Boss DS-1 Distortion - Full Tone Pack (NAM Capture)
Welcome to my definitive Tone Pack for Boss DS-1 Distortion, This is a modified Boss DS-1 featuring the legendary Keeley Electronics Mod blueprint. It completely reimagines the iconic orange pedal, stripping away the harshness of the stock version and turning it into a rich, boutique distortion machine.
This collection includes 15 distinct neural models mapping the entire spectrum of this versatile analog circuit.
The 15 Captures are divided into three categories:
1. Gain Stacking & Boost.
This category includes captures optimized to work in tandem with other pedals or to push the front end of a tube amplifier. Instead of relying on the pedal for full distortion, these settings utilize the DS-1's unique clipping characteristics to add grit, tighten up the low end, or provide a sharp treble kick. Perfect for cutting through a dense mix during solos or adding articulation to an already overdriven channel.
Profiles included:
Clean Tight Boost (Gain Stacking & Boost)
Mid Focused Lead TS-Style (Gain Stacking & Boost)
Treble Booster (Gain Stacking & Boost)
Plexi Pushed Punch (Gain Stacking & Boost)
2. Amp-in-a-Box.
These profiles turn the modified DS-1 into a standalone preamp channel, emulating the crunch, sag, and compression of classic tube amplifiers. Thanks to the Keeley mod's refined tone stack, these captures bridge the gap between vintage low-gain grit and aggressive 90s alternative rock crunch. They deliver a full-bodied, organic distortion directly into a clean amp profile, offering an incredible dynamic response to your guitar's volume knob.
Profiles included:
Classic Rock Crunch (Amp-in-a-Box)
Alternative 90s Crunch (Amp-in-a-Box)
Vintage Hard Rock (Amp-in-a-Box)
Cobain Nevermind Grit (Amp-in-a-Box)
Cobain Bleach Grit (Amp-in-a-Box)
3. Signature & Estremi (Signature & Extreme Tones).
An exclusive collection of high-gain presets designed to replicate the legendary, larger-than-life tones of iconic guitar heroes who made the DS-1 famous. From the ultra-saturated, singing sustain of Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, to the raw, explosive stadium leads of John Frusciante, all the way to heavy, muddy fuzz-like textures. These captures push the modified circuit to its absolute limits, unlocking maximum gain while retaining musicality.
Profiles included:
Satriani Signature Setup (Signature & Extreme)
Liquid Solo Max Gain (Signature & Extreme)
Fat Muddy Fuzz-Like (Signature & Extreme)
Vai Saturated Lead (Signature & Extreme)
Satriani Cranked Wall (Signature & Extreme)
rusciante Stadium Lead (Signature & Extreme)

Technical Explanation of Knob Parameter Mapping Using Clock Positions
The parameter values for the knobs in this model are represented using a clock-face reference system based on the traditional clock layout: 12 is at the top, 3 is on the right, 6 is at the bottom, and 9 is on the left.
However, the numerical values assigned to the knobs do not correspond directly to the standard clock hours. Instead, they represent specific angular positions of the potentiometer (pot) along its physical rotation path, which may be non-linear and asymmetrical.
For example, the value 11 corresponds approximately to the 11 o’clock position on the clock face, which is slightly left and above the top center (12 o’clock). In this model, this position is interpreted as near the midpoint of the pot’s rotation range, not near the maximum.
This custom mapping allows for a more accurate representation of the actual physical position of the knobs, reflecting the true behavior of the potentiometers rather than a simple linear scale.
By using this clock-based notation, users can intuitively understand and replicate knob settings, ensuring precise tone adjustments and consistent results across different setups.
