Angry Orange - DS1 Distortion

Angry Orange - DS1 Distortion

Note: This is a pcb only project. PCB color may vary


The DBE spin on the DS1 - an accurate retake of this classic 90s distortion pedal.

A problem encountered with many online DS1 schematics floating around is less then unity output with the volume cranked. This is not true of the original DS1 and has been fixed in the Angry Orange from references of the correct original DS1 schematic.

Using easy-to-find components, including silicon transistors, this design embodies the classic Boss DS-1 tone-control and some very cool mods (optional). Check out the 3 unique bill of materials! (70's, Ultra and Angriest)

PCB Sizing: 1590B enclosure (with some planning) otherwise 125b.
