This page might be just as much at home in the schematics thread but the schematics here are not the originals and made for cloning the old pedals.

According to the DD-3 Keeley mod page the caps should be non polarized? Does this matter? Will I get a steeper filter, more high cut, with something else than my electrolytes?

I was pointlessly surfing and found some information on MT-2 mods (including Keeley) that may be useful to MT-2 users.

The site is French but the mod info is in English.

The link could also be posted on the Mods thread.

Apparently, the SD1 to ZW44 conversion (look for post by toxin).

I thought we should have the Melanhead DS-1 mod on these sticky pages.

Main link on:
http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=32443.0

And a kind thank you to Aron Neson's www.diystompboxes.com --- forum pages.

Other info on the forum.

Cool! ... Thanks for the sticky. I never thought this mod would get so popular, but I keep seeing it pop up all over the internet. I still do it on a regular basis for local guys, and not one complaint! ... some day I'll put up a website with the rest of my mods ... that is when I learn how to do that!

If I remember correctly, this was the first mod I'd ever done. Basically a modded version of an older Keeley Ultra. The rest was right out of Brian Wampler's book .... I just tweaked it until it sounded right to me ... I guess it sounds right to others as well!

Enjoy!

Bob aka Melanhead

Hi melanhead (Bob)

A big hearty welcome to the forum from Australia.

Any Chance you might post up your actual parts list for the DS-1 Melanhead Mod.
There seems to be some differences, in the postings I have seen.

Great demo files by the way,
If you have any other demos, I would appreciate it, if you would post some links.

Thanks in advance.

Regards Dr. Bob

I'll take a peak at my current version and repost when I get back home ...

I don't have any more soundclips. I haden't used my DS-1 in a while and sold it. I have another broken one that I keep meaning to fix ... when I have time ;)

Found out this one is another easy conversion from a SD-1 to a MXR ZW44
schem is here
http://analogguru.an.ohost.de/

C4 .047
C5 .047
R3 22k
C6 .01
C7 3.3uf
D4 120p parallel to diode
optional
Q1 MPS-A14

this part removes the output buffer
remove Q6,R15 to R17,C10
lift the white wire from 12 and solder it to the top hole of where Q5 was

remove R5 and jumper it,lift the yellow wire from 4 and take the same resistor (or a new 33k) and solder it in series of the yellow wire back to the #4 pad

the schem also shows a 2M2 at R2, try the Laurie/Zentropia mod with a 1M and the two 10k
