This sounds pretty sweet. My DS-1 is too cheap to sell and not good enough to use. This mod sounds seriously awesome. Does anyone have it? Is it worth all that money?

I tried one of the keeley mods, I can't remember if it was the SEM or the Ultra, but I didn't care for it. I've siad it before and I'll say it again, I much prefer Johns DS-1 mods...they are just far more useable to me. Lots oif guys like the Keeley stuff, but I was not one of them, so I would have to say...no they are not worth the money, John's DS-1 mod however is worth at lease twice what it costs!

+1 I liked the Spina DS-1 better than the Keeley ( Ultra or SEM ) mods. The Spina DS-1 has more "Tone" and has more of a "Tube" like characteristics than the Keeley mods. I find the Keeley mods still a bit more "Solid State" sounding.

What does John do to it? Does he do the two mode thing or what? Maybe I can hear your DS-1 next time you come to Guitar Center or something.

John's mod only has one "mode", it still looks like a normal DS-1 except for the huge (and cool as hell) LED! I'll tell you this bro...I take it every where I go, and it sounds killer with every guitar/amp combo I've tried it with yet! As for what he does, I couldn't tell you in tech talk, but it has much more bass, balls, and the tone control has a better sweep...every body told me before getting it modded it sounds like a hot rodded JCM 800, after getting the pedal I belive it...it really does. If you do a search on the forum I posted a long review on the DS-1 after I had, had it for a few days...read that and you'll see. Hell, if you feel like it give me a call...I haven't talked to you in a while anyway! I'd be glad to let you try it some time!

Well, Stratdeluxer may have to answer this, but can he do DS-2 mods?

That I know of he has done several overdrive/distortion pedals, but you really should ask him.
