MGR/hendrix rules « Boss DS1 Distortion »
Published on 01/12/04 at 15:00This is the first stand alone stomp box style effect I have ever purcased. I have a Digitech rp50, but after reding heaps of reviews and seeing this pedal advertised I had to go out and try it. I went down to my local guitar shop and tryed it out. I loved it. I tryed lodes of other pedals whilst there but this but was by far my favourite. The pedal was about $180(australian) but I got a discount because it is the shop where i got lessons.
I love this units drive, tone and overall sound. When I use the pedal along with my digitech rp50 whilst using flange, chorus,wah etc I get some amazingly strange and brilliant sounds. It is a very versitile pedal that can give me any distorted sound I want from hendrix to Kurt Kobain, along with many other sounds. The gain can come as loud and really crunchy to soft and toney(?).It is small and compact and the orange colour makes it look hella cool.
I have no dislikes about this pedal exept that whenever I go into my room I have to pick up my guitar and jam with the pedal because it kicks so much ass.
The pedal is incredibly strong and well built, and looks great. Its made by boss so its not going to break any time soon. I havent had it for very long so it looks brand new, although it probly will in ten years.
I think this pedal is brilliant. I have no regrets about bying it. If I lost it i'd buy a new one. This pedal is great for sitting at home practicing or jamming with a band or on stage. Go try it out now- no buy it now.
