SD-1 was my first
@@andrewsadach3194 Nice!
I purchased this pedal over 20 years ago and couldn’t stand the sound. Now Im getting all sorts of distorted goodness. This pedal is great when it’s used correctly. Thank you
That’s awesome! Such a killer pedal for such a cheap price! Glad to help James!!
If you crank the amp distortion, and then on the pedal set the tone to max and level to max, you get chainsaw settings.
Ya mine sat on a shelf for a decade till I knew wtf I was doing 😂😂
Недавно купил дс-1 новый 1989 года. Посмотрю это видео для себя завтра 🤝
@@josefpdxeww
Tone to max?
Are you joking ?
I started playing in 78. I bought my DS-1 back in 1981I Still have the very same DS-1! I’m still jamming and this damn will probably out last me. Hell, I may pass it on down to my grand kids!
Oh yeah ! They are built to last! They are as tough as a tank! 💪🏻
Probably worth a few quid now that pedal
Finally. A video that properly explain how to use it properly. I love my DS1
Thanks man! It’s a great pedal when used correctly! 😁😁. Glad you love the DS1! Thanks for watching and commenting 💪🏻
The DS-1 is a great pedal. I haven't used one in quite some time, but I played one on many gigs. Another tip about this pedal is that it really shines with the level on full. Sort of like the idea that an amp in the 70s needed to be turned up all the way for the best tone, this pedal works really well that way also. It actually makes for a really good overdrive with the level full and the gain between 9:00 and noon.
Oh yeah! Like pushing a tube amp into overdrive. I live doing that with the Ts9 but the DS1 also does that very well. Especially if your amp is tube driven. Great advice there !
I've always found full Vol/level settings best on the majority of distortion pedals I've used over the years🤘
Great Video Pat. You open my understanding about that padal.
I am glad I did Marc! It's a very misunderstood pedal... I remember playing it as a salesman and people loved it, bought it and returned it a few days later.. I had to explain how it worked all over again, lol
Pete Thorn taught me how to use it correctly after finding it fizzy and thin for years. The tine knob is the key. A good guitar and a good amp are still crucial though
Totally!
I actually use the ds-1 with a ts9 most of the time, and I think the two work so beautifully together to create a nice full sound!
Love that! TS9 is THE pedal! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
In front or after the Ts9dx which your favorite?
THIS IS THE WAY!!!!
Keep that tone at 9 o'clock or under and you're golden. Stacking it with another dirt box is the way to make it work on an amp that won't get dirty.
This guy knows what he’s talking about! Stacking pedals like a man!
Stacking one into a bd2 sounds unreal. Best part is you can great a great clean tone rolling back the guitar volume knob too.
Nice
SD-1 works beautifully with DS-1. It seems as if the two pedals were actually made to be used stacked.
@@Urizen777 Hell yeah!! DS1 s highly stackable and with the SD1 is a great pair!
VERY helpful info on how to use the Boss Distortion pedal. Like most players, I tried it on a clean amp and could not get a good tone. Even tried using the Boss EQ with it which didn't work either. Now I understand why. The pedal PUSHES the distortion already present in the amp. It doesn't provide it on it's own. Great video! Thumbs up!
Exactly! I am SO HAPPY it helped! Thank you for the comment. I ran into it so much back in the Ash days that I figured I should save people some money and aggravation and explain how and why it does what it does ! Thank you for commenting!
Metal did that a lot in the 80s. Ran a tube screamer to boost the amp gain. Easy.
I found this video VERY HELPFUL. Now I know why this pedal - which I always called the chunk of cheese - never quite did it for me. Thank you!
That's awesome! Happy to help!! Hope you give this bad boy another try and let me know how it goes!
This pedal can be good for metal but where it really shines is grunge tones like Nirvana
That is true. It was famously “used” by Kurt (although it’s still debated if it wasn’t a fuzz box instead) but it can definitely do that job !!
Yes, size to loan my DS one it’s on one of my paddle boards and I’ve always loved it. It’s one of the baseline that I have for my distortion pedals great video dude.
