distortion.


UTILIZATION

configuration very simple, made for those who love the simplicity and efficiency (for me the two are very often linked to aillor :))
One-tone (high possibilty finally for me not higher than noon if c is too loud, but it&#39;s not serious below was already a wide range of variation)

A volume-

A gain-

manual entertaining 5 minutes :) Sev example configurations, friendly,
but I prefer to look good personal sound that I agree with my ears :)

the sound is easy to find, but as I&#39;ve said the tone is quite sensitive which is owl somewhere else, but very quickly finds her c is on.

regarding the design of the pedal, c is the sound is not soucis.c boss c is known :)


SOUND QUALITY

then c is for me its one of the best that I&#39;ve heard yet.
j also have a blackstar ht drive (lamp) jy but come back after.
I&#39;d already previously purchased this pedal then sold live because I had tried a fender frontman amp and a transistor I found a file ...
then I pay a fender hot rod deluxe (lamp) and I tried again that of a buddy on my amp and there have anything!
zero at the top!
So you will definitely understand the it is a terrible amp but not a lamp transistor too harsh and not beaucoupe possibility of ringing correcement.
but on a lamp, c is clearly beautiful, warm, clear grain has terrible marshall.
j have tested some pedals before that, and more expensive! (I&#39;m a little but ruin the good times to compare not have much choice) and finally trying in comparing where c is the one I prefer and c is the least expensive c .. like what is not always the price says it all, in any case there are exceptions and that there is a ...
I have always look for a distortion that could look like a marshall its because I love the clean but my fender at the disto I love marshall sound, I&#39;ve tried a pedal but it&#39;s frankly this one that s close the most and do the most natural.
j also have a blackstar ht drive so well and seriously they sound very similar, just that the blackstar has cut its heat lamp over the presence and not the small side fuzz, but the grain is very similar.
j uses the blackstar to pieces a little more punchy nag is going to say, and I want to give more presence ...
and solos rendering is better, but the ds-1 is doing well a little more time I maigrellette.des associates for solos it gives a good offense.
I play mostly rock and punk rock of the time, and the ds-1 is clearly exeptional side is not too clean at the same temperature not vague either, not modern c I c is what I wanted but at the same temperature I do not think ca super veillo she heat unlike what I have ever heard, and the grain ... I frankly find exeptional c rock is a wish, and I find that rather polyvalante what we may say also, you can play the nirvna, ac / dc, white stripe (when not using his big muff), punk ... all kinds of style Californian dirtier, even bluesy stuff, and hendrix .. . and j on ...
Now for the most Bourrain metallica style and c is on company need something a little beefier c is not too in its class, but n is not ridiculous all the same.
not honestly after a few years of guitar and testing of any kind, I can say that c is a very good pedal to an amp lamp! well I said.
recess and it depends on a lot of gear used.
but I have three guitar, fender telecaster us (customized with a double bridge pickup), a junior sg, gibson lespaul and with three guitar it works just as well :)
I do not put 10 because faudrais have tried all distos market, and I do not think that will happen one day ca m :)

OVERALL OPINION

I used two years ago.

the +:
sound!, personality, dynamics, heat.
polyvalance.
symplicité.
price (50euro nine).
(The largest is played with c is not for nothing!)

-the:
the tone past noon, c is not beautiful, screaming fuzz has died ca.

I would do this choice, yes, that seem "made in japan" sounds better with time, do not know never tried it, just saw on youtube and the extremely small difference paraissais me ...
good ca become difficult to find, such as amplifiers of time on that it sounds better but here, I think that even if the components are generally worse than that time, it has all the same good things for the price offered now. ..
if any person make mods above, why not have to see what it gives in real life, if I have the secondhand one day ... but not on youtube toujour easy to make a correct opinion ...

I also wanted to say that I&#39;ve read a lot of bad about him, good tastes and colors ...
but I think some people are much sérumen in the ears :) (wash them! finally I know not what, say that it is a shit c is frankly no matter what, when or pti on a transistor amp then yes I am in agreement :)
and if you really do not like the sound of marshall and that you&#39;re a die-hard metalheads ...
