I've got one; they're pretty decent, and nicely mid-forward, plus the 2 'sources' of dirt means you can get a few colours of dirt.

Pushing the Gain Boost into a lower Dist setting yields more oomph (less attack, more lower mids) than keeping the former lower and the latter higher.

For sure; even Boss themselves seem down on it:

Does your suggested mod boost the volume as well?


Not in a "removing clipping diodes" kinda way, where it doubles in volume, but you get some more volume for sure, since the tone stack is no longer sucking out a good chunk of the signal.

The video I linked above shows it very well, scope it ...

Ahhh, gotcha; cheers!

So Mode and Tap can be repurposed?

I always thought these looked so cool, and then Stompbox Breakdown did a video on it a while ago, and turns out they ARE cool!

RE: DS-1, I did a simple mod to my gf's DS-1 that basically alters the low -end filter in the tilt tone control to get lower mids back, and make the control more usable ...

Double Riccochet'D up on a Thursday afternoon

Can't wait to hear the new noises, bud!

aside: for a sec I got excited about the Stomp XL ("ooh maybe I could upgrade so all my delays & mods can live in one snapshot"), but you only get 4 effect footswitches? One more than the Stomp?

SO PUT ANOTHER DIME IN THE DIMEBAG, DARRELL

Funny-looking Epiphone fr; whats the white shit around the pickup etc.

Pure into that, the kinda "bevelled" body shape rules

Sick as fuck, that thing looks MEAN

Holy crow, what is that Aria tho??

edit: Aria YS-300, thanks Google Lens

I bet Boss wish they'd reissued the CE-1 now...

I get a feeling all of these Behringer "vintage" purposely fall into a way-greyer area of trade dress copyright shit - I remember when they first shared the original designs of the Boss compact pedal rip-offs, they were near identical to Boss and shit ...

Dang, you could get that bad boy under a pickguard; BOOSTIN' FROM THE GROUND FLOOR, YER BABEY

That defo sounds like something 'cold solder joint'-y, or maybe a failing cap (I had similar things happen to my DSL50 back in the day too); getting a tech to look it over certainly sounds like a good idea at this stage, although you could always give the footswitch input/s a blast of contact ...

V cool, I have fond memories of my Mellowtone Wolf Computer; the new amp design and feature set implies something Dumble-y?

Sick as! I went out and bought a Memory Boy as soon as I found how that's what the modulation was on Pamela a few years ago, it's soooooo good

Really fucking enjoying this record, Freddy. It pulls in way more colours and moods than anything Thank have done previously, all of which stands to make the syrupy stuff sweeter, and raucous stuff raucouser .

Perhaps Today might be my fave at the moment; there's so much going on there (including ...

Just wired up my completely indulgent switcher board with new cables, and an upgraded power supply so I don’t have to run out of two sockets. Halberd is new, got brainwashed by YouTube.

Some choice picks! Love to see a fellow Bitquester

You can adjust the mod speed, just not on the fly. There’s a trimpot inside.

You are welcome to have a cheeky lend if you ever want a dabble.



Oh nice! That already puts it above the Carbon Copy, where they're both Trimmy Turners

Very sweet to offer, thanks dude; I'll likely keep an eye on ...

I had my eye on one of these on my endless modulated delay journey, bargain!

how it melts into the dry sound


Took me ages to realise this is my favourite type of delay, esp when there's ALSO a bit of low-end roll off too, so it really sits behind the guitar in the way real ambience does. Sure ...
