"The sound out of this pedal makes everything thick. Fat is an overused term. From clear to creamy, the signal just gets fatter. It makes all my other gain pedals thin and whiney. I'm talking (**popular pedal builder**), not junk. And I never thought I'd be putting them back in the drawer."

"As I am on the Quest for the HOLY GROWL of CLEAN SUSTAIN. This dog barks... It's the kill swill. I've owned three old Dyna Comps, a CS-2, a CS-1, a CP-835 and a Ross Compressor. Buy a CS-3. Have Indy GUITARIST modify it. And be done with it."

"Amazing variations with the four controls. The tone control and the attack control now have highly audible functions. "No biological function!"

"(The pedal) came back smokin! Killer power chords, cutting leads, fairly transparent, chord definition stays intact. He put a tone pot inside the unit, this allows for tweaking the tone. The exterior tone knob operates within the parameters of the interior one. The sound of this mod retains most of the qualities of the original pedal. Bottom end is more dramatic. It has a modern sound not so vintage. But not nu-metal either. I use this on my tube amps."

"I was a looking for a cheaper alternative to the Keeley and the Bi-comprosser (I still have both). The Boss pedals seemed to not have enough headroom and would squish to life out of a guitar. The Indy mods made the pedal very usable, cut the noise and fixed the squish problem. I think of it as more sustain and less limiter. This is the best deal in the world if you already have the Boss pedal."

"Sounds terrific. Every bit as good as my (**popular pedal builder**) modified pedal, his is a little softer. This is slightly different sound but just as good. I really like the tone control now. It'll take you from a classic sound to something a bit more trashy. Not really a tight Metal Distortion sound but great for everything else. Not noisy either. The Indy site has a sound clip. However, I find the pedal sounding better than expected. Particularly good for Vintage style Hard Rock (Angus, etc.)"

"The mod on this is insane, it took a very boring, tone sucking pedal and made it great. Fas less noise, very clean faster chorus, more depth and shimmer, infact, it now has shimmer where as before it sounded like it was void of high end. Works so much better than stock."

"This mod has taken an otherwise pretty lame Boss Compressor an turned into a warm, fat, quality sounding pedal. I was reluctant to do it at first, but I'm so glad I did. Before it was really tough to get a good sound that didn't effect my tone too much. Now it's actually improved my tone to the point where I'm dissapointed to turn it off. Far less splatty too."

"I'm one happy camper. The best dirty boost for high gain sounds I've ever heard, crystal clear when bypassed, and the parametric EQ tone circuit for the best tone control possible. I'm going to get another one for a backup, I can't take the risk of not having access to this down the road. It's the perfect Mesa Mk dirty boost."

"The Indyguitarist Mod improves this pedal and makes it a better pedal. The pedal now sounds warmer and smoother but with an edge with more gain. The clipping distortion is more organic and less mechanistic than the original, a huge improvement. I think they call that asemetrical clipping. Sustain is very good but not overboard ,notes decay nicely. Great note articulation.
The Jacques pedal has a good foundation to work from because of it's fine engineering with good control of tone. The Mod maintains the great Treble and Bass control. The drive can go from a clean boost to serious distortion. The Modded version is nicely voiced , it can sing like a bird or roar like a lion. This pedal packs a punch and makes your gear sound much full

"This pedal is loud... has great tone, and is soooo _much_ better than the standard DS-1. The old DS-1 had about 1 tone setting which I found acceptable, but the modded one you can pretty much set it at any point and come out with a good sound. The best thing though is that you can hear the tone of the guitar coming through (not like the original) I love the sound of it with the tone at full bass with all my Strat pickups on, it sounds crazy. Very phat. Very responsive. It is now a useable pedal.. Nice for lead stuff too nearly as phat for leads as a Big Muff Pi"
