        Does the Mod John does on the Boss DS-1 make a major difference in Tone from the stock DS-1?

                very little mods need to be done to the BD2...Basically just changing out all the can type electrolytic caps for tantalum..And a few tweaks to the board,but nothing extensive like the OS-2,DS-1,or SD-1 get..The BD2 is a pretty decent pedal as is...I like the Marshall Jackhammer stock also..

                Keeley has mods for the BD2 on his website if you'd like to do it yourself...

                            I have a customized MT-2 I'm now using for bass. I installed as switch to give a stock Indyguitarist/ Bass Boost option.

                              At the moment a Marshall Guvnor 2 for its versatility and tone, that sounds very proffesional and just like a marshall.

                                When I get around to it, Stratdeluxer97 is gonna get my DS-1 and I have a feeling that it will become a mainstay.

                                every once and a while I'm also known to use/abuse

                                And one day I will find another Fender Blender...(what can I say, I love dirt boxes!)
                                Fire Inventor, I've always wanted to hear that Lovetone Brownsource. What a great name Also, your Z Vexx Fuzz Probe!

                                The Klon Centaur is the one OD I'll never part with. It's the only OD I've tried that actually improves the tone of the amp it's plugged into. It's basically like turning up the volume or gain on your amp. A couple months ago, I picked up the T. Rex Mudhoney, which serves as an OD or the chewiest Fuzz I've ever heard. It has some blatty undertones that are part of it's signature sound. It blats out in all the right places and swells in all the right places...really a cool pedal....think Hendrix meets Sabbath.
