so well my boss ds-1 goes through really hard wear and tear so one day before i went to work.. i thought.. "hey.. i could do something about it..." so this is what happened to my ds-1 by the end of the week...
hah good one dude! i was planning on repainting my ds1, ch1, dd3 and cs3 casings. cos the electronics are housed elsewhere. so thought i'd repaint the casings.
i sand it with soft grit paper and then buffed.. got the knobs from one of my old guitars.. polished.. the level knob was just a thing i found at work lol then i just stick it in fits perfectly.. also sand down and it gave this shiny bronze/brass look to it... the name was a manual rub down decal.. really cool stuff..
