Boss DS 1 Ultra/Seeingeye Mod Prob.

Hi Guys,

I picked up a DS 1, from a Garage sale, I took it home and ran it through my fender twin basically to see if it was working, sure enough it work as expected, So I decided to do the Keeley Ultra/seeing eye mods.....I had all the parts so there was no waiting.

Ok , I completed the mod as per web information.

I tested the unit, huge difference , all functions worked.

I have one problem which is driving me nuts trying to solve it, I use a lespaul, with the Vol and Tone on the guitar all up full, I found when I hit the strings hard, the sound, is compressed for a split second then comes up to set Vol. this drop in the note is almost like a switch ....Pluck a note hard, huge compression for a spit sec. then normal vol.

Sounds like the signal going into the pedal, is to much for the input , tried with other guitars and amps, same thing

Any help would be great,

Thanks Loupy31

I also just finished this mod per the diystomboxes (brett miller) pdf and I'm getting similar results. Anyone else have further thoughts or solutions?

Quick follow up on this...I got good results returning C3 to stock value, and it's possible that a lower value would yield even better results. IMO that value is a bit of an achilles heal to an otherwise powerful mod.
