| Hmmm...guess I mis-twisted cause it works great now. I probably went through every combination but the right one. Very nice! I like that I can play with full distortion but still hear very good seperation of notes. It has a great bite to it as well, I think I like mosfets now. What if I wanted to have a tighter bass end, would I just shrink the value of C5 a little, maybe like to .68uF? I play through an old Vibroverb (15" speaker, lots of lows). Thank you for the help, this should be interesting to hear at stage volume. |

Just did this mod to a MIT DS-1, M5223AL chip. Used a 2N7000 (I have these from my MT-2 stormchaser mod).
Wow... nice mod! It really sings!
What are the "sweet spot" resistances you selected for your toggle?

For tighter bass you could go for as low as 0.1 uF on C5.
I'm glad you've liked the mod; Initially, I was worried you've damaged the pedal in the process.

I don't remember the exact values by heart. I will open my DS-1 tonight and let you know though. I am pretty sure it was something like 100 Ohm for the highest gain and 680 Ohm for the lowest. |

Fantastic, thanks. I'll play around to see what sounds best with the 15". I'm going to sneak this pedal into the mix this weekend and see what everyone thinks. |

| Just pulling this mod out of my DS-1. Nice mod, but after a few months it just isn't "sticking". |
