip a hole in time and space and cancel the last 3 billion years of universla history, so just don't fuck with it.
