    how to make a $30 pedal sound like a $250 pedal using a $1200 modeling amp pedal. Fucking love it.

      You can also use another pedal :p or even a 200 dollar valve king to get the same results. We used my buddies fender chorus which is a very cheap 1×12 combo amp. Works the same. Definitely doesn't have to be expensive

    The ds1 is what you hear on nirvana in utero etc,,,deaths debut " scream bloody gore". And also its on napalm death " from enslavement,,,,," very versatile pedal from one extreme to another,,,if you boost around the 1k and up with a notch eq you start to bring in the hm2 sound

    The thing you have to understand about the DS1 is it’s a dinosaur of a circuit. These days most guitars especially for metal players come with high output pups. High output pups really weren’t a thing back in 70s when it was designed, so it’s not really designed for what you are trying to do with it. Believe it or not DS1 actually inspired a change in methodology for me. With high output pups you end up adding a bunch of compression to your signal right out of the gate before it even hits your pedalboard or preamp and you lose some range and dynamics. Basically you are clipping out your signal a bit straight out of your output jack. Now you could always add that compression in later with your dirt boxes and amplifier but it’s not as easy to get rid of it once it’s already there. It’s a good way to stand out from the high output humbuckers, into tubescreamer, into vintage 30’s crowd. Hell one of my favorite setups, is my Jazzmaster, through my pedalboard, into a twin reverb pushed to the verge of breakup. It’s a rig so counterintuitive to the standard issue metal recipe that you wouldn’t think it would actually work but it does and amazingly. I have far more dynamics, and my stacked drives are my high gain work horses when I need them.

      Absolutely, though I still love using this thing as a boost through a dirty channel ;)
