I would like to build a DS-1 (never built, never had) and to try all the possible mods to have fun, but t I'm waiting for seeing the difference with the original DS-1 schematic.
Do anyone have some clue about what's new in the Waza version?

Standard DS-1 mode & Custom mode which adds 6dB of Boost & more Mid range!

The custom mode allows people to use the DS-1 they way they always have, as a stand alone Distortion pedal, and not like the “add it on top” distortion booster that it was designed to be. It’s the magic switch that will instantly turn the haters into fans…

It sounds to me (after all the research about the DS-1) like the remove of the R17 resistor mod.Joben Magooch

I would piggyback off of this and (also perhaps not the right place) but it would be really cool to see some common mods integrated into some of the build docs. I know that the Big Muff PCB here does that for example - has all sorts of different component lists for the various versions. Aion did the same with their TS808 PCB in the past - listing some component lists/swaps for popular mods/variants/etc (Clay Jones, Boiling Point, Fulldrive, etc). It would be pretty cool if that option was readily available for some of the more "basic" pedals that have inspired a bunch of clones/variants/mods/etc.

Just to be clear with R17 I was referring on the original schematic of the DS-1 that you can find everywhere with the same numeration.
I don't think PedalPCB has a its version of the Boss DS-1.

I understand. My wish list grow up faster than my built list.

To be fair, the DS-1 has 10 votes in another thread.
Several of those in your list are in progress despite not being marked as such, and one is pretty rare and I can't seem to find it anywhere.
Availability is fairly important.

Speaking of availability- the Revived DOD/Digitech already has the gonkulator back in production and in stores. Can’t remember if that one had an obsolete chip holding it up, but it’d be interesting to see if they’ve changed the circuit to use a readily available alternative in the new 2022 production runs.

Well, I got mine and custom mode sounds good, dude. Anyone else feel like these wazas all deserve 3 modes? Not sure if I'll ever use S mode again lol. Especially since I built Defouler and that thing sure sounds like a basic DS1 to me (but somehow slightly better?). Oh, and this waza is much better than the DS1X I tried and returned a while back. Extra mids without the extreme mids of the DS-2 mode 2.

Is it even a DS-1 then?…

But... why?
Anyway, could I still right about the switch mode mentioned by me some post ago?

I haven't started tracing it yet, I just opened it up and peeked inside.
I will say the Custom switch in the other Waza models I've seen has been fairly elaborate, far more than just a single component swap.
