All user reviews of 5/5 for the Boss DS-1 Distortion

Tone, level, distortion, why make it complicated when it can be simple? lol I hate this Sitat. Extra!

UTILIZATION

You suspect that there is no need for manual turning three buttons, three buttons just yet bcp possibility of the small orange!

SOUND QUALITY

This pedal, I love it my little bb! but beware! we must know it sounds very different depending on the amp! it is necessary to try at all costs with the amp you use, I'm using it with a Start and a Peavey C30 and is just great. If you like distortion to a background and have a little fender transistor, not really worth the blow it will be too noisy clarity added to the fender and broken ear, but with a warm as I love them, it is perfect and I love this pedal the more expensive is that with a good set, we get to have a dynamic crystalline you bang your head against the wall so beautiful it can be not the most important, but a report. It is super versatile for my taste, only if you made the return hosmose with the rest of your gear.

OVERALL OPINION

This pedal is spectacular with its fuzz trends. I could have 40 of OCCAZ, but I would pay a high price if the opportunity had not Submitted. However, and I care, there must be the try with his own stuff as much for me, it tears with my Start and my C30, it is common to see as many bad branch on something else. I think she is worth more branch on the stroke of lamps that branch of transistor and it is even more like a blow when its hot.

PDAL of DISTO very simple! Three knobs: tone, level, distortion!

UTILIZATION

It can not be simpler, it all RULES and go! Trs quickly found its ARE! Excellent output! The manual ... you throw a quick eye and is put in the closet! important to BAC for five 3 tourn button! lol.

SOUND QUALITY

I'm a fan of this compltement pedals! You on the disto littrallement! I use it with a transition. 100 watts and even a transistor with a given! Best, it's coupled with the distortion of the amp, you made a good lead sound sympatoche, and you rgler p dale with: a tone-13h
A 12-level
Disto-thoroughly !!!!!!
Boom and we are left with the sound of Steve Vai in the song "for the love of god" (a few prs of course that is less Evous go a all-tube amp!) For solo is simply beautiful all the notes sounded divine, the sustain is superb ...
THE PDAL is for you if you'll sound a fan of Steve Vai, Joe Satriani (who uses it for over 10 years now!) And want a really for his solo beautiful! it is well worth 10!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a month, and frankly I thought I would cry THE FIRST faith that I branchcoupl with the distortion of the amp gives a sound simply amazing! (hot as word lol) I ssay the ts9dx, MT-2, the DS-2, and quite a few other but none comes close to the DS-1! and worse the report for pedals qualitc'est given qualitje would do this without really choi Sitat! gnial the pedals is just!

3 settings: acute, level, distortion. 1 input 1 output jack. For the price you can not ask for more. (A low level would have been perfect)

UTILIZATION

Very easy to adjust. I did not have a manual.

SOUND QUALITY

A grain of some well blusy the Vai / Satch as they use both.
If you do not have a marshall tube like me, I find that the sound is close enough sound and heat lamps. I use it with a JS1200 and a tsl 602, my behringer noisegate snr2000 is essential to cut the hum.

OVERALL OPINION

This is the inevitable distortion pedal, the sound goes Satriani Knopfler (Dire Straits) super easy to use. The sound is clean but you need a good noise gate to cut the hum when active.

A simple distortion, solid case trs
9v battery or power supply power supply (15)
3 knobs: tone and distortion level

UTILIZATION

One branch is turned the knob and it plays, no need for manual, very simple

SOUND QUALITY

The sound overall is not bad, it's going to the beautiful overdrive (tone between 0 and 2) the big dirty fuzz well (drive a 10, a tone 7)
can a cold with a bad amp (I play on a drive CD200R)
Boust monstrous for a good amp (I play on a Vox AD30, the fuzz pedal adjusted over a leg crunch and especially Marchall Vox AC30 sounds a hell of)
Not great for playing metal (but I play a fender tele so ...)
great for rock in general (his trs "nirvana" or "the vines"), for the drunk leg if the rule because it responds very well to the Dynamics of games

OVERALL OPINION

It is in all a good distortion trs sound palette with a huge, plus the ratio quality price is good trs

Everything has been said

UTILIZATION

Super simple, there are only 3 knobs, the adjustments are very intuitive and progessive, no complaints

