Re: Robert Keely Modded pedals

Hey, any body who has the modded DS-1, does it really make a clean fender tube amp overdrive like a marshall?

Well hey the mods costs money ya know... I got my KDS-1 Ultra 2ndhand for 100 bux

I like to say that the stock DS1 to a Keeley DS1 is like comparing a firecracker to a concussion bomb. :laugh2:

Re: Robert Keely Modded pedals

I agree with kaknight (not often that happens, eh? bro? )

I've got a keeley modded ts-9 that is the best out there.

Scott_F: Is this that TS-9 pedal that Stratman gave you?

---

Stratman used to modify TS-9 pedals, until I played Keely's modified pedal that had a slightly smoother tone. . . (Brisk has one that I modified and he tells me that he love's it.)

Since then, I have tried several other Keely modified pedals and they are all great! I stopped modifying pedals because it's easier to just play Keely's and I do not have to simulate and disect the original circuits.

ENJOY!

Yes..Keeley's mods are great and also eat into your wallet...Why not learn to do your mods for yourself? Fun and very rewarding at the same time and the cash stays in your wallet...Pretty cool thought right? :smack: :burnout: :wink:

A DS1 then is still just $39.99 like I said... :13:

Re: Robert Keely Modded pedals

How did you learn to mod pedals?

I actually started out on vintage tube amps many years ago and just learned alot about electronics as I went...There's also alot of parts replacing and trial and error and trusting your ears on the changes...In the early stages or first time mod of any pedal,it helps to have a schematic and also know how to interpret it...Today you can find info over the internet from folks like Keeley and try some mods yourself...This wasn't possible a number of years ago and most modders wouldn't share any info with anyone else..I Like to experiment and tweak and make things better and I've gotten pretty good at it..You have to also have some patience and be able to hold a soldering iron in the right hand... :wink: Ffor me these days it's amps,pedals,guitar setups and electronics,and messing with pickups and magnets.... :smack: :32:
