    I was 15 and it was 1992. I was soooooo into Nirvana. I saved up enough money from my paper route to buy my first pedal. Someone told me that “Come as you are” used a thing called “Flanger” so I got a Boss Flanger BF-2. I still have it, and now it’s considered “vintage” which sorta hurts.

    This was the first gain pedal I ever got when I was 13 and I ended up gravitating to the the rat for the distortion I wanted but when I returned to the ds-1 to mess with it it blew me away the versatility this thing holds as a boost in front of your favorite amp settings. No classic pedal has surprised me as much as this one.

    I went in the same experience as you wanting a pedal and they sold me a zoom 505 for about a hundred. Kind of expensive relative other pedals but in hindsight they did a great job because that was the perfect pedal to plug into any amp and get a decent stage worthy sound, where the fx chorus compression distortion etc built right in.

    Great video. I have never tried that Boss pedal. I have a SD-1 on my pedal board that I use to boost an ISP Theta for leads. It tightens it all up. I have many Boss pedals. I love them all. I also use a Quilter Tone Block for my amp. Small reliable and insanely powerful setup. I can play into any cabinet from a 1x12 up to 2 4x12's. I have used the ISP for many years. If I were to try something else I would go for the BluGuitar Mercury or Iridium.

    Hey Mike, picked up a DS-1 in the 90's for something heavier than a TS and loved it from the first chord even going through a super clean Roland Jazz Chorus and then when I got home and plugged into my Marshall it was Heaven! Unfortunately it was replaced with an OCD and sold but now seeing and hearing the Waza I've gotta get one!

  • @olafschnieders5046
    @olafschnieders5046 Рік тому

    It was way back in 1983/84 when I got my first pedal: It was the kit of the DS-1, that you had to build/solder yourself. What a friend did for untalented me. Unfortunately it got lost after a live gig we played. I loved it while playing my Höfner Solid Body 173 which works with pretty underwound pickups. I replaced the orange brick with a Korg OVD-1 and still play it today. A little later a Tube Screamer followed, which is also still in use. The Höfner suffered a water damage when our rehearsal room got flooded. I got a Squier Japan Strat as replacement for it. And still play it today. I could restore the Höfner just three years ago. I use it for practicing and to develop ideas. I guess, another DS-1 would really work well with it again ... Thx for the inspiring video!!

    This is the first video of yours that I've seen. I really like your enthusiasm and energy. I'm going to go watch some more.
    I feel like the Boss DS1 is the orange stomp box everybody needs to try once. Whether or not you keep it in your arsenal, is entirely up to you, and that's probably why it's everywhere. It can shape your whole voice or it can just enhance it. Not a lot of kit can do that.
    I know pros who keep two of them on their pedal boards, because everybody seems to have (at least) two favorite settings that they can dial in with that pedal. Because it has such a dynamic range and EQ, this can be quite a big variety of voicings.
    Having said that, this pedal never hit me right. The attack has always had a solid state feel to it that never felt right to me. I was drawn to the kind of sounds you get from tube distortions and valve harmonics. There are a lot of condescending guitars snobs out there who share that same opinion, so I'm kind of rolling my eyes saying so.
    In my defense, I did start playing guitar in the '80s and back then everything was solid state, hairspray, and sharp attack, high gain distortion. 🤟
    A couple of years ago somebody gave me one and I let it collect dust for too long. I then learned that it is a remarkably good way to cut a clear voice in a smaller hall, where you might get a little lost in the acoustics.
    Years of looking down on this pedal and I now realize why it is everybody from bedrooms to ballrooms uses it. Even if it's only sparingly integrated into their kit, it has a place.
    I highly suggest you looking to getting the boss EQ. If you think the DS1 has an alarming amount of variety and uniqueness, that little white pedal will blow your mind.

    The Boss DS-1 is the past, present and future. It was the first distortion peddle I ever owned and I kept coming back to it after trying others. It does everything you need, no matter what you need. It just sounds perfect, no matter what guitar or amp you pair it with. Add to all that, you can throw Boss peddles against a wall and they still work. I'll never use anything else.

