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

Of distortion pedals: tone / dist / vol
Simple and effective!

UTILIZATION

Getting started very easy, it is known as 1 / 4 H is hard!
It is easy, you soon realize the role of each of the three knob! in addition to the record gives first settings for boats closer to certain musical styles. (Having said that it is easily adjusted without notice .. they are only indications)

SOUND QUALITY

Simple and effective! we push model flight they put a tone and dist 13h a 11h ca slap to death! It ROCK'Roll (Note that it is not classical sounds of the big modern sound of true c'es DISTORTION!)
we get a good range of sounds from rock crunch to the right couillut through the british punk, you can have more metal sound, but C fuzz, ca drooling, in short it's not what is asked.
If one understands the world of the pedals and that one does not seek to assign the tasks it can not do, we are satisfied!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for one day but since my house tjr repeated in the store or when I try guitars ... it suits me and satisfy me completely, I tried .. oulaaaaaa! of tones before, I have a multi effects very busy so this time I did finalemet simple.
Very good value qual / price c'tait if I would do a remake!

Needless to say it again

SOUND QUALITY

So I bass player, I just 30 occasions, and knowing that this is one myth pedals, I bought it and told me that if c'tait rotten, I could still scratch my refourger of a roommate or a 40 on ebay (gnark gnark gnark).
Purchase therefore continued shopping in town, wondering what the worth of a low-famous DS-1. It finally runs short of impatience (we argue a bit with his girlfriend by the way), we go home, we leave her finest cables, there a 9v crazy, you turn the amp, heat is allowed 5 minutes ...

Premiere note: WOUAW!
Deuxime note: re-WOUAW
little riff: HIS MOTHER!

Small adjustments: ouafti! (For non ligeois: Hula!)

I do not include a review "breath", bah: Marshall Basstate 150 + Fender Precision Fender 51 California Cable rissue + = so little breath that it is pointless to talk about. A tad it's true, but set the button "noise" (well, distortion) has no substance, has no more breath.
I tested it in all directions: with wha (before, in the pdalier APRS), with the Big muff (like before, APRS APRS-worth more if its the big muff Inrush is horrible).
Effect in the loop and outside. All knobs thoroughly, all to a minimum and a max config possible: this pedal comes out full of his diffrent. Not to mention the possibility supplmentaire offered by the gain of your amp and DIFFERENT SETTING.
Finally, one is a distortion, but it really means to change the color.

A, sounds like my PB Beezer Butler of Black Sabbath!

9 good for me (taiwan model)

OVERALL OPINION

I for one week, I love dja.
For the bass player I am, it has the advantage not to eat the bass and put mdium beautiful.

She made a quick tour of the couple Deville Fender / Fender Start my roommate, has also killed, but a bit short test (15 minutes) to get a true opinion.
But I know that it dja eyeing since he tried this morning.

I would do is a choice? to 30, you think!

This is the legendary DS-1, used by Kurt Cobain, the pedals Distortion has 3 knobs: Tone, Level and Distortion.

So simple to use, but since everything is subtle nanmoins analog. In terms of food there two possibilities: A universal adapter 9V or 9V battery good old enough to be on aprciable scne because the adapter produces interference, which may be detrimental to its in gnral. To the battery is easy to trs ACCS, just dvisser the small black button.

So there is nothing to say on the appearance of the product, the BOSS is reliable and works well.

Come on, you plug a jack and see what it gives ...

UTILIZATION

In terms of use, I would say it's a sound that offers PDAL INTERESTED in terms Satur but will put off making a few.

Indeed, the DS-1 provides a plutt "Vintage" in the sense that it's a bit fat, a drooling and it's hot. So, for my part I am happy because it is exactly the kind of saturation I DSIR but attention to other surprises. Any fawn it is better to try before you buy any hardware. Besides this purpose, I suggest you Youtube, you type the name of pedals and you will find a vidoo bte is the test. Plutt is good fun but all the same focus, the config is not the guy forcment yours.

But I expected that the o pedals forward, it is in coupling with another pedals: the Tube Screamer TS 808 reissue. In fact, I play mostly blues / rock and I am a follower of the TS, but when I went solo I needed to power supplmentaire and I had the DS-ide 1. Frankly, I'm not with rglages appropriate coupling of the two provides a powerful sound, a warm vintage wish.

SOUND QUALITY

Well, for sound, I use it with an Epiphone BB King Lucille Gibson micro customizes a 490R and a Gibson Classic 57 'Plus. For the amp it is a Marshall MG100 DFX.
For rglages, I am clear about his amp with:
Bass = 12
Mid = 1:30 p.m.
Treb = 2:30 p.m.
Gain = 1:30 p.m.