Thank you brother! Yes! The DS1 is a great “always on” pedal! Just like the TS9, it gives you that extra oomph you sometimes need!
Great pedal talk, rock on!
Thanks man!! I always felt sorry for this pedal, people HATE IT! lol... I might have to do one about the MT2 too hahaha
I just recently discovered this, it's a very versatile pedal for adding harmonics and sustain
100%!!! It definitely enhances and emphasizes the top end and harmonics to give your tone more depth... and sustain galore!
the tone knob on the pedal plays a big role in how it sounds too, imo it starts sounding too thin past 12 oclock on the tone knob, sounds way better on lower settings
It Definitely does!
Totally agree. I just use the pedal by itself and put it at about 9 or 10 o'clock and it works perfect for me.
Of cours the tone knob goes from bass to treble, hence best around ( imo ) 11, pushing mids.. on my 7 string I push tone to around 1
I'm not a performance-level player, just a basement guy, so there will never be a lot of high-end stuff in my rig. That said, DS-1 sits on my pedal board right after the classic green Ibanez overdrive, and I rarely use a lot of settings on the amp itself. When I built the board, I played with the order of those 2 pedals a lot, and my tastes settled on feeding OD into DS vs. the other way around. Maybe I'll swap them again with this in mind, but again, it's just for my ears most of the time so ultimately it's what this audience of 1 likes to hear.
Good info though - you've got a fun delivery combined with interesting content!
I’m another who bought my DS-1 in 1980 or 81. Partly because there was no such thing then as a ‘clean pedal platform’ I never used mine like that. I’ve always used it like you advise, and I still use it today. Built like a tank, but lasts longer.
Nice!! They will outlive all of us!
thanks man. this was really the demo i needed.
Glad I could help!😁😁
@@PatPosse yeah mate I appreciate it!
Anytime!! 🤘🏻
I run this pedal after my Boss Blues Driver, which I use on the clean channel of my Laney amp. I have the tone and the distortion set at 8 o'clock and the level just past 1 o'clock on the DS1, the Blues Driver has the level and gain set at 10 o'clock and the tone at 1 o'clock. My Schecter screams like crazy when I run both for leads. A slight subtle boost from the DS1 makes a huge difference. I hear people calling the DS1 a noisy pedal. It can be if you dial in too much distortion or gain. A little goes a long way with the DS1 😁🎸
Exactly this! People push it too hard expecting it to take them from clean to cannibal corpse and that’s not what it’s meant to do. I’ve done TS9 into this and Blues Breaker into this so I’m sure Blues Driver into this would sound great as well… add a little delay and you are all set! Thanks for watching and commenting brother!
DS-1 rules. The key is to run it into some slight OD, and back off on the distortion. Super buttery
Oh yeah!!! Smooth!!
This. Run it into the yellow Boss overdrive pedal, then into your amp. That was my setup in the '90s.
Kreator T-Shirt🤘🔥
Hell yeah dude!! Kreator rules!
Running a ds1. Behind Ibanez jem distortion into a 100 watt handwired plexi. Absolutely amazing.
I bet it is! Can’t go wrong 🤘🏻🤘🏻
The video was great can't wait for more 😂
Thanks bud!! There will be one every month :D
Brilliant playing and demo. You sold me this pedal. I bought one years before and only tried it on clean settings of my amp. It really sucked as youve explained. Harsh and weak. Thanks to you I will give it one more chance. Mick and Dan in that pedal show made also more Light on this underrated but oversold pedal.
Glad to help, that’s what it’s all about ! Let me know if it works out better for you!!
I purchased that pedal in 1982 and still use it to this day. Great video, well done!
Thanks my dude!! It's an old video that got the most love out of all of them... I think I have gotten better at videos but somehow this one just struck a chord with everyone. DS-1 is definitely a great pedal when used properly and it's built like a tank! Thanks for watching and commenting, hope to see you around here again!
I have 2 DS-1s... one is stock and the other I installed the Keely ultra seeing-eye mod. They both sound great if used like you describe! Mine go into a dirty Marshall with fantastic results.
I also use a EQD Plumes overdrive (TS type circuit) and a Big Muff in the same way. They all need an amp tone with some dirt before the magic comes out...
