UTILIZATION
- My style is oriented 80's heavy
- No need to use manual
- All used in a lamp configuration (preamp. + + power amp speakers)
SOUND QUALITY
The most important point, I was looking for a distortion-oriented hard / heavy and I found it. Associated with a Boss CS-3 I can optenir good disto big round pressise also the rest of the other effects are all equally important reverb, delay ... in order to make his own sound.
OVERALL OPINION

I would do without this choice problem.

<p class="bbcode-cite"> Quote: <span>DS-1 Distortion
This is Truly a classic distortion pedal. It Produces a distortion sound with a hard edge and IS Known to Have a very low noise level Compared to Other distortion pedals. Many people swear That the older "Made in Japan" models sounds better Than the newer "Made in Taiwan" models. The DS-1 over the years HAS Been Used by a lot of great guitar players. Steve Vai and Joe Satriani are Two players Who has voiced praise over this pedal Their. The DS-1 est aussi Among a favorite modifiers. Keeley, Analogman and Provide Their Own Stinkfoot all versions of this distortion Among icon makers.
Version differences
The design of the DS-1 WAS Somewhat changed around 1994. That WAS the hand changes the Toshiba TA7136AP opamp WAS Replaced with the Mitsubishi M5223AL. The DS-1 HAS gone aussi Through a number of cosmetical exchange. The Earliest Version Had a clear switch, silver thumb screw and the D in DS-1 Directly Placed underneat the t in Distortion. The D in DS-1 soon ended up in i Under the Distortion Where It Remains today.
Boss Guitar Effects Guide Book vol.11 (1995):
THE DS-1 Provides a harder distortion effect for guitar and keyboard sounds.lnstead of toneless, fuzzy distortion, the DS-1 faithfully all the subtle nuances reproducer quiet to screaming loud. The onboard Tone Control allow you to tailor the sound to your liking overalls.
