MGR/Tim Heath « Boss DS-1 Distortion »
Published on 03/23/04 at 15:00Bought my DS-1 from Vine Music Evesham. I was looking for a quality distortion, which did not destroy the natural harmonics of my playing. I paid £50.00 for my unit.
To be completely honest i cannot fault this unit. It provides more than adequate clean cut distortion while the versatile tone switch allows you to either increase or decrease the weight of sound. I play punk, grunge and metal and i find this little unit really does it all. I use my DS-1 with an Ibanez DTX120 Destroyer through a Marshal G-30R CD. I set the tone switch to either the eleven or the 12 oclock position while setting the level and distortion to the max positions. With the amp up high you stomp on that DS-1 and the sound is pure naypalm-its the best!
There is absolutely no faults at all with this baby.
The construction and quality is typical of Boss. The unit is strong, nicely finnished, and you can bounce them off a brick wall and they will still work.
The DS-1 is one hell of a quality distortion, which should suit most punk, grunge and metal heads. Great for begginers or pros alike. Its affordable, durable and will last forever. If i lost mine i would be out to buy another the next day-cant do without it!