Also, stacking the DS-1 with Overdrives can work well too! Pair it with a Behringer TO800 and you have a powerful combination that cost you less than $60!
Oh hell yeah! You are right on the money! Stacking rules 🤘🏻. I should have addressed that on the video but I had no pedal to stack it with hahaha. Thanks for watching and commenting Tom!
those extra harmonics from the ds1 are beautiful
Oh yeah! The harmonic content on it is ridiculous!
DS-1 is my go-to pedal. I love it. I can understand why people might not like it, but I have always enjoyed using it when I play.
Hell yeah. I guess people expect something completely different from it. It rocks as a boost 🤘🏻
Keep the tone under 11 o'clock and this pedal is actually very good. I modded mine with the Seeing Eye Mod, exchanged some caps with silver mica cap, and swapped the clipping diodes for a pair of low power blue leds. It sounds wider, bigger, and clearer than stock with a slight fuzz character. Sadly, the new ones use surface mount components and cannot be easily modded like the older ones.
Wow that sounds like some awesome mods! Yeah too bad everything modern seems to be made to not be “upgradeable”
I've been playing for around 15 years and I got my first ds-1 within the past year. I run an overdrive before it and it gives it some extra chunk. I usually dial the ds-1 in the "wrong'' way. Distortion up all the way level up all the way and tone at noon. Really nails the old school death metal tones that by today's standards that are "bad" tones. You should do a video on the proco rat.
Of course it’s not set in stone! And what works, works! Your use of quotes is spot on! There’s no “right” or “wrong” way to be honest. It’s all about the end result! Video on the rat sounds good! I don’t own one but I’ll look around for a used one or I’ll ask my friends if they have one I can borrow! Thanks for watching and commenting! Death Metal rules! 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Same set up over here - I push a JCM 800 Pre Amp clone with it - sounds great 🔊🔥🤘🔥🔊
@@lillehammerexperimental Hell yeah!! Simple yet effective!
started playing guitar a little over a year ago and across the past 3 months ive started getting an actual guitar rig and i love the ds1 its my only distortion so far but its great
Awesome dude!! Keep it up 💪🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
I own this pedal and the first time I used it, I loved then. Then, not so much. :D Thank you for this video.
Thank you for watching!!
The DS-1 was my first pedal ever, I still have it, and I still use it like 20+ years later.
Built to last! It’s a tank💪🏻🤘🏻
Fantastic video about BOSS Distorsion
Many many thanks Nick!
Brilliant video mate 👍🏻
Thank you!! Glad to help 😁😁
Damn I really like all the tones this pedal can do! I love these retro sounds I've been chasing for so long. Even your least likable sounds were amazing to me.🤘😁
I hear some killer songs coming out of my head already from this pedal. Thank you for the informative video
That rules!! I am happy to help 😁😁! Make sure to mention me on the “thanks to” credits when your album comes out ! 💪🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
So true. It can be the worst or best sounding distortion pedal, depending on many other things, primarily your amp., but lower output pickups can help too. Also keep in mind the pedal volume level effects tone. Too low and distortion high tends to not sound so great. Also, in my opinion anyway, the new Waza Craft version sounds good in the clean channel. Of course, it's not as beefy but it doesn't sound so thin and brittle like classic version. And of course, it sounds ULTRA beefy in the dirt channel.
That’s spot on! I lower output pickups help a lot! They seem to have addressed that issue with the Waza mod 🤘🏻
I use the DS-1 in combination with the built-in gain on my amp (1983 Fender Concert with an EV - all tubes). Works really well. I also use a Boss Turbo Overdrive just in front of the DS-1 when I want it to feed back. Boss pedals really are bullet proof. I'm still using the pedals I bought in the '90s. The only problem I've had with any of them is that a switch crapped out on one. Easy fix.
Totally ! Built like a goddamned tank! and IF they EVER crap out on you, the parts are easy enough to find and available worldwide!
Just bought one, now I'm watching you to learn how to use it.
Nice! Best of luck, hope to have helped!
