Hi, Hey , Hello.
I'm doing a mod to my Boss DS-1.
https://www.instructables.com/Modify-Your-Boss-DS-1/Yeah, that one. I've modded a few DS-1's but this time I realized that it's calling for the replacement of several Caps. C2,C8,C9 and C14.
These electrolytic caps are being replaced by Film caps... Yeah? I missed that little piece of info on my last mod and swapped them with NP electrolytics.
This time I was tipped off when I actually read and studied up a bit on the original circuit and what my mod was doing to it. I saw that C14 is already 1uf... Why would it want me to change it just to put a NP electro in?... Oh, because it actually calls for a film cap. Why? What is it doing in the circuit? Why change an electro for a film? Don't specific caps get called for specific reasons? I've never known this to be swapped like this, and some mods call for these values to be changed but not the type of cap used. So who's mod instructions are wrong? Are any wrong? All trial and error? I just want this to perform as expected. Thoughts? Thanks.
