    yessir. it's hard to think of a cheap distortion pedal that offers more than the DS-1. In this video I highlight the commonly overlooked but incredible features of this glorious orange pedal. From grunge to blues, the DS-1 can do it all. dig it.

      Otherwise, you are getting a boost in volume. The whole ‘unity’ thing is not something we are very good at with our ears. It’s the mid scoop that misleads people with the DS1.

    It can be a great pedal, but most beginners would be better off with a RAT or RAT clone due to the versatility they have. The DS1 really shouldn't be the first thing always recommend to new players.

      @@minibikegarage1577 The DS1 can be really finicky with some amps (accentuates too much fizz and treble). A lot of clean amps that beginners start off with can get harsh with the DS1 (A slighty gainy marshall works best).
      The RAT clones like the Joyo Splinter and Mosky King RAT are not only a better deal than a RAT, but they are much more versatile, letting a beginner try out overdrive, distortion, and fuzz all in one. You can literally put one of those down and hit any rock genre you want, from blues to Hendrix to doom metal. The only thing it can't do is some modern metal that is tight, but even then with a boost it can work.

    Early 90's, probably Rip magazine, had a reprint interview with pre fame Nirvana. Talking on gear they wrote EF-1 as the distortion pedal he used.
    I spent a long time looking for a pedal that didn't exist probably because somebody sloppily transcribed a poor quality audio recording that said DS-1.
    Ah, the mythical EF-1. If only I had that, the power it holds, I would be unstoppable.