*Use it to boost a tube amp! 🏆 The best on the market! Excellent demo!*
Thank you brother and yes! Push that sucka!!!
Great review and playing 🖤
@@GrungePopRecords thank you!!! 😁
I use the Boss Overdrive and it just works for pushing it for a lead tone on an already distorted amp. I don’t use distortion pedals anymore. Well, except for the MXR EVH, that one is solid
Amp distortion is the best! 🤘🏻
great video. with very minimal gain the DS1 adds the right amount of sizzle to a 2203 & retains bottom end that the SD1 / TS9 lose.🤘
Damn straight !! Just that little push it needs!
This is the only pedal I have. I usually play bass but I was in a band where I was talked into playing lead guitar we did Yardbirds "Heart full of soul" the Byrds "8 miles high" Beatles "Taxman" and some other classic rock and blues songs and I used the DS-1. No complaints.
Nice! It definitely adds some dirt and oomph to a bass sound!
@@PatPosse I haven't tried that. What I meant was that I played six-string guitar in the band because someone else really really wanted to play bass. So I showed her how.
Oh lol gotcha! 😁🤘🏻
I picked up a DS1 Wazacraft and when i used the clean channel on the amp, I knew something was wrong lol I am fairly new to pedals so this helped a lot.
That’s what it’s all about my friend!! Happy to have helped 😁🤘🏻🤘🏻
As a matter of fact the DS-1 IS designed to get you distortion on its own. It is not simply a booster pedal that just gives you more of what you have. Neither is a tube screamer. The DS-1 is a hard clipping distortion circuit, and a tube screamer is a soft clipping distortion circuit that is famous for boosting mids. It does sound better in an already slightly distorted amp compared to a clean one, but it does, like any other distortion pedal, create its own distortion by clipping the signal.
This pedal has kept me from buying a new amp for 9 years. I have a cheap berringer acoustic amp placed in a wooden box bam tone and heavy distortion
Never had a problem getting great solo and rhythm tones from a DS-1😅😂
Me neither! But there’s SO much people who have… just look at the comment section and you’ll see most people hated it.
DS-1 is just like a tube screamer but more creamy, it works great in front of a sliiightly breaking up clean tone just like you showed. I also have a little trainer squier amp lol, yes it does sound like farty soda pop just dumped into a super clean digital amp.
Hahaha 😂 yup!! Cool stuff! Thanks for sharing 🤘🏻
I’ve had my DS-1 since ‘84. Still looks good and sounds great. It was a crucial part of my meager pedal chain including a DD-2, DOD chorus, and DOD flanger, all plugged into the front of my Peavey Renown 2x12 combo.
Built like a TANK my bro!! Never played that amp or eve seen it! That's awesome!
Yeah, I could’ve taken that rig to war! 😂
@@TheLadsBandLive Might have won it too!!
Also my first pedal. Blew my mind I could switch between my Peavey Rage clean to distortion. After a year hated it. Still have it and revisited a few years ago. It's actually awesome. I think I've had it like 24 years
Built to last, my bro!
Hi Pat. Nice clean playing and spot on timing. At present I am looking for a DS-1 and if lucky get the 83 version I prefer the sound of. Watched many videos demonstrating it and many of them made the same justified point, to increase the gain on the amp before using the pedal. A booster so to speak. What is also worth mentioning is that in those days of heavy rock most amps were tube/valve amps, which have a sound character almost impossible to copy with electronics, though much more convenient. Like you will never forget the sound a Hammond organ with Leslie (rotary) speaker from that period. I was there and I know.
You see, I am 73 years old and have played the guitar since I was ten and remains my main instrument, although I did also play the drum, both in bands and could always quickly learn to play simple stuff on most instruments, except the violin (horrendous noise). For three decades I have recorded at home on Cubase SX, recently upgraded to 10.5 I yet need to fully grasp. I have a Firefly SG and replaced the pick ups with Di Marzio's super distortion, new posts and switch and new machine heads that lock. My acoustic is my pride, a Atkin OM cutaway which over the years is sounding better and better and the real value to me.