    Normally, I use a Rat or similar pedal but recently I've been using a Boss DA-2 Adaptive Distortion, DS-1 Distortion, and a DS-1X Distortion for recording. The DA-2 features Boss' Multi-dimensional Processing (MDP) technology which I thought was just more marketing malarky until I played it. The distortion is very different from other pedals I've used. The DS-1X uses the same MDP and makes a nice variation on the DA-2. The DS-1 borders on fuzz and has a rich spinning grind. All three play nice with single coils and humbuckers and maintain the tonal characteristics of each guitar.

    @beerwolf8518 Рік тому +1

    Good review. DS-1 is a cool pedal. I have a good collection of Keeley modded ones and an Analogman one. The custom channel is a good idea which sounds kind of like they did took some of the mods done by different boutique builders during the years and applied them. I haven't tried the Waza, but am interested. Typical modded DS-1s would change the clipping diodes to get a different break-up character and also sometimes change some capacitors to get more mids. Another similar good distortion pedal is the Ibanez Sonic Distortion. Also, in general, if you haven't tried the Nobels ODR1, it's very good as an overdrive (not a distortion pedal). I recently discovered that overdrive and think it sounds more amp-like than many drives.

    I started playing guitar around ‘87 and I got my first pedal shortly after I got my first 15 watt Fender practice amp which was a Boss GE-7. I still have it in my practice rig though in my main rig I have a Behringer programmable 31 band stereo EQ and a parametric EQ on my multi effects unit.
    While things like delay, chorus, reverb, flanger, phaser, distortion, overdrive etc. are very useful I still think a graphic EQ should be every guitarist first pedal.
    I have a DS-1 with the Keeley seeing eye mod and a MT-2 and CE-2 also modded by Keeley (I don’t think Keeley does any pedal mods any longer). I want to get hold of the waza craft versions of those pedals to see how they compare to the modded ones I have.
    Best chorus I have ever had was in the ADA MP-1, but the modded CE-2 is also phenomenal.
    Delay is probably my favorite effect to use overall, though for obvious reasons it’s not on all the time and an EQ is always on…2 actually as I’m always running the graphic and parametric EQs. Again I would encourage every new guitar player to start with a small graphic EQ, there’s no glamor with EQ but it’s the most versatile pedal there is and you can learn so much more about tone and how to stand out just right in the mix with an EQ, things that you just can’t quite learn with any other pedal.

    My first two pedals (since I got them at the same time) were a Boss OD-1X and DS-1 and I still use them to this day, my go-to is my OD-1X and that’s the main source of gain that I use on my pedalboard but I’ll use the DS-1 when I need something with a bit more crunch (I also remember a Guitar World issue I had went through a list of effects pedals and the songs that used those pedals with their exact setting, so my DS-1 still has the same “Smells Like Teen Spirit” setting I put it to

I had a zoom 505, boss desto, reverb, and some others that I deliberately choose not to remember cos it hurt.. managed to salvage my acoustic guitar which floated on sea water during the typhoon.. had it restored by a local shop.. needless to say, it was a shit show.. they used furniture varnish for the top coat.. that was 9 yrs ago.. I just saved enough money to have my acoustic finally restored by a professional, its still in the works.. trying to save up to build and buy a new set.. but yeah.. this brings back memories.. thank you..

    My first pedal was a DOD Supra Distortion. I started playing in 1991 & DOD was the entry level pedal go-to. It sounded terrible. No idea what even happened to it but it’s long gone.
    Nowadays I do a lot of stacking & gain staging with my drive pedals. My main drive for pushed clean & full on distortion is a Hudson Broadcast Dual. For a different flavor of OD or lead boost I use a Klon Centaur. And no I didn’t pay some ridiculous amount for it, I bought it from Bill Finnegan in 2007 when he was still making them. Paid $344, which I thought the pedal was well worth.
    I also have a Danelectro Eisenhower octave fuzz & a slot that gets swapped out constantly. It can be anything from a Muff of some kind to a Keeley D&M Drive. I also have a Strymon Flint. The drive pedals & the Flint are in the effects loops of a Line 6 HX Effects which handles everything else. Wah, comp, chorus/mod, Whammy, volume, delay & reverb are all done by the HX, which has 2 Dunlop expression pedals connected. From there I go into the front of the amp, which is either a 1x12 Princeton Reverb, a Dr. Z Maz 18 NR or a Vox AC10. I have a few other amps but most of the time it’s the Princeton, which has a 12” Cannabis Rex in it.

