The wiring is changed to improve the sound, and extra switchs, components or circuitry may be added. Go here, http://www.robetkeeley.com, for more information.

now, I think this pedal is good even on its own, the ds-1 is find but, i have a problem lossening some exta unwanted nouse from the pedal while playing, some days its good and other days bad but hey rite. but well that wil, be improved by better technique. and what does he use the tube screamer for anyways, like rythem playi8ng or what
I have a unmodded DS-1 I've had for years that I never used cus it sounded like shit to me.................Then I got my all tube Carvin MTS 3200half stack and tried it again.........Now it sounds soooo beautiful, I fully understand now...........The DS-1 is great for driving the tubes of a tube amp. It does not sound the same with a solidstate!
I run mine through the front of my amp in combination with the lead/sustain channel. I keep the drive turned way down like at 1 or 2 and turn the level up(thats what drives the tubes, the level, not the drive).
So in short, running it through a tube amp is where the saturation is. I just can't get the same sound through a solidstate. But now that I own a quality all tube amp, I love my DS-1!

Steve states on the new Live in Tokyo DVD that he likes to use the DS-1 when he's playing a part on his own, but when he's playing with the full band, he uses the TS. He was saying to Joe how he deosn't like how the DS-1 has too much compression...Satch says he only used the DS-1 o9n one song on the DVD. Hey, I heard Satch is using a Barber Burn Unit now. Apparently, it's a wicked distortion box from what I've heard.
So....What kinda mods are avalible for the do-it-yourselfer. Any info on what I can do with it? It sounds good to me, but most of the distortions on my Boss GT-3 sound just as good, if not better than the DS-1. So I am looking to do some modding but need a lil info!

I think what satch does, is use the ds1 for songs like starry night and cool #9 etc. Cos that pedal, and the ds2 is amazing at getting that soft bluesy tone.. And for say, mind storm, he'd just use his mega peavey distortion.
i posted somethingearlier sayingt that the ds-1 is good, well id like to rephase that, its really okay, its good for chunky ryhtm but i hope i can get a better lead sound then ds-1 with my new ts9dx-flexi 2x4, vai's using it extensivley on tour(TS9dx flexi 2x4) its the keely mod one, and ive heard thingsn of this pedal
