Just got a free ds-1

Post by Humandrivein »

So my grandma came home from work today and calls to tell me the lady at her job gave her a guitar pedal to give to me because her son moved out she knows that I play. So now that i have a free pedal that I dont care about its time to try and mod the shit out of it. Im not going for the whole keely mod thing mainly switching out resistors and such or whatever I can squeeze in there and see if I can make some hellish noise. Lets hope I dont ruin this thing.

My personal fav. you get the awesome Osc. sounds without the constant annoying drone when you stop playing.

Yeah, and at the very least, your papers will stay still in the event of a breeze.

hey been poking around and havent gotten anything cool out of it. just jumped some resistors that were next to each other and i got some more low end out of it so its not as piercing and it seems to have gotten louder. i guess this is what happens when you know next to nothing about this shit haha. at least it still makes noise ill prob just paint it up something and put it in a feedback loop and see what kinda sounds i can get.
