I dropped the latest doc update today, complete with the new "Huevos Grandes" mod and sound clips for all my DS-1 mods.

Modding a DS-1? Please read 'Build Your Own DS-1 Distortion'.
"Other than a good first-in-line buffer/booster, using other FX to improve bad clean tone is like gift-wrapping garbage."

- Completed builds: I might be at level 2, so to speak..
not totally green, but that's all :)
my "level" is about building a big muff... medium complexity :)
I'll never build a DS-2, for example :)

even though I'm a layman to electronics
I'll never build anything without seeing the actual schematics too...

my all time favorite: Fuzz FAce
it is an always ongoing project..

I want to end up strumming some strings at the end of the day, whatever the sound

I'm so sad that this beautiful culture (and freedom movement) is totally ephemeral - Location: Budaspest, Europe

wow!!!
I sort of knew that 10p was not enough!!!
cause I knew that what it does is smooth out the clipping curve at the lowest gain level...
and, in my experience, the circuit with a 10p cap at this place produces very non-smooth clipping (at the lowest gain level)
So, given that the most popular layout floating out there is this (by mirosol):
https://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/20 ... rtion.html
changing the 10p to 100p can be considered as a basic mod too
or an update...
I can't wait to try it (I have 100p-s, I only don't want to touch my "stock" ds-1, which I love, so I'll build another one for the comparison's sake)
pedal building, tracing and sharing is such a beautiful freedom movement... If only it could be viewed as a future heritage, but it really is ephemeral, as it seems
