Here is something you don't ever see. In fact, this is the only one I have ever seen! This is the PepTone Boss DS-1 B.O.T. (Box of Tone) Modification.Want distortion? This is NOT for you. Want a blend of an organic overdrive and an edge of gain? This is it! Many other pedal modders have a DS-1 mod out there like the Keeley All Seeing Eye Mod, Analogman's Super DS 1 mod and Monte Allums DS-1 Rectifier Mod. All of those mods are good mods but mine is built more like an overdrive rather than a gain or distortion pedal which is how all of theirs are.My idea behind the pedal:I have played a TON of boutique pedals in my time and studied them closely (overdrive mainly). I came up with this Mod because I was so sick of all of the "boutique" pedals with flabby bass and piercing highs (not to mention the high high cost). I know it sounds funny that I achieved what I wanted in a common Boss pedal but it is all there!The purpose of this pedal was to create a pedal that is very unique from the fact that it is a hybrid between an amp simulator and an overdrive pedal. It gets clean-ish dirty with dynamic reaction and it gets smooth high overdrive dirty. I have modified 16 key parts (more than what other modders do!) including higher quality part upgrades and a complete eq upgrade and balance. All of the parts interact with each other to get a tone like never heard (this mod took me 3 months to get to the way I wanted). No raspy tone here! The DS-1 Mod. "Box of Tone" is a pedal that brings the sound of the long-selling Boss DS-1 distortion pedal closer to an amp-like distortion while adding versatility for various situations. It features richer harmonics and sustain, thick distortion filled with "realism," and clarity without muddiness, achieved by upgrading the op-amp. Additionally, the newly added two toggle switches significantly expand sound variations. The left "Gain" switch allows for switching between three distortion characters: (1) tube-like crunch, (2) bright and clear distortion, and (3) deeper, smoother "rectifier" sound. The right "Mids EQ" switch offers two tone characters: (1) sound that elevates only the midrange of the original DS-1, and (2) sound that elevates a slightly wider range centered around the midrange. PepTone's unique "Grit Boost" adds pleasant compression and "grit" to the sound, effectively providing an amp-like boost feel. This is a pedal that a wide range of players, including bassists, should try.Gain and Tone Structure:Using the gain knob the knob turned all the way down through to 12 o'clock this is where you can achieve boost/low overdrive tone. Great crystal clear highs with a punchy mid-section that is full and articulate. This is where you can achieve some great amp enhancement tones. This part is not a clean boost per say but one could get a cranked Fender amp sound edged into the tone in this part of the gain knob. You can hear each note individually and doesn't cover or color your amp and guitar set up to make you think you are playing a completely different setup when the pedal is turned on.From 12 o'clock to all the way up is where the hybrid of gain and overdrive come in. You will notice that there is some compression on this pedal. Very smooth and rounds out the sustain but I made sure this is not overdone. The overdrive starts to push so hard it sounds like your guitar is going to explode!Like I said before this is not a distortion pedal, its more of a Blues and/or Rock players dream, very vintage-esque tone. There is a great indie rock sound coming from this pedal as well. From cranked vintage amp to the explosion of overdrive tone this pedal will serve many people justice. It does extremely well with single coil pickups but does its best with humbuckers in my opinion.The tone knob does not have any bad spots, I smoothed it out a bit and made it less dramatic of change throughout the knob. Very articulate and delicate changes changing the lower frequencies.There is plenty of volume on tap! I have added some extra head room compared to the stock.Packed to withstand the end of the world, almost always shipped and tracked within 24hrs. Please ask any questions BEFORE purchase, I usually reply quickly. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a great day!
