Police in Columbia, Missouri have arrested two men after confiscating about 20lbs of a substance known only as ‘the fuzz’. The men, whose names and identities were not available at the time of this release, were stopped in the early hours of this morning (Thursday) on Broadway by officers investigating an alleged audio assult on a group of people. These men are know to be affiliated with a fringe group who refer to themselves as ‘fuzzheads.’

Officers discovered ten clear bags containing 10 fuzz pedals and a small amount of tentacle paraphilia.

Both men are due to appear at Court tomorrow.

Description:
Oh no… not another DS-1 modification. But wait…. Bass? Yes!

Originally designed for a heavier guitar distortion, the Penny Pedals DS-1 ‘Bass’ mod takes this pedal where you never thought possible. NOT modified for ’singing highs’ or “delicate, balanced upper mid clarity,’ this DS-1 is simply BRUTAL. Of course, it can be used for guitar… but you may have to pry it from your bass player’s hands!

First, the ‘usual’ DS-1 mods are done, with attention paid to reducing the noise, shrill distortion, and general blah sound. A few key components are adjusted to retain low end frequency response, but maintain a ‘tight’ sound.

Second, the tone control is modified to my own personal ‘flavor,’ reducing the mid drop and making it more usable overall. The tone control is completely usable throughout the entire range… try that with a stock DS-1!

Finally, the addition of a two-way switch gives you the option of two disticnt modes: DS and OD. in DS mode, the overall sound is closer to stock, but with much more low end, Mid-high gain (distortion) and normal output. This is great for cranking the distortion and getting an almost fuzz-style sound. In OD mode, the gain is reduced and overall volume increased a LOT, much more like an overdrive. The low end is huge without being flabby. This is becoming a favorite overdrive for bass players, myself included!

These are new units, fresh with factory boxes and papers, as well as my own manual. I can also modify your existing DS-1 to Bass spec, just email for info!

Should get one or two reviews posted tonight. Only some technical difficulties prevented it from starting yesterday. I’ve been away in Dallas, but things are heating up here in the house now. Additionally, I expect the first ten Tentacle Love Super Fuzz to be ready this week. After I finish sorting through some stuff and get the specs posted the available group will be for sale.

I doing a small run of t-shirts to offer along with the TLSF as well, so I’ll get that info (and photos) together and posted later as well.

Also got a couple of pedals from a trade sitting here in the office…
