Overdrive / Disto analog at Boss, In and Out jack input power supply, not true bypass.

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration, a volume knob, a knob for gain, an equalizer two bands (Low and High).
I never had the manual.
Editing effects could not be easier.

SOUND QUALITY

The distortion in a strong personality, it sounds oddly, more like an overdrive pushed hard but its dry and precise, the distortion is not fat; Also it has less gain than most current distos see overdrives present.
In fact I think this is because, as the DS-1, it was designed to boost the already saturated channel amps and not to sound good on a clean channel like most modern distos. She is very strong push for the sound of his gear overdrive channel upstream of an amp or pedal overdrive / distortion modern ... a bit in the manner of a TS808 but with more gain.
An interesting effect to use, I lent it to me to try and I made it if I liked her gift, I would have kept as interesting to use and experiment with different situations but I did no room on my board and not the heart to redo my config ... Domage!

OVERALL OPINION

I tested it for about two weeks, I like its ability to pushed the gear used but only on the clean is just too feeble.

I do not know what it's worth now ...

If I had the place, I would integrate well with my story board to have enough to renew the sound of my distos and overdrive and add a different color.
