Boss DS-1 “Plexi Plus” Mod by Steve McKinley Electronics – Hot-Rodded Classic with British Bite

Take everything you know about the humble DS-1... and toss it in the bin, because this one’s been juiced by Steve McKinley Electronics with their sought-after Plexi Plus mod — a full-throttle transformation that turns the orange box into a snarling British amp in a stompbox.

Originally developed by shredder Shane Regal, this mod doesn’t just tweak — it reinvents. You get vintage Plexi-inspired gain, a midrange boost, and a switchable mid-hump for toggling between vintage crunch and modern punch. It still feels like a DS-1 under your foot, but sounds like you’re plugging straight into a modded Marshall stack pushed to its glorious limits.

Whether you're chasing that classic '70s British grind or want a more sculpted lead tone that cuts through a mix like a hot knife through a JCM800, this thing absolutely delivers.

Key Features:

• Base Pedal: Boss DS-1 (Made in Taiwan version)

• Mod: “Plexi Plus” by Steve McKinley Electronics (SME)

• Tonal Character: Classic Plexi-style gain with boosted mids and modern clarity

• Switchable Mid Hump: Toggle between vintage and modern voicings

• Condition: Excellent – lightly used, works perfectly, sounds ridiculous (in a good way)

• Bonus: You can find demo videos of Shane Regal ripping through this exact mod on YouTube — it holds its own against a Bogner Ecstasy Red

This is the kind of pedal that surprises people — “Wait, that’s a DS-1?” Yep. And it rips.

These don't come available very often. Get it before someone else does!
