'Wampler' Modern Distortion Mod

My first actual modification to the circuit of the Boss DS1 pedal was to try to Wampler 'Modern Distortion Tones' Mod from the premier guitar magazine article.

This mod is ment to take the DS1 into Modern Distortion Tones and does a pretty good job of making the pedal sound a little thicker and much more crunchyer, as for sounding modern, you will have to decide for yourself.

I found that with this Mod the pedal sound great for a chunky rhythm sound but lacked a bit a oomff for lead work, however its a different sound for the DS1 & is very useful.

The following changes for this mod are;

-R16 = 1K

-R14 = 10K

-R15 = 3.3K

-C10 = .001uF

-C5 = 1uF FILM CAP

-C9 = 1uF FILM CAP

-D4 = 3mm RED LED

This Mod also changes the Tonestack of the pedal an the tone control is less on the treble side with a much less range to it, still enough for good adjustments but about half the variation for the stock tone control.

this is the outcome of this mod. id say it a modern take on the DS1 Pedal's tone.
