build a distortion pedal BYOC Orange Distortion Pedal Kit – Geargas StoreIf you're not in the know about the DS 1, you're probably asking yourself, "Why on earth would I buy a kit to build a DS 1 clone when I could mosey on into any Guitar Center, and pick up a real one for $35?" The DS 1 currently in production is not the same as the original DS 1 that was produced in the 80's. Now you're probably asking yourself, "Why not just get a new DS 1 and modify it or have someone else modify it for me?" That will make it sound
If you're not in the know about the DS-1, you're probably asking yourself, "Why on earth would I buy a kit to build a DS-1 clone when I could mosey on into any Guitar Center, and pick up a real one for $35?" The DS-1 currently in production is not the same as the original DS-1 that was produced in the 80's. Now you're probably asking yourself, "Why not just get a new DS-1 and modify it or have someone else modify it for me?" That will make it sound better, but it still won't be the same as the original DS-1. The original DS-1 used the Toshiba TA7136P chip. When this chip became obsolete, BOSS changed the circuit to accommodate dual op amps. The TA7136P was not a dual op amp. So simply "upgrading" a few parts isn't going to make a DS-1 sound as good as the original.
The BYOC Orange Distortion is a spot on recreation of the original DS-1 circuit that used the TA7136P. The kit comes with a genuine N.O.S. Toshiba TA7136P, higher quality parts than what were used in the originals, extra components to do some of the most popular DS-1 modifications, and a couple of new mods that we've come up with which are the sort of mods you can only do when you're building a pedal from the ground up.
One of these new mods is the addition of a 4th knob, the Pre-Gain knob. The DS-1 circuit has a transistor based boost at the beginning of the circuit. It acts exactly the same way as when you stick a boost pedal in front of any dirt pedal - it "gooses" the dirt pedal and gives it more distortion. This transistor based boost at the beginning of the circuit is set to full blast...all the time! This is why the DS-1 doesn't sound very good at lower gain settings. We added the Pre-Gain knob so that you can control the level of boosted signal going into the actual distortion part of the circuit. This mod makes the BYOC Orange Distortion incredibly more flexible and versatile than an original DS-1.
Another new mod is the Big Muff Mod. This transistor based boost at the beginning of the DS-1 circuit is almost identical to one of the transistor gain stages in an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi. It just needs a few extra components. This transistor based boost is also the cause for a lot of the low end flabbiness that is associated with the DS-1. The BYOC Orange Distortion kit has spaces added to the circuit board for these extra parts, and comes with the extra parts, so that you can modify the boost circuit to be identical to one of the transistor gain stages in a Big Muff. This will not make your pedal sound at all like a Big Muff, but it will give you little more gain and tighten up the low end.
The BYOC Orange Distortion kit also comes with extra parts to do many of the popular DS-1 mods such as more gain, reduction of shrill highs, and lots of extra diodes for all kinds of clipping modifications. We also took the liberty of removing all the aluminum electrolytic capacitors from the signal path and replaced them with superior metal film capacitors as a stock feature of the kit. And, like all BYOC kits, The Orange Distortion comes with true mechanical bypass, so there's no tone-suckage when you're not using it.

Great quality for the price.
Size: Large, Color: Black
All I have to say about this suit is WOW! I lost a good chunk of weight and needed a new suit for an event. Given the price I gave this a shot, and I am really impressed with the quality for the cost. The size is perfect, and the pants are comfortable with an internal elastic that looks and feels nice. The design makes it so the pants don’t slip down with nylon and silk shirts. Looks just as good (if not better) than suits in the $300 price range. I can’t speak for the other colors, but the black suit is exactly what I needed. Let’s see how long the suit lasts!

Amazing suit for the price
Size: Large, Color: Black
So I didn't really need a suit for anything. But I've been wanting one just in case. As such, I wasn't willing to spend a lot. Yet I still wanted to look good when I wore it.
This suit is amazing. I honestly would fit between a medium and a large, and with my current trend down in weight, I may buy an additional in medium(I mean, for under $100, why not?).
While my shoulders have always been a little wide for what fits my waist, the large seems to accommodate even more than I need. I worry if the medium will be too tight, but that's for another day.
The pants are a little long, to be expected considering I generally wear 30' pants. Easy to hem.
The vest seemed a little loose, until I found the adjustment in the back. Now it is perfect.
I may still need to go to a tailor for a more custom fit, but for the price it can't be beat. And I of course haven't tied a tie since I was 16, so time to relearn that.
As far as quality goes, the fabric and stitching all appear to be excellent. I went with the black, as I don't particularly look great in gray, and navy out here seems more suited for church than anything else. The quality of black is excellent.
The quality of the pants is good, but I will still be favoring my dress pants that already fit well.
I especially love the angle of the beast cut(whatever it is called). Whether I choose the vest or not, the black contrast with all of my dress shirts is fantastic.
I will include photos sometime when I'm not too self-conscious about taking selfies.

Really amazing suit that looks like a million bucks!
Size: Large, Color: Black
This is the second suit we bought by Lupurty. The first was dark navy and fit so well and looked so good that we got one in black for our son’s wedding!