For the pedals, I put the tone from 9am to 11am, 12am and the level distortion between 14h and 16h.

J'obtient saturated sound really warm and powerful but also "filthy" is also this little dirty ct gives it its personality. Short to love.

OVERALL OPINION

I just to have it before I had a DS-2 Turbo distortion n'tais and I really do not sound excited, too "compressquot; I got, while the DS- one has really captured, in addition to playing the Rock Nirvana, Silverchair, etc. ... it's really at the top. In short, as well as guilt only with TS 808 or a Small Clone, this p dale is really INTERESTED and more it is not CHRE.

I can not say that I advice the pedals because I am partisans of the "Try before you buy". So you listen and then make your own opignon, but I will tell all of the same we must also rely on their instinctive, it must be bold To create new soundscapes.

Ah! My distortion pedals before bonnne who do not leave me for our fifteen years together ...
Always ready-when the need arises ...
To be more seriousness, I think I can pass on the little critter CHARACTERISTICS ...

I like that a little less chti any lack of possibilitée ADJUSTMENT

I do not know if we can beat the price compared qualitée

j I tried a metal box that I hated him because the sound is horribly by synthetic j cons have tried a 2 ds that I've liked but I have a preference for the ds1

Analog distortion pedal created in the 70's, as told below. Used by Kurt Cobain of Nirvana, among others ...
Ability to create a lot of distortion thanks to the three knobs of the pedal: Tone, Level, Distortion.

Orange, very solid metal casing, the whole is good.

Let's use ...

UTILIZATION

Configuration generally very simple, not need the manual.
Manuel clear, but as said above, it is not needed as the pedal is easy to use.

It is partly for the sound quality ...

SOUND QUALITY

A big fat greasy distortion for amateur grunge.
I use this pedal with a Fender amp and a Squier Harley Benton 20 Watts.

WARNING / \: For maximum effect, it is recommended to use an amp good enough. The mine was not suitable, I was quite disappointed with the sound of the pedal, but my having tried it on a Marshall and it sends the thunder god. : D

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about a me.
Pedal efficient, not too light, not too heavy, metal box very strong.
Money very interresting because I got to 39 € promotion.
With experience, I hesitate between the latter is the Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion, after it according to taste.

I skip the description

UTILIZATION

The manual is nothing:

SOUND QUALITY

I was looking for a type of sound prcis based on the distortion of my Attax 100, I told him the Deputy DS1, to compress and make a little more edge to the sound of the amp.
I spent time the rule but I! the DS1 will be the basis for the research that I
My Settings:
TONE: 1H
LEVEL: 12H
DISTO: 2H

OVERALL OPINION

The DS1 is not as versatile as other pedals I tried a TS9, a Maxon, RAT and I prefer the DS1, I like that sound a bit cold warmed by the lamps, the attack is precise, every note comes off well in the gaming agreement.
The quality of the amp has a lot to.
Finally I would say it's a legend, as a guitarist I admire bcp uses, and for the price, you can not go cot

It's a distortion pedal. I think it's analog, I think ... 1 volume knob and a tone, a distortion, it's good we follow?

UTILIZATION

Bin with 3 buttons is hard to get lost but we still discovered every day. so we set the volume to be too much difference with the original (in general) is selected the amount of distortion and then the tone that attention is very sensitive to the amp settings.

SOUND QUALITY

It's a great pedal neutral. good point, she respect your amp and your guitar. the wrong point, y 'has to be not just happy because it is neutral. But it responds very well, but as I said before it is very sensitive to the settings of the amp even, too. I put such a treble, go 6 on my amp, the sound will be sharp and direct the big downside to this pedal is well on the acute selling fast but good god created the tone button is for use it, but you can find patterns on the internet to solve this problem so cpi

OVERALL OPINION

49E New .... all is said after the worst you can always use it to decorate the room, with its orange color it will add much to the atmosphere

It is a distortion, not point.Technologie analog editing PC (why do anyway?) Audio connectors non rackable.Bref chichi.incassable no (or only with a lot of will)

UTILIZATION

3 knobs: level, distortion, tonalité.facileu!
The manual, which manual? Why a manual?

