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.

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!

Analogue distortion pedals

UTILIZATION

Using ultra simple. Nothing to say.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is especially trs! In my view, contrary to what is said is not a PDAL go anywhere or do. a range from rock to grunge not Fuzz trs exploitable. Ds that Exceeds the first shots of Tonnal sound is immediately screaming. It must therefore be coupled with other effects such as an equalizer and a comprsseur. however it does not gnre bcp of breath.
For my part, I changed it in a Schma I can send. For 15 components and 1:30 mounting bcp has changed things.
I put 4 because the original is not trrible.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 years, I have a MT-2 for heavier sounds but it does happen to use it for Rock sounds because DS-1 is sometimes too dgueu.
Overall, if it is found to be 30 and okaz to make changes, was worth it. If not, better to move towards a model that offers cleaner sound and warm. In today's market, the choices abound.

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!

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

UTILIZATION

Such

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 ...

UTILIZATION

The configuration is simple? Uh ... yes! trs trs! it pedals with a few buttons!
Easy to use, forcment!
Manuel? who is this manual? : D

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are simple and Varis ... but it is not a pdalier l. .. I also use a multi-purpose AX3000 but sometimes I show my little boss because his boss .... Oh, the Boss's ...
With what instrument I use it? An accordion!: D Well no, Obviously a guitar ... it's a guitar pedals ... forcment then I use it with a guitar ... Finally, good short ...
I love it all ... diffrent boss distortion distortion korg ... : S

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for fifteen years ...
His most: its sound!
the least: his sound sometimes!
Report quality nickel prices, c'tait a gift!

C is not very complicated

I put nine as they might have to tread a little to the settings but I quibble

UTILIZATION

Ultraaaaaaaaaaaaa simpleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you plug the jack into the guitar input and one branch in another jack and the amplifier output

SOUND QUALITY

Here we are this pedal can do everything from blues to rock and even a little metal
(Mine is changing and I may simply have his death) this pedal I was advised by my proff of scratches and frankly I'm disappointed I work a lot for the vai satriani petrucci and so it is for

I will if you could 20

OVERALL OPINION

I used the last one and a half years that I adore the sound
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

This design is robust and pedals!
It works battery (9V) or AC power. The small problem is that if you branch of industry, use the adapter at Boss if there are enough teachers noise.
For the rest there are three rglages:
- Tone: Set your stamp
- Level: Adjust your level of gain
- Distortion: Turn a greater or lesser distortion

UTILIZATION

The PDAL is mainly used for small rock riffs or solos.
The rglages are very easy and there is no need to consult the manual to find its sound!
on the other hand I would say what may be lacking a bit of saturation. Metals, look plutt the distortion mga boss!

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is trs correct!
Say no more!

OVERALL OPINION

I have for some months and I am satisfied dja trs!
It's a good value for PDAL trs qualitprix that offers a robust and sound worthy of the other pedals of the same type!
I would do without hsiter this choice, and I advise all! (Except in mtaleux!)

See below

UTILIZATION

The configuration of the pedals, you turn the knobs bah (except may be the tone ) And you find your sound.
The manual is very basic, there are a few examples of configuration, but not too good gnial I find it crazy and then the manual!

SOUND QUALITY

Well actually I like the bin and dtest the pedals! I like its "big" rock out what can and cot fuzz and a little dirty when I push the dist and the tone (how horrible the tone) but it is so commonplace, no personality and it does its job that's all. Another thing, the Tone knob of a really crap ingrable APRS 9am.
I think this boss is suitable for people looking for a basic distortion and good quality without seeking the stamp of a Maxon or Fulltone (I know it's not the same price).

OVERALL OPINION

I have a few days (I have to go crawling to my dealer), I have tried many in this price range and for me it is one of the best but not for me. The report qualitprix is ​​excellent.