I love to make music and still record, posting a few tracks on Soundcloud under Bert. I am nothing special but can hold my own since my fingers have not slowed down (yet).
Anyway, I got carried away because what I meant to say was that I enjoyed your demo because the manner in which you explained it was precise and to the point and I like the clarity you presented. NEVER give up playing. You will not find a nicer hobby but is a very tough profession. Wish you the best. Berthold, UK
Thank you very much for the support! You are definitely an inspiration Bert! Glad for have helped with my video an 83 DS1 would sound amazing! Hammonds and Leslie’s are beautiful, maybe one day I’ll own one of each 🤤. Keep it up my dude! Let me know if you find that ‘83 Boss pedal!!
Thanks for watching and the positive comments !
I use my ds-1 on a hot rod deluxe fender amp and a strat, no complaints ,so far,I,ve had my pedal since 95'
Hell yeah!! Built to last baby!
+1. Gigged on a DS-1 into a Hot Rod Deluxe for years. They go together like PB&J. Got compliments all the time.
This was my second purchase after the Boss DD-3 I still have it originally tried to get the heavy tone back in 2014 started using it as just a overdrive pedal already with my metal muff and waza craft hm2-w so I appreciate the extra info! Super informative!
Awesome! These pedals are built to last 🤘🏻. Glad to help brother!
Thinking about this a bit more, you set this up using crunch channel on your amp. Assuming you've got an amp that does clean/crunch/lead you shouldn't need a distortion pedal, you could just switch to the lead channel... although it might be a subtly different tone, level of drive etc, like clean/crunch/lead/aarrgh!
Sometimes the lead channel needs a little compression and a bit more umph. That’s where the DS1 comes in 💪🏻
Wish you would show a closeup of the pedal to know where the tone and gain are set.
Sorry about that, I’ll keep it in mind for next one ! Thanks for the feedback
FACTS SUBSCRIBED
🤙🏿😊 cheers from Newport Beach, CA 🎉
Thank you brother!! 🤘🏻🤘🏻 hope you enjoy the content 💪🏻💪🏻
I use this pedal with the distortion all the way up and with the tone at 9:00 (sounds like garbage if you go any higher than that) into the clean channel of my amp and it sounds incredible to me, it’s my go-to tone.
I totally agree! Past that threshold it blows. It really depends on the amp and desired overdrive 🤘🏻
For me, the DS1 is excellent for leads kinda like the same treatment that Vai and Satriani did with this pedal
Putting to push the leads in an already mid-gain amp for the sustain and harmonics
Totally! As a boost…
This was the very first effects pedal I bought and that was in the late 90s. I never had one complaint with it. I think i still have it but it's in storage because I haven't seen it in about a decade. The 9 volt battery loves to go dead way too fast tho so if you get one get the ac/DC converter and plug it into the wall. Then jam until you're blue in the face. Lol. I love the pedal
Damn straight!! It's built like a tank and when used properly it can rock your socks off!!
@@PatPosse yeah it works on everything from green day to scorpions to Ted nugent, etc. It's certainly a universal pedal when it come to sounds it can make. I've always thought of it as one of the better effects pedals. I also have a blue overdrive pedal by the same brand. My only problem now is that both my electric guitars don't work and I know next to nothing about soldering or replacing switches..even more diagnosing the issue. Both of them have no output to my Amp..one the selector switch is the issue and one I think the input jack is the issue. Dude I played every single day from when my parents got me my first electric guitar and Amp kit which was a peavey system to just after my dad died in 2009. I have been homeless since but now I got my ssdi and I still haven't got either of them repaired. I just dunno if I can trust local music shops in my area to do quality repairs. So far I'm back to square one dreaming about playing guitar again but not sure how I'm gonna fix it. I'm praying I get it figured out and get back to guitar soon
I have a boss distortion pedal. I run my amp about half on low end and mid’s, and a little lower for highs. I e paired it up with a boss overdrive. I run the pedals to the amp, distortion from guitar, then overdrive, then the amp. I run both 😊deals about half way up on levels. Gives a great chunk and power to my sound. Loved ur vid.
