Overdrive
Distortion
Booster

UTILIZATION

Simple configuration, two switches in addition to the original config of DS1.
The 2 switches add a palette of sound incredible. This is simple but we still have some time to shop around.

The first switch 3 positions: germanium boost and LED
The second switch can change the gain level (do not give the same result as the first position switch)

SOUND QUALITY

Nothing much to see and in addition to improved sound, there is virtually no wind, we found just a little when you push the pedal block.
Germanium on the position, there are sounds that range from vintage overdrive to heavy distortion in the level of earnings.
The position clean boost (while I love this), which is maybe not as clean as a function of gain, can be cruncher for a tube amp for great blues sound or even to go much further if the amp crunch already.
LED position allows for a lot of power.

OVERALL OPINION

I do not use it for a very long time but I'm a big fan and I am far from having come full circle. In addition it will save me some room on my pedalboard since it acts as an OD and distortion boost, and it does great.
With this mod you go with a correct minor defects to a great pedal with multiple functions. You can really go from blues to hard rock.
In the end I put 9 because I do not know if the pedal is perfect is when a question of taste and repertory. If I only take my case it really is not far from perfection to the point that I do understand that bosses do not like that at the origin, where at least an option.

On top of that the guys at MSM are adorable, it's a real pleasure to send the pedals.
