This is a great pedal! I always kind of liked my ds-1 but thought that it just wasn't ready for the prime time. With the mod, the tone is MUCH fatter, less buzzy, and more natural in sound and response. There is a lot more range on the distortion control, as I used to dime it all the time (without enough distortion) and now 1:00 is more than enough. This pedal is also much more usable, as the stock unit is sounds too crackly and gets lost in the mix at gigging levels. With his mod, the pedal sounds better as the amp gets louder! It's definitely going in the next incarnation of my pedalboard.
I was testing it in channel 2 (fender channel) of my rivera knucklehead with a mesa 4x12 cab. I liked it best with single coil guitars and my lp standard with a SD custom in the bridge. Not only is his mod great, but he did everything very quickly, affordably, and professionally. And this is just his hobby! Great job, STRATDELUXER97 (aka John S.), my hat goes off to your sir.