That sounds like a killer setup! I understand why it would sound great! I’ll have to check it out sometime when I get a new DS1 lol. Gotta keep selling and buying to make reviews 😅
Well...that explains everything.
I sold mine about a week after I bought it when it didn't give me the deep resonant overdrive I was seeking.
Sorry about that... Maybe next time you come across it you'll remember this video and love it!
Best pedal ever. Period
It’s up there for sure! TS9 and the SD1 would be above it for me as far as distortion/overdrive but this dude is a classic.
I started playing guitar in 1982 - yeah, I’m old - and back then most amps for starting players ONLY had a clean channel. Similar thing happened to me when I bought a TS9 and tried to make my amp sound like a Rock amp. On its own, it did not, so I returned it. Stacking pedals or having an amp that had some gain at lower volumes or that was affordable to younger players was not a thing yet.
That’s right. But the standards for high gain were obviously different back then!
You had me at, "Black Sabbath rules!!"
Hell yeah Sabbath rules!
We got too, too, too much posse
We got too, too, too much posse
Hahaha Nice! Public Enemy 💪🏻. That IS my last name 😅
It brought my Blues Jr. to life... Strat-Blues Jr.-DS-1... Done
That rules! It’ll do that for sure!
i might go out and get one today.
Awesome! If by any odd chance you end up going the online purchase way, please use the affiliate link in the description box! Its the cheapest one on Amazon and it gives the channel a very small commission 😁😉
I agree in principle that it works best to push natural gain from the amp. But I don't agree that it sounds terrible over a clean channel. Not all music needs to chug. The tone you dialed up sounded great to me. Perfect for something like the Cars, Skynryd, etc.
True. But I was targeting people who HATE the sound that comes out of it out of the clean channel... basically to give a second chance to this pedal before discarding it altogether... If you like the sound that comes out of the clean channel then you don't really need this video (although it can still give a new color to your guitar tone palette!)
Thanks for watching and commenting!
Gary Moore used a DS1 in the 80s when he would use single coil strats. He used it as a boost like you demonstrated with his already quite driven marshal amps. Great tone he got then. But I mean he always had a good tone.
Gary could get great tone out of a broomstick and two wires!!
The distortion sounds I hear on classic rock, and what I buy are different. Never found a amp, or pedal that works. Late 70s rock is the hardest to find.
That is because in the 70s records there was a lot more on the post production side of things. Lots of room, mic’ing and tape saturation, plus tubes galore ! All of that influenced the sound of the decade. Once the 80s hit, everything became more digital and automated. Less experimenting and more cookie cutter. It all went downhill from there…
I have it... its awesome!
Damn straight !!
Bloody hell, someone who makes sense!
Thank you! Glad to help!!
I use it to boost on solos, I used much less amp distortion than used in the video, but I play different style of music
Nice! For real! It’s a great pedal for many different genres!
I think your amp's crunch sounded awesome already...I'd just boost it a bit with something like a TS9 or SD1 instead.
I usually do 😉
Adding in OD-3 after the sd-1 makes a massive difference in presence. Ds-1 is best tone and gain noon and below
Totally. I always use it as a boost with almost no gain but all the volume!
Much like the Metalzone, if you use it into the effects line-in it sounds way way better.
Totally! I’ve made that video too lol
Good advice. The DS1 is also great paired with a Big Muff style fuzz pedal, especially if you into stoner/doom stuff.
Oh yeah!!
This was my first pedal!! I love it and it's awesome hahaha. Thanks for the video I loved it!!
That's awesome! you guys are validating my point! Thanks!
I've had this pedal for a long time. I know exactly what to expect from it. Love my DS-1
Nice 🤘🏻🤘🏻
As much as I like this great video I am even more impressed with your attention to the comment section! Very well done!
Oh buddy! I appreciate that!! It takes time and effort and I am happy it didn’t go unnoticed 😁😁
Thank you. You made complete sense. I appreciate it! 🤘💪
That’s awesome!! Happy to help! 😁😁
The Boss DS-1 and the RAT are all you need when it comes to dirt.
