Can you mod new boss pedals?
Basically we modify many production pedals to make them sound better. After the mods they are smoother and less harsh, more musical, less like a pedal and more like a great cranked tube amp. We can sell you new pedals already modified.
Is the Boss DS-1 analog?
The only bad thing I can really say about the Boss DS-1 is that being an old, analog pedal that it is it does not have the sophisticated noise reduction that a lot of modern pedals have. That isn’t to say the pedals noisy in excess or even that bad at all.
What is Boss SD 1 based on?
Based around the revolutionary asymmetrical clipping circuit from the OD-1 Overdrive—one of the three original BOSS compact pedals from 1977—the SD-1 delivers rich, smooth, and highly musical overdrive tones that continue to inspire guitarists everywhere.
Is Boss DS-1 true bypass?
2.1 Boss DS-1 JFET Bypass Switching / True Bypass. The original Boss DS-1 circuit has a JFET Bypass Switch Circuit to enable/disable the effect using a simple cheap momentary push button. On the other hand, true bypass switches (3PDT) are considered to give a clean and transparent path for the bypassed signal.
Is Boss 1 or 2 better?
Despite having a similar spec and feature sheet, the tone difference between the Boss DS-1 and DS-2 is pretty noticeable, as the DS-2 is far more aggressive and edgy, particularly with the “Turbo” mode engaged. On the surface the Boss DS-1 and DS-2 Turbo don’t have a lot that set them apart.
Is the DS-1 good?
Despite my hesitations, the Boss DS-1 is an extremely affordable pedal, coming in at the low two-figures and often below retail if you look at used options. This alone can give a pedal a decent amount of value, making the DS-1 a good buy-low candidate.

Who is Analog Man Boss DS-1 Super Mod made by?
Our DS-1/Super mod was designed by Ohbayashi San (CAMTAC) and fine-tuned by Analog Mike. It replaces many of the cheap components that Boss uses (in order to make the stock pedal a super deal for the price) with expensive, high grade audio parts. It does not use LEDs in place of the diodes, but a special NOS diode as used in our SILVER mods.
What kind of sound does a Boss DS-1 make?
The DS-1 can get a lot more distortion than a tube screamer type pedal (like the Yellow Boss SD-1) and make a Fender amp sound like a Marshall after our mods- very full, deep, and rich. The stock Boss DS-1 is fairly thin and buzzy sounding, with a loss in low end.
Can you repair an orange Analog Man DS1?
June 2017 – The orange DS1 is now using a tiny circuit board and SMT parts, which we cannot modify. These types of mass produced pedals are cheaper to build but usually impossible to modify or even repair. We don’t have any of the original handmade orange ones left but we can still mod yours if you send it in.
What kind of boost pedal does Analog Man use?
Analog Man produces the Beano Boost. This pedal is based on the Dallas Rangemaster, a type of BOOSTER, not really a distortion pedal nor a clean boost. It excites certain frequencies and pushes your amp to allow it to create rich, crunchy tube distortion.
