Modified Boss DS-1 for Bass Players! See Video!

Description: From Modest Mike’s Mods This listing is for our modified Boss DS-1 for bass players (you get the modified pedal). We got this email a while back from Andreas in Sweden: “I wonder if you can mod a Boss DS-1 to make it suitable for use with bass. This is what I don't like about the stock pedal: - The treble is way to shrill - The distortion is a bit artificial sounding and I would like to have less distortion overall - It removes bass, I need a pedal that lets ALL the bass through - It scoops the mids, I want it to keep the mids as they are I realize all this may sound like I should get another pedal to begin with, but it's the DS-1 I want. Is it possible for you to make such a pedal?” Sounded like a pretty tall order at the time, but we were able to make it happen! - No more shrill treble- the tone knob now works like a contour or shape control. - We replaced a diode in the clipping with an LED. LEDs are best for distortion in bass pedals, providing slightly less distortion and a little more push...more tube-like. - This modified pedal allows ALL of the bass to enter and ALL of the bass to come out. - The mids are greatly improved.- This mod gives you more available distortion. “I got the pedal a week ago and have had the time to try it out quite a bit. After some tweaking I started to understand what you have done with the tone control; it's now what is usually called a contour or shape control. Very nifty! I now can adjust the amount of mids I want to keep in the distorted sound which is really useful. The character of the distortion is great too, it's more tube amp-like compared to the stock DS-1 but still keeps what is good about the original sound. Thanks a lot for the great job! I will most certainly make a video with this pedal on my YouTube-channel in the near future to let other bassists hear what it sounds like.” /AndreasAndreas did indeed upload a video! Check it out, use your headphones: Distortion on bass? Yes! - YouTube Video will open in a new window First of all I’ve never been at a loss for words but, OMG….this pedal…THIS is what I needed to cap the tone I’ve been chasing. Pairs beautifully as a boost to my BigMuff for playing brutal sludge doom riffs on my P-bass. I don’t think I can ever buy another vanilla pedal again. Modest Mike’s Mods is the new gold standard for me! -Richard Bryant We make your sounds…sound good!” Thanks for looking, and keep rockin!