Great info on that pedal I don't have it but I see it everywhere. Makes me wonder what other pedals are misunderstood 🤔. 💪💪🤘
A LOT actually lol... Yeah this pedal is hugely popular... it's cheap enough lol
Nice rendition of ‘Painkiller’.
Thanks man!! Got a video on Priest coming up tomorrow. There’ll be a lot of priest coming up since their new album is almost out! 😁🤘🏻
I just picked up a 1983 DS-1 off Reverb. Awesomeness! Thanks for the tip. I plan on stacking it with a Tumnus. Let's see what happens!
NICE! Let me know how it goes 😁🤘🏻
On the early Grave albums (that's a band, and from Sweden), the very limited information indicates they used this pedal through a Fender Bassman for the guitar tone. For the record? That's a death metal band. Everyone assumed they used the typical HM2 (chainsaw) for the tone, and it's not the case. Yeah - it's got a lot of potential when it's strengths are focused on.
Wow, a Bassman! Who would have thought!
Interesting and helpful video
I am happy to read that! Glad to help 😁🤘🏻🤘🏻
Nice review! I've had this pedal while, and left it to one side as it does not have that sound I am looking for...saying that, a great idea. Just plugged this back in, sounds great now.
NICE!!! That's what this video is all about! Glad to help another DS1 get back to life!
The Boss Overdrive/Distortion is a very underrated pedal also. I use it the exact same way you use the DS-1. I actually use it like a volume pedal or boost.
Like a man!! Definitely an under appreciated pedal!
Thanks man! Great vid. Nice chops... I have one on my shelf and wanna get it back out! Cheers mate.
Glad you enjoyed the video!! Let me know how that turns out for you!! Hope you find some new love for this pedal now!
I’ve also seen some people on here stick a Boss GE-7 after the DS-1 and further shape the tone so that it sounds closer to an actual amplifier without actually needing an amplifier. Granted, with a 7 band EQ like on the GE-7 you could probably get lost trying to find the right tone due to all the possible tones you can achieve just by moving the sliders around, but I really enjoy it as it gives you the ability to shape your tone much better than even a lot of amplifiers.
That's an awesome idea as well... the amount of things that can be done it's literally endless!!
I recently purchased that orange Boss Distortion pedal and so far, I like it very much and I see no reason to return it. Then again, I'm using an Ampeg bass amp trading between clean and distortion.
That's an interesting setup!!
I love mine! I sometimes need to put a preamp pedal in front of it to choke the signal a bit on guitrs with hot pickups.
I recently discovered that it can also saw if you dime everything.
It’s a killer little pedal! Haven’t tried that pre amp before de DS1 but it sounds interesting…
@@PatPosse Well, I always loved the DS1 on my Filtertron guitar, but it sounded horrible on my Riffian guitar. A little birdie told me to make sure that the signal going into the DS 1 was low... well, rolling the volume down on the guitar killed the dynamics. Enter the preamp... worked like a charm. I keep it for such situations. IMO, everyone should have one. Mine is a Voodoo Labs Giggity, but there are many options. An EQ would probably also work great for this.
That’s cool! Funny how everyone’s got a trick up their sleeve for this bad boy!
Yeah this was my first non-cheapo/multi-fx pedal I got in high school and I definitely had to toggle it off when I wasn’t playing on the distorted channel of my amp cause it was just ugly distortion without an amp’s distortion.
Oh yeah! It needs to push an already distorted amp, otherwise it sounds like crapola
Have one and love it...
Like a Man! 🤘🏻
@@PatPosse Great playing and advice, thanks man 👊
My pleasure bud! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Dude! Thank you. Sooooo many wannabe-Slashes put this pedal in front of a clean Fender amp, in hopes of sounding like they’ve got balls. To make matters even WORSE, they dime the volume and scare away the whatever audience that came to their show.
This pedal is very special in how it treats a crunchy amp: it’s not like a Tubescreamer, nor is it a transparent overdrive. I found that you could get some Viking metal sounds if you zero the distortion and use it to boost a fully driven amp.
Hahaha yup!!
Very informative Pat! Really helpful information, people need to know this stuff so they can use this pedal for it's intended purpose, good job man!