SOUND QUALITY

Poibt first: the color virtually no distortion signal, +: each amp sounds differed
-: If it was not a good not great amp c
The real plus of this distortion is versatile indeed sound n 'not reaches the level of some references (Proco, tube SECAM, svex fuzz factory ...) but the sound palette is impressive if you overdrive down the tonalite , distortion, heavy metal distortion with the drive almost a background fuzz with lots of treble (note that the "fuzz" does not work with all amps, if not the orreilles farewell, but when it works, the " nirvana "(yes, it works very well to play it, its like" Breed ") a single flat, the tone is poorly calibrated, there are too many Egusi
ca makes it also very well boost by another disto dessu
So very polivalente
furthermore, it perfectly meets the dynamic game

OVERALL OPINION

it's been a year since I use it and I do not regret me acha, this pedal allows me to dramatically expand my sonic palette with the added quality boss. So I reffer this purchase without eSite (plus the price is right)

BOSS DS-1
Distortions 3 buttons (level, tone, gain)

UTILIZATION

Trs simple, one branch, it RULES, play

SOUND QUALITY

Try to have more distortion (sd1, mt2, ds2), I think it is good because it trs respects the sound of the instrument (for me, it's an Ibanez JS 100 with DiMarzio satch) . I do not understand some people describe the sound of dirty, because even with the gain a background, the sound does not bleed and is prcis, this should probably dpendre of the instrument has not sound like a Les Paul. For me the sound is warm and modern, for cons I find it lacks some sustain, that's why I'll invest in a compressor.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had one month and I am happy because trs for 59 euros, I think this gives a grain PDAL rvle and the personality of the instrument.

Everyone connate ... Small orange bote trsrpendue and easily findable everywhere. Tone / Level / Dist, nothing again: simple and effective.

UTILIZATION

Trs simple setup, may be just the fact that the Tone button types a little too easily in the acute, but hey, nothing dramatic ... In addition I like is the high, me! Manual useless.

SOUND QUALITY

L I not include the consensus reached in this dmolir pedals ... Without being the ultimate distortion, it does its job ...
The tonality wavers between 11 and 13 hours, rarely del history not to twist the ears. At bottom, the Disto is returned inside, perfect for a good solo I think. With the gain to 15 hours, we made a decent rhythm. It can also be used as overdrive, it dbrouille trs well this game!
Some say it is a grain "pass" ... May be it is their game which is commonplace? Must see to remember it's not the pedals of CRER your sound. This is fortunate to be findable everywhere for very little, so forcment should print some quite a few people who possdent ... I have no complaints.

OVERALL OPINION

Given the complexity of the pedals, two weeks are enough to tame it!
She is strong, can move the warm overdrive distortion trs much acid. I have yet to test group, but she seems to have a lot of momentum even when. Not blame him ...
I have owns and test a lot of overdrive and distos, and she is doing pretty good early, just to rock.
It is not super expensive, some say it's already too ... They can always go to the cot of Danelectro.
I also compared with the DS-2 with a buddy to me prt ... Well watch out, there's a gap between the two! Better to test them, because the sound has honestly see anything. The DS-1 is much more acid inside and returned her sister. I prfre us for a. .. The other gives me the impression of a duck enrhumm.
For now I use it a lot as a main distortion to replace my Shredmaster blowing much, and for more gain. If she jumps, I Rasht a very sr.

Analog distortion all that is classic
avoid repetition ....
a jack in / out
vol-tone-in boss driveboitier robust RAS

UTILIZATION

Configure this pedal is very simple
be a sound is easy when you know his (her) scraper (s) and his (its) amp (s)
the manual is clear
some say it is useless, I would say that many adjustments provided inside help to understand how the pots interact with each other ....

SOUND QUALITY

The distortion is very effective
I would not say it's hot or cold
grain tight I like a lot
there are plenty of headroom
Some would say it is noisy I can not find personal
(And at worst ca be easily corrected for cheap)
color distortion is the tone knob (logic):

between 0 and 3 were very low and mediums which can leave the crunch / distortion very bluesy / rock (depending on gain)
between 3-5 it starts to rise in the treble and this has the effect of increasing the gain
above 5, the higher up it is more acute and the more it pulls on the fuzz
obviously much too acute tendency to have "cool" sound

In any case, the distortion is very responsive to the game and has a very dynamic will enjoy (do not get on your high horse I know this is not the lamps ...)

with my two guitars and my amp it makes a very light very well.
it does not mean that it will make any such stuff ...

