Finally!!!!! A video that doesn't tell me I'm "using the DS-1 wrong". Really well done.
Tone at 9 o'clock and Dist at 3 o'clock, ,my perfect sound
What about the level?
@@jugginwickI keep it 12 o'clock
Bought ds1 today. Tried that and loved it thanks man!
Myn:
Tone: 9 clk
Distortion: 5 clk
Level: 12 clk

Damn dude, you just made the best DS-1 review out there! It clearly shows how awesome this pedal can sound if you know how to tweak it and play it !
Thank you :)
@@SRguitar great with amp distortion as well I use this for as boost for playing early Norwegian black metal
I use the exact number 2 setting with this song :
ruclips.net/video/s5M8EFTlRkE/видео.html
Tip number 6) if you have a two channel amp then select your overdrive channel and make this as clean as possible (turn the gain down to 1 and turn the volume up). Run your DS1 into the amps (now clean) OD channel and turn up the dist knob to max on the pedal. Use your guitars volume knob to get a range of clean, crunch and lead sounds.
Usually an amps OD channel has a better lower and mid range response which will help give your DS1 that classic warm Marshall type Overdrive/distortion sound and prevent that fizzy, transistor radio sound you get by using a DS1 into a clean, sparkly amp.
That’s a really good point! Have to try that ;)
All I have is a vox 2 channel amp , a joyo high gain pedal how can I recreate black metal tone ?
@Steve buy a metal zone lol
This is fantastic advice: Tone at 12 o'clock level at max, distortion at max. Plugged into gain channel as you say. Sounds very good. Gives a nice 90s grunge sound.
I use it with a tube screamer for a classic metal sound. Tube Sreamer with drive on 1 Tone 6 and level full > DS-1 tone 3, gain barely on (1 maybe) level full > Slighly breaking up Marshall, bass 3, mid 2, treble 6.
Versatile, not expensive, good sounding. I love the DS1 . Thanks for the video. Cheers from Brazil.
PS - I use it with full dist and the others knob on 12 o'clock. It gives me a good sustain for solos.
Practice matters with this pedal ! Take the time to listen to all the tones, growls, distortion levels, sustain- yes sustain ! Most individuals dont hear it ,but it's there ! And last but not least, it has a small window of Overdrive ! Yeap, try volume 11 o'clock, tone 1 -ish,and distortion at 2:30 -ish !!!! That's what the Girls say is the sweet spot ! If you know what I mean ! Peace !😎✌
I preffer to use this ds-1 for solo boost ☺️
I bought this cause of you. What a legend
Thank you :)
I watched reviews on this pedal all morning and was gonna pass until I watched this one, and am buying one first thing this week. Amazing sound you pulled out of this pedal
Thanks man! I really appreciate that :)
great video dude!
Thanks!
Excellent video, sir! By your playing style, I wish I were your neighbor. I'd be grabbing my bass and microphone, finding a drummer and knocking on your door. 😉
Can I come too 😂🎸
Sure 😂
Try a composer pro or a ultrafex pro from beringer in line with the ds1, it will blow your mind. Totally awesome. Rock on.
Love your playing dude, subscribed.
Thanks man! :)
30 min later, that awesome bro. 😊 rock on
First pedal i owned now today I’m buying another used for 50 great deal as it seems
Am I right that your clean sound is a bit crunchy? All the most convincing demos seem to say this is the way to get the best sounds from the DS-1, that it was designed for cranked power amps on the late 70s-80s. Sounds really good
in the fx return too by the way. Got one coming in the mail!
Yeah that’s right! It sounds good in front of a clean amp too, but it really sounds best when the amp is on the edge of break up :)
@@SRguitar Thanks
I have the same exact pedal.
Man when you use it like a boost #3 was such a tight sound can you share how you had the amp set for that??
nice and informative. Thanx!
5,150th view!! 5150 man!
Yes!
Question: Is it normal to have any volume drop with the ds 1 placed after my overdrive? I'll have the level cranked all the way up and it still feels like the volume drops when the ds 1 is engaged 🤔
Well played!
Awesome video, Thank you so much!
Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it
When I connect this I get a constant static buzz which is very annoying. Do you know how to get rid of it? Sometimes a Humbucker pickup or certain angle of guitar reduces the noise. Any solution is appreciated
Cheesy as Hell, I Luv it!
Exactly looking if I can use it as an overdrive, thanks ❤❤❤, can you use it for solo without using boost from amp or booster pedal?
Yes, you can use any type of petal or rack mount effects. It's awesome
Here's a little thing to be aware of, in my case at least. It does not respond well to EMG Active pickups (possibly all active pickups) it sounds amazing through all my guitars with passive pickups, but once I plug in my Ibanez with emg 81/85 config it sounds like thumpy garbage lmao.
Hi Sascha ✌️ich bin großer Fan deiner Videos. Ich würde mich freuen wenn du so ein Video über das Boss Metal Zone machen würdest
Hi Julian,
freut mich dass dir meine Videos gefallen!
