Thanks to the excellent info on Phillips site (http://fuzzcentral.tripod.com) I’ve now successfully modded three BOSS effects: The SD1, BD2 and DS1.

From these three I like the BD2 best and then the DS1. I’m not sure I like the SD1 (even with a Burr Brown OA) but then I don’t care for the sound of a TS9 much.

Two Questions
1. DS1 â€" The "Ultra" and "Seeing eye" mods are performed and then tweaked some (2 red LED:s and germaniums).
I want to be able to dial in more treble. I run the tone pot at 10 and I still want more. (Or maybe I want to cut some bass - but I think I’m looking fore treble).
Would a change of C12 from modded value .1uF do the trick? I’m totally at loss here.

2. The BD has all the Keeley mods and some more (red LED and germanium). I think the sound is as perfect as a pedal can go â€" but, I would like to get some more “body” to the tone â€" maybe some more mids?

Any input is appreciated.
