pussy

I hadn't shaved in a week. It's what happens if you're a man.

i think the shadows in the room make it look bigger than it is. its like all long on the sides under your chin and then you aint got shit under your nose

It was pretty dark so it was just light from these shitty energy saving lightbulbs Joanna made me buy which are crap for making gear demoz.

I was reading over on FSB that in late 2007 they changed the op amp on the DS-1 to one that supposedly sounds better than the '94-'06 ones. allegedly it's less fizzy sounding. do you remember which yours has?

hi, i did another mod to my ds-1 this week, so easy you just can try it with some alligator clips

it makes the sound less trebly, the mod consist in a cable in the tone resistors

Muuuuuuch nicer, good werk.

It was brand new when I bought it so it will have the newer op-amp. Still sounds arse stock.

Cheers all.

actually, the DS-1 without mods sounds grunge in a good way. i can imagine it sounding big playing with a nice fender amp thru a big PA

That pretty much is the "Bleach" sound.

I don't like it. Doesn't work at ALL at rehearsal volumes. So fucking shrill.

I managed to chip some of the paint off the DS-1 so I might refinish it some odd colour for laughs.

It sounds better on record than it does in person, they must have EQed the living hell out of it.

Maybe one of the mystical Japanese DS-1s?

Teh kurdtz had a japanese one.

I still think the DS-2 sounds awesome if you have a decent tube amp, especially on neck position single coils. It also doesn't sound like a DS-1, on either mode, no matter what anyone says. If I can find it it's demo time in '09.

yeah apparently the MIJ DS-1 had yet another op-amp that sounds better. these were the ones made pre-1994, so... yea, that's the one teh krudtz had. apparently a lot of the keeley mods are just reverting things to MIJ specs.

Not really. They're mostly upping cap values to inrcrease bass response, and adding LEDs to the Clipping Stage in place of pure Si clipping

and changing the nobbs.


nice work mike. really doesnt sound like a ds1 at all anymore, but then again why would it afterall the changes you made. the world is one less shitty ds1, one more awesome mike pedal. hoorah.


i had a ds1 for like a week and sold it. wtfzzz with ds1 popularity? i didnt think it sounded anything like teh kurdts, really, like somebody said they mustve eqd the buttholes out of it. and thats alot of eqing, if buttholes are coming out of TEH DSONEZZZ.

Price, availablity, celeb association cred. And because of all that, they're the first page of any "ALL ABOUT EFFECTS PEDALS" book, which has probably drawn a few more poor souls in.

They're also instantly recognisable.

There's not many other pedals that are that colour, it's like that's Boss' DS1/2 territory.

The MXR Phase 90 would argue otherwise, probably muttering something about seasick green under it's breath in the process.

green muffs are like that too. cant think of another pedal in that army green.
