Marlonmm Those are a modded DS-1 and a DS-2 which switch places with the RAT.I use OD-3 for boost but it adds too much color. I'm looking at MXR Micro Amp to replace it. Otherwise it's a decent overdrive.Still saving up for a DD-3. For now that Artec will stay in my board.
Fran Ahhhhhhhh, trying to hide the DS pedals from us was you? Do you get them out for special occasions?
Marlonmm Those are hidden treasures. Not really, haha. The DS-1 is a bit special as it's my first stomp box. The beat-up DS-2 is just for curiosity.There are some settings that DS-1 and RAT sound alike. I use DS-1 for times I feel using a raspy distortion.
Fran What mod you got on the DS-1?I quite like the DS-2 and because both are so common they are almost an industry standard as far as tone goes. Not neccessarily good tone but familiar none the less.
Marlonmm A local tech calls it his tri-gain mod - his take on Keeley mod, I think ( I haven't tried one). Locally, it's known as Beez Mod DS-1. On a side note, the guy runs a music/tech shop and a great blues player too (LookForBeez.com).1st mode is normal DS-1 (but a bit smoother), 2nd and 3rd mode has volume gain of about 50% but has less distortion. More of an overdrive. 3rd mode has a Seeing eye mod.
Marlonmm Here it is. Some lame demo.Nevermind the ####ty playing. Didn't bother to show the different tone settings as people already know how raspy the DS-1 is.
Fran Nice one, sounds way better than the stock model. I like how the LED reacts to the picking on the third mode.
