Boss DS1 SimplifiedVerified

From the post

This one didn't quite turn out as intended but I thought I'd post it anyway as it may make a good experiment. Whether you like the idea of removing buffers or not, I think most people would agree that the Lovepedal Eternity is still a great sounding pedal in its own right, and a much more simple build than the TS808. So I wanted to give the DS1, which is hated by many, the Eternity treatment to see if it was more to people's liking. I did this without thinking too much about it though and it was only when I finished that I noticed the buffer I removed was actually a gain stage! :o)

So I was going to scrap it (I will still do one with the gain stage as intended) but I thought it would be good to see how it sounded with your own choice of boost stage before it, Super Hard On, LPB1 etc, and also see how it sounded without the first stage altogether.

The first opamp channel is just a buffer as well, so that could always be turned into a boost with just a couple of extra resistors even if the results mean this is further removed from a DS1. So all that considered I thought it may be something that the tweakers on here may have some fun with.
