Boss DS-1 is OK in stock form but can easily be made better
18 of 20 found this helpful I bought this thing with te sole purpose of modifying it, which is super easy to do even if you aren't that good with a soldering iron. The stock pedel is OK, a good value for what it is but with less than $10 in components and an hour or two it can be made into something much better and more versatile. In stock form the tone nob might as well be a switch that goes from mud to hissy treble screech, but when you swap out a few capacitors with higher quality ones you can get a real range of tones out of it. There are also easy ways to boost the volume, change up the gain and eliminate some of the hiss. I added a switch that gives it three distinct gain settings ranging from a smooth overdrive to a full on wave of rich distortion. I'm very happy with it, I retained the character of the sound it produces while also opening up its range.