SOUND QUALITY

Well, let's be clear I bought this pedal for its reputation.
And I feel that there is not one that sounds like.
After a certain level it is more distortion of the fuzz I think.
But I love him, I am not loyal to him but I will keep it.
In fact the sound quality is real is not to say, but I use this pedal sparingly, in which lightness.
Increased in level 8, or 6 disto's draft, I do not like, but we can not say whether the quality of the object (I had a behringer or there is not the same song).
Simply the sound quality is real but all its sonic palette does not suit me (as against a friend I love him metalheads)
So I put my 9

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months, I do not like go all out with the controllers but it is utile.Elle is strong, I tried other models before and I'll have others. For nothing to say the price should not deprive yourself, but let's be honest it is not an end in either (I like the MXR yellow). I plead guilty about it because I'm not a crazy distortion enormous.
A plug before wha is better.

DISTORTION PEDAL simply ..

Those who have opinions on this ngatifs pedals would do well to change their hobby.
This is a musical instrument, trs trs trsrpondant the attack, dynamic incredible.
VINTAGE RAT only comes close, but in a register just DIFFERENT.

UTILIZATION

Easy configuration: the distortion sounds good on the whole race knob, and the acute mdiums are not buried. The tone knob lets you add mdiums / acute as when we play with the neck pickup or SETTING THE Reduces distortion.

SOUND QUALITY

With the OD channel of my marshall is NIRVANA, instantaneous and screaming!
I want to buy a deuxime DS1 to change it and see if we can amliorer example the output level of the pedals (on clean channel is true that a little more volume would have t welcome)

OVERALL OPINION

Of course the distortion is that of a idalie amp 3000 euros.
Too bad.
But we will not commit suicide;
is the DS1, the TAR, and I'll fuck all the rich.

Those who find this distortion trivial or neutral, it is better that you say you plutt same. Able, neutral, go live in a white hospital

Boss is ok! Analog Distortion
An input, an output!
3 pots: Tone, Level and Gain!
Generate power from a 9v battery or 9v adapter that apart t'achte <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />

What is fun is that the Boss with the electronic switch and not mcanique so it's quiet, there is no "click" of the swicth!

UTILIZATION

It is simple as a chicken <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_lol.gif" alt="" />
Choose the gain level, the tone and balance the volume effect / clean! .... that's all.

SOUND QUALITY

It is a distortion trs simpa! Blues / rock n 'roll at the Hard Rock! For his mtal dpanne: P!

OVERALL OPINION

Ah it's a great PDAL for rock or blues! There is nothing to say against it! food has no battery as it! You just dplugger the son of the input jack.
It is an essential in my opinion.

Rock on what? <img class="smiley" src="https://fr.audiofanzine.com/images/audiofanzine/interface/smileys/icon_wink.gif" alt="" />

Well, hey there! it's a big slap when one listens to a pedal by modified MSM! I had a Boss DS-1 that I no longer used because it was missing that little something that MSM has successfully ... MSM has sublimated this pedal and offered him unique opportunities, you find yourself spending hours to enjoy the different sounds, true madness at its ... and yet God knows I've tried all brands of gear and then I tip my hat to the work because it is a killing this pedal now! Frankly if you have a DS-1 made no hesitation to make the change quickly, you will be amazed! Besides, I'm about to send my brand new Proco Rat for editing in the Rat, and impatient to see the result!
Congratulations to MSM Worshop that deserves real recognition given the quality of the changes! It's hello audience for musicians in search of her, I'm going to tell my musician friends!

Analog pedal with 3 knobs minimalist Tone / Level / Overdrive, an inlet and an outlet and that's it!
Works with a battery or power supply with a 9V like most pedals the mark.

UTILIZATION

It is a simple distortion by making head because there are no bad setting itself.
The tone is effective on the equalizer and you can go from blues to metal very fat by varying the volume pot with the appropriate level of distortion.


SOUND QUALITY

This pedal is distinguished by its relatively balanced, it is far Syndrome "niz Bee" common on some models known mine (metal zone and co) is a distortion a little vintage evokes the sound of thrash 80's metal / early 90's.
I appreciate the fact that we are not in the sonic aggression, but rather a sense of power that provides the sound.
Detail is important: the pedal does not generate blast, even at a fairly high level of distortion, you really push the 3 knobs at the bottom to have it.
Personally I use the following config (for the metal with good low on parts of palm mute): Tone in 2 / 3, mid level and distal to race 3 / 4 (beyond the sound becomes a bit messy).

OVERALL OPINION

I own this pedal for a few years, it is robust and efficient.
I had other models (sometimes more expensive) in my equipment but the result was not as good, I think to keep this as long as DS1 can take it to the current price is an awesome deal .
