Boss DS-1 with Boost Mod

[tallicafan987654321]

how do u mod it?

[whattheworldrejects]

@tallicafan987654321 send it in to one of the many different companies OR go to forums and websites and look for some parts to switch out (you just need a soldering gun and patience). Robert Keeley posted a version of his Ds 1 on his website for many aspiring modders out there to make their stock pedals useful.

[rockmaster002]

with this pedal can control the gain ? middle treble ???????

[justinsong514]

gread demo

[imixers]

Can somebody please give me a small piece of info about what a "keeley mod" is?

[fredericiscool]

Basically a guy called Robert Keeley has a company where he mods pedals, most famously the Ds-1, the SD-1 and the Ibanez TS9. He tries to make them sound better by replacing some components in the circuit board.

[zhivago729]

he is most known for his compressor and his BD2 mods... also Analogman does the DS1 etc

[DJ8137219]

i have a ds1 and im into hardcore, what does anyone recomend that i get next?

[FlamingIceCubez]

Overdrive? Wah?

[Balu027]

Overdrive?? He already has a distortion pedal... I recommend a wah.

[ilovemyfender1]

if ur into harcore maybe a delay it really helps with speed solos (i myself play everything but country :D)

[nymetsrock]

ummm, ur into hardcore?

Get a metal zone

[c32linder]

Check out the Rocktron SILVER DRAGON!!!

[omarfusion]

you mod this?...is the keeley ultra mod right?

[MotoMotoSSB]

sounds awesome dude..nice playing too!

[nacholibre110]

Im kind of a noob to pedals so can anyone tell me what modding a pedal means?

[bmxfrestyle5152]

it is a stock pedal that has been upgraded with features, high quality components, and other cool stuff

[boomy3241]

sure, mod means modified so he modified this pedal. he added that switch

[PYROSF]

It's WAAAAY more complicated than just adding a switch

[trousien]

not really all your doing is replacing some capacitors and actually really ez if you solder stuff before

[superguitarras111]

joe satriani has boss DS1. .do you know that modification has? keeley or mount allum ?

[Foulacy]

joe uses keeley modded ones

[Spocksbrother]

wheres the feedback? :)

[GibsonSGKing]

hmmm, i have a modded ds1 similar to this, except my boost switch is on the bottom front side, so u can hit it with ur shoe. i sorta like mine better though, i think mine sounds better :P

[ISKEETCHOCOLATE]

lol sound relies heavily on your gear too.

his might sound better with your gear to you.

[kw1ksh0t]

and it also relies on whether your watching it on youtube or not

[ISKEETCHOCOLATE]

indeed.

[Waltron427]

how'd u mod that?

[dimebuckerpickups]

do i need to mod my ds1 or can i use a digutech rp80 with it

[69372]

what type of guitar are you using and what type of pups are in there?

[fivixx]

Epiphone SG G400 with gibson pickups

[leerroy234]

Almost thesetting i Use on mine, i personaly use the "Hard Rock" the two top big knobs exactly where they are in this vid but the little knob in the center pointing at the first "L" in Level

[KCNirvanaKC]

I hate 'xD'.

[MyEgoisDie92]

jajaj yeah!

[flamboyant69]

wow i love the tone it offers

i hv my ds-1 modded too kinda heavy

its ok for me as my pickup kinda weak gain.

should sound better on high gain pickups.

awesome mod dude!

[freebones12321]

is that cable on the input end an ibanez cable it looks like mine lol

[anosan]

what is a mod boost, how do you get it, and why is his pedal color thing blue?

[Corganfuzz]

cuz...it's a boss-ds1 modded by a guy named Robert keeley you can either buy one from him or send yours out so he can modify it

[azn94psycho]

where do u get it modded by keeley? i know how to get classic and vintage and all though.

[breitbreit]

Did you do this mod yourself, or did you have it done? Are there instructions or schematics for it anywhere on the internet? Thanks, sounds nice. Much better than stock!

[OptionKnob]

Cool! You could also toss an Option Knob on there and give yourself the extra fuzz you need for certain solos - without having to bend down and use your hand!

[glennthepriest]

sound suxx in my opinion... no treeble no mids. could be your amp settings of course but don't know^^

[rama6maiden]

is this pedal better than jj labs heavy metal?

[jhts]

how did u modify it?

[TAJNI2929]

use mt-2 metal zone. thats a devil

[matthew65]

mt-2 is the devil.. silly..

[fg91]

mt2 is better

[narka1]

mt2 is shit

[DecyferDown71]

[FabioBlood]

Great! The sound in the video is very similar to marshall amp!

[FabioBlood]

[fivixx]

not a marshall. Orange Crush 15R.

[yaja212]

ooh nice amp, man! what's the amp's gain suited for w/o the DS-1?

[Mariofan7]

@fivixx

[Tanker2710]

[Pandurrr]

[abomb219]

if anyone ever says XD again after what i just said i am going to murder them

[somerockenguy]

I don't think i have ever heard any one say XD

[deathmetaliscool]

It's a kinda face laughing. X = eyes. D = mouth. XD cartman from south park does that

[devilsdome]

I'm bidding on one of these awesome pedals! Yep, same, modded, etc!!

hope I win, this is a fucking beauty of a pedal!!

xD

[srm2k]

Best feature of the Keeley DS-1 is the increase in pick dynamics. Strummed softly it's barely noticeable, dig in hard and you raise the distortion output of your rig. You'll see the pedal's "seeing eye" LED flash on when you're in the clipping zone.

[anysound521]

how u get that bosst mod swith on ya pedal?

[kinstar]

quick reply plz lol which one would u recomend for rock eh distortion or overdrive coz i cant fuckin tell them apart lol they both sound gd

[pbuddyj]

is the ds-1 good should i get it?

(not modded)

[BongOfCthulu]

Im still thinking about getting one. From what demos I have heard, it sounds a little bit better than some of the Digitech ones IMO.

[telerocker5150]

i wuold get a modded one if i were you. the modded ones have clearer tone.

[cgabo121191]

heyy , i have that pedal too, but where or how did you install the boost mod??, i think my pedal need that because i want more distortion..

[tekkenjam]

i got this at a pawn shop for 10 bucks i sold it for 50 lol. i didnt like it at all.

[dudeurgonna]

i have the DS-1 why doesnt mine have a blue light and a switch??!!?

[telerocker5150]

its modded dude.

[darwinator12932112]

how come it has a blue light instead ofa red one?

[fivixx]

a blue led, a red led and a switch... it's a mod. MELANHEAD MOD + BOOST

[MechMaster90]

Keeley Mod ?

[thecousinfucker]

It must be the Solo Booster mod by Pedaldoc.

[fivixx]

No, this is not a kit. ;-)

[footychimp]

What mod is it?

[fogaoagas]

that looks like the fxcase mod. nice.

[BaTMaNNaMTaB]

why the hell didnt i get a boost :(

[fivixx]

The main sound is from "melanhead" mod. It's different from keeley... The boost is a feature i added. You can switch between "stock" or boost sound. (sorry for my poor english. XD)

[thspamed]

are these the custom one which vai and satch use?

[casbahrockin]

i love that you have the clipping led comin through the case. cool tone

[guitarskater11]

How do u get the boost???I have one and it has no BOOST

[lazrpo1nt3r]

You have to send it to get modded.

[RGlaney]

awesome, is that on the clean channel?

[fivixx]

yes, it is in the clean channel of a orange crush 15R

[Guitarmaster2000]

great!
