From Analogman:

The DS-1 has quite a scooped midrange, especially stock. This is cool for heavier modern sounds but sometimes too thin in the mids for classic distortion sounds, especially through a Fender type amp. After our PRO mod, the lows are better but but it's still quite scooped in the mids. In 2007 we came up with a mod to allow dialing in more mids for more of a classic tube amp sound. We can now add a small MIDRANGE knob under the TONE knob, as a $25 option. It has the exact stock midrange setting and sound at about 10:00. Turning it up gives more midrange and a little more volume. It works along with the TONE control. We can sell you a new DS1/Pro with this option or mod your DS1 pedal.

There is no room on the old style DS1 for the midrange pot on top, as they use large pots. But we can add the midrange pot sticking out the back on the side of the power jack, or out of the right side along the input jack. Let us know where you want the knob if you send in an old style DS1.

For best sound on the DS1, keep the TONE knob very low. Our midrange knob works great then, allowing you to add in the normal frequencies that sound great with guitar while keeping the annoying high end under control. Another cool setting this mod allows is to run the TONE knob up really high, which is usually terrible. But by turning the MID knob up really high, it smooths out the sound and gives a cool tone, very loud too if needed.
