From Modest Mike’s Mods
You get our modified Boss DS-1, and it IS NOT one of the newer surface mount pedals.
All of our modified pedals are warrantied as new!
Almost every guitar player has used or heard of the Boss DS-1. Most are a little disappointed by the stock pedal. It is a bit thin and nasal sounding. But have you noticed? There are many professionals that use modified versions of the DS-1.
Modest Mike's Marshall DS-1
Several resistors, capacitors, and resistors are replaced with metal film components of a different value. Goodbye thin sound. Goodbye nasal sound. If you like that classic JCM Marshall sound, you are going to love this one! Give a listen to the video clip. And I just can't stress this enough...USE YOUR HEADPHONES!
From customers who have bought our modified DS-1 pedals, or have had our mods done to theirs:
FIVE STARS
Super clean sounding distortion, definitely will use for my record's final mixes!
-Reynaldo Silva
Definitely hear that Marshall tone. It pairs nicely with the SD-1 and BD-2 I bought from you. Always a pleasure buying from you, Mike.
-Ikwan Williams
"Did some recording tests last night. The DS-1 shone thru-out. It "fits" in a mix nicely and has better clarity than the pedals i pitted it against (AMT Fatal Tube/ AMT British Sound/SansAmp GT2)."
"OMG! This mod is incredible , it has overdriven tone, like a tube screamer
on steroids! My Tele with a Lil'59 bridge p/u sounds way huge for what it is!
This is Great !"
Jim
"This is my 2nd pedal mod from you Mike, and my 3rd pedal will leave today
for another mod! You are the pedal Guru from the south!! Keep up the Great work!"

"This made the Boss DS-1 pedal a tamed beast! Took all the hum out of the gain when at 10. Gave more control of the tone and level. Simply wonderful through my 5 watt Fender Vibro Champ XD into my 2x10 cab. Makes my Vintage Modified Strat purr! Thanks so much, I gotta go and play so more and test it on all the separate voice settings on the amp. Only played it through the acoustic setting, so I could really here the pedal work on its own. The Vox 847 will be next my friend, just gimme a little time to enjoy this one!!!! "
"THE BEST MONEY I EVER SPENT ON EBAY!!! Fantastic in every way!!!"
From Ben:
“Got the pedals back today. As for the DS-1, I'm floored. Your mod gut-punches any other DS-1 mod out there. I've got a Keeley/SEM DS-1 as well, and I replaced on the pedal board within an hour of getting the little monster in the mail today. You'll be seeing my Proco Rat 2 soon."
Tim is a 3 time repeat buyer:
"Mike,
Hi, I wanted to give you an update. I am in a new band now and my sonic needs have changed. I am now using the DS-1 pedal that you modded. I love it! I am using it for my slightly dirty tone and it is amazing. I am so happy with that pedal I can't even tell you. I am now also using your modified SD-1 And your modified Dyna Comp is still another of my favorites for clean solos and lead boost. Thanks again for you great work."
Steve bought our Marshall DS-1, and one of our modified CS-3 pedals:
"Thank you, I received my pedals this morning, safe and sound. The pedals sound great. My favorite part is that they are not noisy. Great for an Audio Engineer/Guitar Player. I'll spread the word, we've got lots of guys here that will be calling you soon. I'll be doing business with you again.
Thanks again!"
