We got this email a while back from Andreas in Sweden: “I wonder if you can mod a Boss DS-1 to make it suitable for use with bass. This is what I don't like about the stock pedal: - The treble is way to shrill - The distortion is a bit artificial sounding and I would like to have less distortion overall - It removes bass, I need a pedal that lets ALL the bass through - It scoops the mids, I want it to keep the mids as they are I realize all this may sound like I should get another pedal to begin with, but it's the DS-1 I want. Is it possible for you to make such a pedal?”
Sounded like a pretty tall order at the time, but we were able to make it happen! - No more shrill treble- the tone knob now works like a contour or shapecontrol. - We replaced a diode in the clipping with an LED. LEDs are best for distortion in bass pedals, providing slightly less distortion and a little more push...more tube-like. - This modified pedal allows ALL of the bass to enter and ALL of the bass to come out. - The mids are greatly improved.
“I got the pedal a week ago and have had the time to try it out quite a bit. After some tweaking I started to understand what you have done with the tone control; it's now what is usually called a contour or shape control. Very nifty! I now can adjust the amount of mids I want to keep in the distorted sound which is really useful. The character of the distortion is great too, it's more tube amp-like compared to the stock DS-1 but still keeps what is good about the original sound. Thanks a lot for the great job! I will most certainly make a video with this pedal on my YouTube-channel in the near future to let other bassists hear what it sounds like.” /Andreas
