Will this mod also work on the Super Feedbacker Distortion?

Well nice to know the mods I use the ds1 and Hm2 for swedish death metal on the ds1 it makes this swrill sound don’t know why turn the gain down it goes awaybut will try some mods to perfect it its an old style but i still like the old analog stuff besides tube tone

Never mind, I did the test with all the guts out. I went to bed and then it hit me: the metal case is used for grounding. Now it sounds OK. Thanks!

Hi,

I tried the mod and I screwed up somehow. After I thought the two resistors were in place I connected the jacks and the only thing I got was an awful hiss and squeaks while I was touching the strings. I removed the resistors and it sounded the same, off or on.
Could it be possible that I shorted the circuit some place or broke it? In some place the thin conductive layer came off a bit but I think there is still contact there.
The good part is that I am receiving a radio station
Thanks.

Try mouser.com or smallbearelec.com for the parts needed to build pedals or make mods

any suggestions to where i can find the parts for this mod? i guess there are websites for ordering parts or local stores that sell them.

But is it possible to recycle parts from some old electronic equipment? like a pager, a busted up Rocktron Rampage amp or tv remote controlls?

hi! I will be happy if you replied me on this one. I did a keeley mod to a DS1 but didn’t replace the R39, R14 and R35 becaue I left a 3mm power led in it. the pedal works great but with 100% on the gain nob I would like to increase that for some 10-15% percent to make some room on it. should I replace R6 with a lower value like 50 or 60k?

thanks!!!

If you’re into classic sound. This mod is for you. I tried this mod and to my ear my DS turnned like less gain “muff.” But this is a very good a idea. W/ some experiment you can add the principle on making the DS1 less fuzz. Great work Mr. Orman
