I remember In 2005 I got my first guitar and a pedal.. I wanted to sound like Kurt so I begged for the DS-2 and for Christmas I got.. The DS-1 as my first pedal lol.. next Christmas I begged and begged for the DS-2… and what did I get in my gift? The OS-2 ???????? oh man I was so bummed. Never did end up getting the DS-2 still to this day.
Now seeing this video I’m getting another DS-1 AND DS-2!! ????. I felt so un satisfied with the DS-1 back then but mostly just cause I really wanted that DS-2.
Diaz, Juan was my best friend in high school.
Way prefer the DS-1 to the BD-2. Everyone is always talking about the BD-2 and I absolutely despise it. Rough sounding with a nasty sizzle. I’d take this over it any day.
Will it chug?
Are you using audio tapper pots in your guitars?
how are you procesing that thing to sound like that?
Solid state its eh. But a tube amp okay now we’re talking. Just got to know how to use your gear.
Man that sounds sweet
I'm on my 2nd one,hated the 1st one because I didn't know how to stack it or use the right pickups (20yrs l8tr) right pickups more tone knowledge and it's a staple on my main board definitely a must have for a additional dirt tone
all I need is a Strat, boss ds-1, and a fender hot rod deluxe
I still have my original one from the 80s. That and the Pro Co Rat are my all time favorites.
You have a Les Paul in your hands. You have a old Marshall behind you. Beside a guitar cable, and the willingness to turn the knobs up to eleven, what else could you possibly need?
Love these on acoustic guitar too. Gets a sort of hollow body lead tone, great way to make the lead acoustic cut.
Hated this pedal until I was older and not trying to sound like "Seattle" now I'm older into the dead I use it and love it for a boost
How rhett feels about the tube screamer is how i feel about the ds1
Yeah it has good and shit. You can turn the knob to adjust which sound you want
I have a Keeley mod DS-1 and it is permanently on my board.
I learned that it’s meant to be used with an overdriven amp. It doesn’t sound so great with a clean amp.
It's truly an amazing piece of equipment. Can take a fishman and make it Rock
I do love the tonal characteristics of DS-1. Dark sounding and gainy (if there's such a word).
Yeah, 6 of these on my board for different things ????
I found an early serial Rat pedal in a campus list and found. I asked, no one claimed it, Ian’s I got it for free. Didn’t like the tone, so I put it on EBay for $115. It was snapped up so fast. I immediately saw it relished at 3 times the price with, wait for it, the photo I took. Talk about ignorance. Should have done my homework. Lol
I used to get all of my distortion through a DS-1 playing indie/alternative rock. Great pedal!
I'm not into grunge rock, rat rock, but I did with the DS-1 and a small amp and a Sammack electric guitar. The house shoock.
A roughed upped DS-1 looks great
Ds-1 sucks, i have one for years, all other distortions I 've used sound much better, stop lying to the people
It's better as a distortion through a clean signal being boosted by an SD one
Every starting guitarist IMO, should start out with either a strat or les P with the orange slice….the DS-1
Do it any other way and you've been musically raised wrong
Much maligned, not easily replaced… it's been on and off my board since '84
The only other pedals that hold that distinction :
ProCo Rat 2
(Replacing stolen '81 'Big Box)
TS-9
MXR Distortion +
DOD 250
With those 4, you can do anything (Live board only)
When I tried playing guitar for the first time about 3 million years ago, it was the only pedal I could get. The guy at the pawn shop felt sorry for me and sold me the pedal and some homemade strat. Good times
Sorry, but it's utter crap.
Of course it doesn’t suck it’s an awesome piece of equipment, i need to get one for myself,as I’ve used other peoples but never owned my own!
i love it on bass!
This was my first guitar pedal ever in probably early 2000s, I didn’t really need it or know how to use it I just plugged it into my Roland micro cube and it sounded good. Then one day my friend plugged 18 volt power supply into it and fried it. Haven’t had one since but I’ll always love this pedal just because it was my first guitar pedal.
I’ve never heard of the DS-1 getting hate. It’s always been a top recommended pedal
I don't use mine. I have a few drive pedals that I like. Beetronics. Octonaut and Friedman. I personally like better
Hates tube screamers and likes the ds1????
