Boss DS-2

[Guardians of the analog]

I don't remember for certain if there was a DS-2 request but I'm all about this. I know it's the all discreet opamp circuitry and it would be so cool because no one else makes one.

Yep, you requested it. It's still on my desktop, not forgotten.

It has a fair amount of JFET switching that I was hoping to avoid, but because of the number of switched nodes it might be the most efficient way (while keeping both switchable modes).

Would this be a good candidate for a stacked board? Also what about just smd jfets and not thru hole?

My quarterly reminder that this is not on my workbench or my pedalboard
At least it's not yats

 

[Robert]

Haven't forgotten, it's still on my desktop. (as well as the other project we've discussed)

Never hurts to bump it back to the top though.

What happened to the Commodore 64 wishlist?

What, you missed out on the limited run?

What, you missed out on the limited run?

No! And I haven't seen any build reports either! Next you'll tell me that I missed the TI-83 Plus release as well!

Make it a TI-84+ and I’m in!

let's just focus on the ds-2

And the ring mods
A match made in Heaven, those two. A DS-2 feeding a Frequency Analyzer is the kind of sweet singing tone to make even the coldest hearts weep

 

[Guardians of the analog]

It's that time, my quarterly bump to make this wish come true.

Upvoted … maybe again. Losing track

I also think it would be really cool to have a Turbo Mode-only pcb, much like the upcoming SD-2 Crunch Mode pcb.

I'd build one of those to get my Weezer on for sure!

 

[ICTRock]

I started buying my unfulfilled wish list pedals ... js

 

[dan.schumaker]

@Guardians of the analog ... maybe its time to give the people what they want

Same here! Rivers is the only reason I have interest in the DS-2, other than the fact that it would be the perfect circuit for a Death Star 2 themed pedal. Even though Blue and the 96 tour are the gold standard for Rivers’ tone imo, and that’s well before he started using the DS-2, Make Believe and the 2004/2005 live stuff when he first started using the DS-2 have just a fantastic thickness to the distortion.

I'm gonna say he started using it around 2000. Pretty unmistakable sound here, imo!
