DS-1/Pro - our current mod on new pedals

The DS-1/Pro mod is the same changes as the Super mod but it pulls out the stock inline chip, and replaces it with a JRC op-amp chip. This chip really improves the tone, giving it more warmth, clarity, and headroom. It's still a DS-1: more distortion, crunchier, and more low end than a tube screamer, and after the mod it sounds awesome even with the DIST knob down all the way. It is a very useful pedal with the DIST knob down for people who don't want too much distortion, or have an amp that is already distorting. It does not have the midrange hump of a tube screamer, it actually has a scooped midrange for more of a modern sound. Most people will use them at high DIST settings, but they sound awesome at low DIST settings too. Play gently and get a clear, clean tone, play harder and the crunch and distortion comes out clear and full!

The PRO mod is only available on new style Made in Taiwan DS-1 pedals which have the power jack attached to the circuit board like the pedal on the left. The chips we use will not fit in the older Japanese or 1st issue Taiwan DS-1 pedals (on the right in the picture). The older version's chips are good sounding anyway, so they sound great with just our SUPER mod. If you have a newer DS-1, or are buying a new one from us, the PRO mod is what we recommend. We cannot mod the 2017 and newer pedals which have the power jack on the edge as on the right pedal and are usually made in Malaysia.

Additional Helpful Info...

No longer available new, sorry! If you can find one you can send it in to us to modify.

We are trying to keep a few used orange ones in in stock in excellent condition, often with the original box. Any options are available on these.

June 2017 - The orange DS1 is now using a tiny circuit board and SMT parts, which we cannot modify. These types of mass produced pedals are cheaper to build but usually impossible to modify or even repair. We don't have any of the original handmade orange ones left but we can still mod yours if you send it in.

October 2019 - We had the black 40th anniversary models in stock, which were still handmade, but are now sold out. These were discontinued in 2018 but we sold them until late 2019.