OVERALL OPINION

Very happy with my investment but that does not necessarily please everyone.
I recommend trying it before buying (of course) and especially, if possible, with his stuff ...
I really like the grain and it is what I expect from a distortion pedal.
it fits perfectly in my set, it will not be the case for everyone. Try it if you plan to buy a distortion and compare with other

Analog distortion pedal
What classic -input/output
-Settings: volume, tone, distortion
-Metal box, very sturdy

UTILIZATION

Adjust the pedal is so simple intuitive view the manual is almost certainly clear superflu.Néanmoins there are examples of régages pourons inside that inspire you to create your own sound.

SOUND QUALITY

I have a guitar and an amp ibanez ibanez rg170dx tb15r.Si you will see the reviews on these products you will understand that my sound is pouri.Puis one day I decided to buy a distortion pedal history to improve everything. I was advised that ds-1.
Frankly, it was a miracle sonore.La distortion tone is powerful and can qualify the all that versatility: a sound that ranges from ac / dc to van halen in Passan by pantera.
We play just about everything with this pedal, punk grunge metal, even using a slight crunch to play rock and roll (watch for the results vary by the rest of the stuff, hope pa sound like Chuck Berry with an ESP for example, let's face)

OVERALL OPINION

This pedal is amazing! great sound for its price (about 60 euro), a surprising versatility, a miracle I tell you!
This is a true reference that I recommend to all the world when those who think that such quality can exist on a pedal of this price I highly recommend them to test it, you might be surprised ...

-Distortion.
-Analog.
-No conection PC or MAC

-ON/OFF The pedals
Hyper-box sound.

UTILIZATION

Child-configuration: 3> button dozens of sounds
10minute-testing quietly and we already control, I let you guess which is in fact its been years when we have this pedal.
Hand-well thought out, with clear tips.

SOUND QUALITY

Nikel-distortion from heavy rock to jazz.
Calita-good, however a small gap in the tone that has a level mole and too vague, wonderful for aggressive distortion and clear (as I do).
-For electric guitar, a Cort low end this pedal definitely boost your sound like no one else does!
-The effect of the distortion is really impeccable even at full power it works well!

OVERALL OPINION

-1 Weeks, I still cry to have received this wonderful! I hate to know the handle over time!
-Is that I love about this pedal it is appearance and handling!
the case is that if solique impérssion to have a brick in hand (uen wonderful brick ^ ^) on the foot control is super easy. although the level using the pedal to change or just let the sound of the amp.
"I consider the full range of distortion, and I decided after two months of choice.
- I bought 60 euro (pedal + adapter + shipping) seri 60euro for her I would be willing to pay the double.Si's little you decide Curt bath (nirvana) used it for years.
1week-depusi I'm in heaven distortion DNAS which I often voi kurt under air smell a teen spirit.Je do not regret to have to buy.

- Analog Distortion
- Connectivity simple => Input / Output + 9V
- Three knobs => Volume / Tone / Disto
- Metal housing: you can type ^ ^

UTILIZATION

- Configuration is very simple, very clear manual but does absolutely nothing
- Editing sounds is done in 5 minutes chrono

SOUND QUALITY

With this pedal you can play many things to say everything because you have a nice presence of distortion. Set to the minimum overdrive gives a rather violent and set all the fuzz is the limit.
Used in booster (with a good Big Muff fuzz type) it works wonders!
Small black dot, the tone knob from the acute very quickly.

It is a very versatile distortion and widely used (and it is no accident) and it does not cost that expensive!

I put 9 because of the tone knob but I'm tough enough.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a year and I can not do without.
What I like + => The versatility and sound! ^ ^

What I like least => It should be noted the small feature of the Tone knob (which we can not put BEYOND 14/15h if we take his ears) but it's nothing serious .

I try a lot of models before this one and the only one who love me truly enjoyed because of its versatility and sound!

The price / quality ratio is excellent, for about € 50, you can buy the best (for me) of Distortion.

With the experience I remake this choice because I can not play without my little orange pedal underfoot!

Conventional analog distortion pedal, input, output, power, volume, tone and distortion, classic what!

UTILIZATION

This pedal could not be simpler to use, the format boss being very well known, has resumed its assistance to find and it's solid!

SOUND QUALITY

To be clear, I use it with a bass, I found the bass overdrive too shy, so I made the leap up the distortion. Well I'm not on it, has sent what it takes! The only problem encountered (but that is the micro of my single coils Jazzbass), 2 hours pass on the knob of distortion, a breath can be a villain but nothing!
I use a background distortion and tone neutral, sounds terrible for a rhythmic chordal bass, very cool for free at the time of the guitar solos!

OVERALL OPINION

Considering the price, it's a good pedal but it does not revolutionize the genre, what an honest MODEL!
