We’ll give you the information you need to build a version of the DS-1 distortion that matches the exact circuit used by the large Japanese manufacturer of the original post-1994 DS-1 Distortion (with the exception of replacing the SIP-8 dual op amp layout with a DIP-8 dual op amp layout.)

They make the distortion. It is reffered to as diode-clipping distortion. So first you need to pick the type of distortion you want and then pick the diodes that match that sort of sound! here is a chart of what diodes make what sounds:

2023年5月18日 · Many guitarists consider the DS-1 to be the worst-sounding guitar pedal. Could this 1978 Roland design be a failure and is now hopelessly outdated? We can get a good sound out of this classic pedal, too. For that, we'll put it, listen to it, and start by studying the circuitry.

These DS-1 mods are designed to turn a widely available, affordable, and reliable pedal that sounds bad in most contexts* into a jack-of-all-trades box of dirty boost, drive, and all-out distortion. With as few as four or five component changes you can turn a $20 pedal into useful dirt that can flatter any guitar and amp combination.

Build your own DIY Boss DS-1 Distortion with an effects pedal kit or PCB from one of the many awesome suppliers available.

In order to modify this distortion pedal you need to gain access to the circuit board. When taking things apart there are some basic rules. 1. Don't force it- Be patient, take your time, and assess the situation. 2. Don't lose it- Keep track of everything you remove. This include screw, covers, removed capacitors, resistors, ect. 3.

Here, I will teach you how to make a very simple 1 transistor low power guitar pedal. (I designed the circuit diagram and PCB). This circuit can be ran off old 9v batteries (In version 2, I was running it off a really cheap mobile phone power supply, 5v SMPS) that still have a charge above 1.5v meaning you won't have to throw them out!

2013年11月21日 · Sure, you can get a distortion pedal that comes close to the sound you hear in your head. Or for extra credit, you could construct your own light-saber and become a Jedi. In The Studio

2020年3月31日 · In this project, we will build a basic distortion pedal for guitars using a simple circuit. Distortion pedals are one of the most used guitar effect pedals in music electronic and therefore, it is essential to learn how distortion pedals work.

2020年6月13日 · Distortion pedals general have three stages. First stage is a buffer stage, which prevent loss of signal due to impedance mismatch between the previous stage and the pedal. This can be a simple common collector transistor. The next stage is the amplification stage where guitar signal is amplified.
