Distortion
Evolved take on the classic DS-1 with modern and vintage vibes
Description
Everyone has a legendary DS-1, your brother, sister, and granny 😅. The modern variant of DS-1 by Boss has several critical disadvantages for a current rig that we've addressed in the modified original '78 MIJ circuit:
- The mids toggle has 3 presets stock DS-1, less scooped, and flat mids.
- Modern (RC4580) and vintage (NOS MIJ, similar to one used from 94 till 2000) op-amp toggle.
- Eight clipping options.
- True bypass.
- High-quality components.
Controls
- Level - output volume.
- Dist - the amount of gain.
- Tone - controls the balance between low and high frequencies.
- Mids toggle - controls mid frequencies scoop: stock DS-1, less scooped, and flat mids.
- Mode switch - Boost (no diodes), LEDs, '78 (vintage Si diodes), '94 (1N914), Ge (asymmetrical NOS Soviet D9), Si (asymmetrical 1N914), MOS (MOSFET transistors), 4001 (1N4001 diodes,).
- Op-amp toggle - selects modern (TI RC4580) or vintage (NOS MIJ) op-amp.
- Muff toggle - adds Big Muff style transistor gain stage, makes the sound a bit more compressed and fat.
- LED brightness trimmer - placed on the PCB trimmer allows you to adjust the status LED brightness.
