    John Frusciante hasn't used the DS1 in a long time (Californication era) and he's mostly known for using the DS2. He actually even has two of them on his board. If you want his clean sound you must get a Boss CE-1 or a clone of it because of the pre-amp in that pedal. There are some good videos on youtube explaining why that pedal is the most important piece of John's effect chain.

    I'm a huge Frusciante fan and was using the DS-1 for years. I got a DS-2 a few months ago and let me tell you man, its a life changer! Even for people who arent chasing the John tone, its a was more diverse distortion pedal. You should 110% look into getting one for a Frusciante board though man, you will not regret it!

    1 Raise the gain and the bass frequency just the right amount in order to have more sustain and body (also take down the treble)

      I have both the JH-1 and a CE-1 Pre-amp pedal. I have a Fender Amp and not a Marshall. I definitely recommend needing both the CE-1 pre-amp and a Marshall Amp or JH-1/Golden Plexi to get the dirty clean tone sound. it really depends what your end goal is or what your budget is.

    The main pedal for a Frusciante sound assuming you have a broken clean tone dialled in already is the DS2. No ifs no buts. Its that. Everything else can be got around easily, the DS2 is utterly unique

  • @Nick-qq2nq
    @Nick-qq2nq Год назад +1

    Frusc doesn’t really use the ds1 dawg. His “boosted” clean tone more so comes from the preamp in the boss ce1. For a boost like the micro amp there are really two ways you can use it…as a simple volume boost alone or after a dirt pedal. Or you can put it before a dirt pedal to increase the gain(not volume) in that dirt pedal.

    I have been using a low gain amp in a box pedal (the Joyo American Sound) as a clean boost for a while and quite like it. It gives me a three knob eq and a wide range of od sounds, from clean boost to mid gain classic rock sounds, and has the added bonus of having a very fender amp like voicing, with a knob that takes you from the high headroom silver face tones, to the retro break up of the Tweed era. If you get a chance, try this pedal. For $50, there's a lot of versatility there.

    Congrats on the purchase! I do like these videos of you going out to buy used gear. As a fellow AC15 owner however I would definitely proceed with caution if you are thinking about getting a Tubescreamer, as I found that it didn't pair well with the AC15. It's a great pedal for many amps, but it will hijack an AC15's tone and you lose all of the character and clarity. It's worth a shot, but be prepared and unashamed to return it. A Transparent OD works really well, and there are many pedals that pair well with AC15. That's my 2 cents! Love the channel!

BUT>> damn when you play a really nice Fender TUBE amp the cleans on there to me just are UNTOUCHABLE. Fender cleans are just so chimey and beautiful I just can't get that on my JCM205.

Everyone pushes the vertex but the brand irks me. The one I'm currently using is a sabbadius hot tube simulator (they do a new version called mr white). I'm really wanting a honey bee amps clean drive. IMHO it is the best boost pedal I've ever heard (can be used as an overdrive too).

    Most dirt pedals' even level is at about 10 o'clock, and cranking them beyond that gives a lot of boost, so although I'm GASing pretty hard for this pedal, I'm wondering whether buying this might be redundant? Dumb question, I know, lol. The boost is different with a dedicated pedal like this for it..? Thx for being patient, hahaha. I want an excuse to buy this. 😊

    The Boss DS2 is better for the Frusciante sound but the DS1W is also a good due to the custom mode having more mids. Will it nail the sound of RHCP? Probably not but it’s def a good way to mess with the sound. It’s more expensive than the actual DS2 but if you love the DS1 it might be good to check out
