Boss DS-1 Keeley Mod – Marshall Tone In A Box!

Here goes a side by side demo of an original Boss DS-1 against The Keeley Modded BOSS DS-1. The difference in tone and overall sonic blueprint is pretty amazing, to the point of being a completely different pedal.
Keeley has added higher quality components which lower noise and provide a wider range of gain and volume. The mod aims to deliver more tube-like sweeter distortion tones. The mod also incorporates a "seeing-eye" led light that gets brighter the louder you play and impacts the circuitry to provide a richer distortion tone. There is also a toggle switch for extended gain.
The pedals in this demo are run through a Vox as30vt with a touch of verb. The Keeley website refers to this mod/pedal as the "Finest in Marshall amp tone in box" and after hearing this it's pretty hard to argue with that!!!

I have the DS-1 Ultra and I can tell you, DO NOT USE BATTERIES!!! I’ve been playing with this pedal for a while to find the sweet spot. I don’t have a pedal board and use few pedals. So with a battery, I get this honkey mid (tone suck) sound. It only takes about an hours for it to start sounding bad. Plug it in, no matter what.
