MGR/Who Cares « Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal »
Published on 04/05/04 at 15:00I bought it from a local music store for $40. I wanted a distortion pedal that didn't sound like garbage.
I knew this pedal was a good one, that's why I bought it. I have seen a couple reviews by morons who I bet can't play guitar and/or just started playing guitar to be cool and have a little junky Ibanez guitar. Some people who have reviewed this pedal said it was bad, but it isn't, those people probably think it is a heavey metal pedal and turned all the knobs to max because they don't know what they are doing. The ds-1 is the best distortion pedal, once you get your settings, and yes it does only sound bad with everything on max, but only beginners or those cool "punk" guitar players turn everything to max because they don't know how to play guitar. Ds-1 is simple, three knobs, tone, volume and distortion. It is a good distortion pedal that doesn't get so heavey it covers up you guitar playing.
Nothing bad about the ds-1, I have the ds-2 also, I like the ds-1 better, it sounds a lot better for solos.
Boss makes the best pedals, they are built to last and most sound great. Just don't turn everything to max, it sounds bad like that.
The ds-1 is a great pedal for people who have been playing guitar for a while and know what they are doing and don't need some heavey metal pedal that distorts everything and covers up their playing.
