Inside DS-1 Japan
- Thread starter wahx

Did you build that yourself? and does it work? 
Actually, the reason I need the pics of the ds-1 is that I screw up my pedal.
I did this DIY to transfer the electronics of a Danelectro fabtone into the housing of the ds-1. Because as you all know the the housing of the danelectro is made of plastic not suitable for heavy stomping.
Now, I miss my ds-1 and I cannot figure out how to restore the some of the wirings!
Help me goose, pls give me a snapshot of your ds-1

Yes clean build!! Parallel wires would have increased incidence of electromagnetic conductance. Better to have messy wires.

Hi relinquish69,
I figured out the remaining connections! Based on your snapshots, the tone pot is connected to the level pot by a white wire.
After soldering/desoldering/testing the pedal for around 3 hrs i finally got right. My ds-1 is alive again! Oh man, I really missed the sound of this thing. Of course, I still hate the annoying noise but the sustain is awesome.
Thanks relinquish69 for helping me out.
