Jumpers are those small plastic "clips" that you place on two (or more) pins to connect them. Soldering them is probably the same thing, but without using a clip (read: it's difficult to change the connection later on).
Here's a guide (it's for a CPU though, but the same thing applies):

If anyone tries to hurt you for modding a BOSS, I will personally hard-clip their asses with a meat grinder. The world needs more people who understand basic circuit design, and as I've said before if you have any questions on mods and such PM me.

haa sweet. so i get a small piece of wire, and solder it in where a resistor/capacitor used to be. awsome. why does google have to tell me the same thing in french :zombie:
Clearly, you should also be learning French. Google knows all. Put your trust in Google and all will become clear.
Honestly, I've just used globs of solder on some circuits, especially BOSS pedals where there's just an unoccupied nonconductive 'channel' between two things to jump, because I'm disorganized as hell and have probably bought $50 of wire in the past six months, used ten and lost the other forty in the hell that is my bedroom and closet.

I have modded 3 boss pedals. The only one I didn't like was the blues driver afterwards :'(. The DS-1 however was 100% worth the trouble. Whoever designed that circuit was hopped up on crack or something because it's so thin and shitty stock wise. Throw some mods in there and all of the sudden you get your lower end back! That and the gain structure was quite a bit better after was well.
I am way to lazy to return the blues driver to stock so if I am ever bother I will sell it and buy another stock one.

what mod did you do to your DS-1? i found the all-seeing-eye mod on instructables.com, and im just about to attack it now. i also have an SD-1, and was thinking about bringing down the low end and using her for bass. thoughts?
No.
Making it worthwhile would both ruin a perfectly good SD-1 and take you enough work to make a new circuit altogether.
Just build something off a RAT for bass, or if you want something fancy have it split the signal into lows and highs, distort the highs and compress the lows, and then blend them back together.
DS-1 might make a better grindy bass box, actually...
Jeff
so i changed a few caps to get the low end of the SD-1 going, and it didnt work. every other kind of distortion is there, but it doesnt sound..er..right. anyway, ill dabble with the DS-1 and see what i get

here's what I did and would recommend:
(really easy to do mod...nothing overly fancy)
replace R2, R6 and R7 with metalfilm resistors R2= 1M, R6=2K7 und R7=10K.
condensors C2 and C3 : replace with foil-types 0,1 µF
if you've got an older SD-1 bridge D3 and R31 ... gives more headroom (already jumpered on newer SD-1)

I did this mod:

Honestly the switch (all be it looks cool) never gets used. I don't care for that mod. But the tone sweep is much better as is the gain structure.

LSD- cheers, ill give a go too. is there any way to tell if the capacitors are metalfilm by looking at them? my electronics store doesnt have the biggest range, so i just make do with what i can.
and guitargodgt- i just brought that kit. im going to try the Keeley All seeing eye and ultra mods on one DS-1 and the monteallums tri-axis ultra gain one on another. ill keep you posted on the results
