The Defouler! Billed by Robert as a dumbed down Boss DF-2 super feedbacker, and as far as I know, the best stand-in in the PPCB catalog for the classic DS-1.
Sounds great to me. I’ve actually never played a real DS-1, but when I started buying pedals last year not knowing very much my local shop had a DS-1x and I grabbed it thinking “maybe that’s just the current DS1”. When I realized I’d payed triple for a less cool digital version of what I wanted I was a little bummed and moved on to other stuff pretty quickly. After I built the defouler I was inspired to pull the DS-1x back out and it’s actually pretty good despite being very uncool.
I tend to load up my ppcb wishlist when I see cool build reports and demos, then by the time they’re getting assembled I don’t even remember what they are. If I had remembered this board was gonna make DS-1 sounds I would have put it together sooner and maybe picked a better color. I think this is Candy yellow from tayda. Not my favorite.
Other than the crap color, I like this one a lot and will definitely get some use out of it.
I talked up a big game on another thread about how I was gonna start posting some sound clips. I did make a couple attempts but got frustrated and never got back to it. I haven’t given up completely, but I figured I’d get this posted before the photos get buried and I forget about it.
