Best Distortion Pedal for $50
I love my DS-1, but I'm not really a guitar player, I just play one in the studio sometimes. DS-1 and a TS-9 (that's the one with the HOT switch, right?) are pretty much my go to pedals for everything.kdarr wrote:you know... i might be the only guy on earth who actually thinks that the Boss DS-1 sounds pretty good.
you just can't turn the tone knob up past 12:00... not too much gain... great straight-ahead rock sound.
plus, hey, it's orange. and you can find them fuckin' ANYWHERE.

Wait...I have a Rat too. That's neat if you need swoopy stuff that won't sound all fretty in the low end. Low E slides and even octaves down there for that indie thing. Foo Fighters swoops...does that make sense? I don't think that it's all purpose though, but what is?

i can second the DS-1 and the tan (made in Kansas) Ross Distortion, which is really more of a nice crunchy overdrive IMO.
my DS-1 isn't so great through a toppy amp like a Twin, but sounds good through a blackface Princeton or a Valve Junior...and i totally agree about not putting the tone knob past noon!

Wow. Those sound samples are interesting. Really creamy sounding to punchy bassy sound and some interesting overdrive.Marlowe wrote:http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/ ... c=3SOSWXXA

I bet that that is the exact same pedal as the DOD Juice Box. Which is also a superb OD/boost, in my opinion.Marlowe wrote:http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/ ... c=3SOSWXXA