Ich schau mal ob sich sowas machen lässt ;)
@@SRguitar Alles klar das wäre nett 👍
Nice tone! What amp did you use for this demo? Thank you
Thanks! I used the Marshall Origin 5C with the Two Notes Captor 16 and speaker simulation
m.thomann.de/pl/marshall_origin_5c_combo.htm?offid=1&affid=398
just a quick question, my ds1 is SUPER noisy, like whenever i stop playing i get tons of feedback and background noise, any thoughts?
Hm, I got noise on high gain settings too. Maybe try a noise gate
It’s kind of expected with any distortion pedal, but a noise gate or turn your volume off when not playing , just trying to help cause I had same issue
Love that 2nd guitar.
What is it....good sound.
What happens if you use a Ds-1 in front of your OD-Pedal instead of after? Is it to recommend?
Good question, never tried that combination 😅
I do it like that, sounds looser but still ok imo
Just bought the DS-1. Have it in front of an OCD, not much point in having both on together, the last pedal (OCD) is dominant, hence warm not bright. If you want bright disortion, just engage the DS-1. Yet to try the DS-1 after the OCD; half expect it will be mushy with both engaged.
@@SaxJockey If I use Ds-1 before OD it works like a boost I think?
@@jas641 Just tried the DS-1 after the OCD; I prefer that set up; works well (both on adds noise). The DS-1 is known to compress the signal, so going through the OCD first boosts the desirable frequencies. The DS-1 then provides the distortion on top (with some compression). DS-1 last = prominent bright distortion. OCD last = prominent warm overdrive.
Outstanding. :)
Thanks!
does it need a battery and power adapter? i lost my power adapter cable and just put a battery in it after a few years and it doesn’t turn on
Super!
Can you use this pedal for little blues playing
Subbed 🔥
Bester boy 🥺🥺
when i turn on my pedal it has a lot of bussy sound going on
do you have any solutions?
Great demo
Thanks!
Hey Sasha. Mir gefallen Deine RUclips Beiträge sehr gut, ich finde sie lehrreich und informativ und man kann ja immer noch etwas dazu lernen. Trotzdem hätte ich eine Frage, auch wenn die vielleicht ganz schnell in einem falschen Licht erscheinen mag, aber so ist sie nicht gemeint. Ich bin weder braun noch wähle ich rechts😉 Trotzdem würde ich mir zumindest für mich wünschen, dass Du als deutschsprachiger Gitarrist Deine Videos in deutsch ausführen würdest, und das nicht aus einem verdrehten Nationalbewußtsein heraus, sondern aus ganz praktischen Gründen. Mir als altem Kerl, der lediglich Schulenglisch- Kenntnisse besitz, fordert es doch viel Konzentration ab, den Inhalte Deiner Komentare zumindest sinngemäß zu folgen. Und mit guten englischsprachigen Kanälen kann man sich bei RUclips tot schmeißen, gute deutschsprachige sind leider eher rar. Du könntest das ändern. Wäre schön, wenn Du für alle "Englisch Legahsteniker" vielleicht mal darüber nachdenken. Ansonsten weiter so👍
Hi Mario,
das ist echt witzig, ich habe genau den selben Gedanken seit einiger Zeit und ich plane tatsächlich ab spätestens Januar parallel noch einen deutschen Kanal zu starten 😉
Ich gebe dir da vollkommen recht, englische Kanäle gibt es sehr viele, aber viele deutsche noch nicht.
Danke jedenfalls für den Kommentar, das bestätigt mein Vorhaben nur noch mehr :)
You need a very good amp for this to sound good, if you have small 30 watts cheap amp youll need a cabsim to make it right watch my videos im using cheap amo
What does the shaking do..
I mean Joe satriani used this in the 80s through his plexi
Like how he starts with Metallicas “But the memory remains”
🤘🤘☠🎱🔥
In line with a composer pro or ultrafex pro from beringer, is amazing.
Your vid is really the rigth way to use this pedal i mean many people don't know the pedal has to be with use with a CLEAN amp only to get the sound of what is the pedal itself .
Just one thing why not using it with a REAL amp ? Cause even if i understood the purpose of your demo , uses virtuals cabs will never show the real potential of the pedal .
The amp i used is real, just the cabs are virtual. I think the cabinet simulations nowadays are very authentic and sounding way better as if i mic up a speaker in my unprofessional homestudio ;)
@@SRguitar i made a mistake i guess you ll understand , i wanted to say a real amp with "real" cabs" . yeah virtual cabs are ok i ve been a hudge follower on this second way since 18 when it began and it's ok when you re at home and make computing record but i have to say i ve never been satisfied on these things exept having a fractal or the neural like ...but i dont why maybe i am too much old school but nothing compare to play on a real Stal one even at home in my room. As an example i never record my riffs or ideas on a computer but on a REVOX. Take care buddy :)
30 minutes later, LMAO sustain for days. Making my guitar weep now
Its been 5 years since I admire that pedal to buy and now.... I still can't afford 😞
The cobain pedal :P
