SOUND QUALITY

The DS-2 is actually a modified DS-1 Boss, long before the time of keeley and other Monte Allums.
Mode 1 is a DS-1, however, the output level and tone circuit have been revised, because the pedal has slightly more volume, the tone is more exploitable than a DS-1 and the beach distortion is a little wider, to note that the DS-2 also responds much better volume knob on the guitar, and this is a highlight for me of this pedal.
Mode 2 is the principal element, it is actually a switch that can boost medium (controllable via footswitch), very dug on the DS-1, and thus to obtain a range of all additional sounds really interesting.
This shows that the DS-2 is actually much more complex than a DS-1, this is what probably explains his lack of success with many guitarists, not knowing very well make a guitar sound and therefore more comfortable with the pedals to the settings and options more basic.

OVERALL OPINION

It gives me a very good pedal, DS-1 is a myth but the DS-2 is a real success if viewed for what it is namely a modified DS-1 via a switch and some components such as today would do some brands of pedals shops or modification of effects.

We must therefore spend time there, the settings may be subtle but it's really a very good distortion pedal that allows all records to play blues-rock (Rory Gallagher eg mode 2 and drive light) very Rock ( Nirvana obviously seen the reserve of distortion and output level).

The Japanese versions are very rare, but the difference between-MIJ and MIT's like the DS-1 very light.

Mine is a Japanese, and I think I can screw it to the pedalboard!