      What I did was, found a slab of wood in the garage that looked the perfect size. It was 32" x 12" x 1" thick
      Lined the top with sticky back velcro, and put a strip on the bottom of my pedals.
      I have room for a Voodoo labs power pack, and 8 pedals. Actually, 6 pedals a cry baby wah and an old, very large, Peterson strobe tuner
      I screwed a metal cabinet door handle onto the edge to carry it. Offset to balance the weight.
      A couple large contractor hefty bags and a bungee cord protect it in the rain and snow.
      They've held on through 15 years of slinging it around every weekend.

    For all those that think the DS-1 isn’t a good dirt pedal. Please use it with an already dirty amp, back the drive, boost the level, fine tune the tone knob.
    It’s a better more colorful boost/drive than most boutique drives.
    Don’t @ me.

    I'm a bass player and my first pedal was the Boss bass overdrive which was back in like 2004 maybe and it's still my main pedal I use. It has a low and high knob which helps keep my tone as thick as I want whole also getting the high end I need to cut through the mix. And the drive you can either dial back and make just a nice light crunch or you can get it really fuzzy and heavy. I used to add a tube screamer to my setup but for bass it can cause a drop in low end so I would put it before the overdrive so that I can use the tube screamer to get that extra boost and cut through the mix for certain parts of a song but the overdrive will keep the low end boosted.

    That full and fat sustained tone without being fuzzy or fizzy sounded great with the Strat, and i would have mistaken it for an OD, not a distortion. How different is it than the standard DS1?

    I got my first two pedals at the same time: standard Cry Baby wah and BOSS Digital Delay. Both very solid pedals to work with. Recently bought a 1987 Japanese DS-2 pedal from Reverb (big Frusciante & Cobain fan) and it’s quickly becoming my favorite pedal.

    Me being a Big Parliament/Funkadelic fan My first pedals were a Fender Fuzz/Wah and MXR Phase 90. But I actually got the Phase 90 after hearing Guitar Solo/Riff on Bohannon's The Groove Machine. I made a recording of it and took it to a local music store and they hooked me up. I may still have it somewhere.

    My first pedal? It was the ’80s, so it was a chorus. Favorite distortion? I really like the Boss DA-2, but-for me-nothing beats polyphonic distortion through my Boss GP-10 or Spicetone 6appeal. It always annoys me when people call a hexaphonic pickup a “MIDI pickup” because the real magic is when you use it for polyphonic distortion rather than to trigger synths.

    Yes I do...lol Metal Zone MT-2, some people have rated this to be the worse pedal. but it seemed that it works best depending how it is connected. If i remember correctly, if you put it before the preamp it works great if you plug after it seems to not work good at all.

    My first guitar pedal is a Dan Electro Chili Dog Octave pedal and I still have it. I sort of stopped using it when I got my second or third pedal which is a Boss PS-2 Pitch Shifter/Delay. I like its cleaner octave down and up sound plus the feedback on the pedal is a lot wilder than the Chili Dog.

    I still have my first pedal, it's a Danelectro Pastrami overdrive pedal, for years I haven't used it because I thought it was awful, but it has its uses, now I only use it to play some Rory Gallagher and some Queen just as an EQ shaper with a light boost.

    My first pedal was a EHX soul food. i got it because I thought it would work well at church, but I never ended up playing it there and didn't really get it on the whole. I got an OCD next and it was much more up my alley. Despite my consistent efforts to replace it, it usually ends up on my board again after a month or so. I've used it like at least 5 different ways over the years.
    I got really into stacking at one point and wanted to try the soul food into the OCD, but the soul food didn't work when I plugged it in, so i pulled the LED for an LED clipping experiemnt I was doing at the time and eventually got rid of the rest of the board because it wasn't worth paying someone to figure out what was wrong with it.

    I spent all my $100 I got for Christmas 1981 on a Boss DS-1. Yes it was that much. In fact I got it for $25 off. I don't remember what happened to it but I want to get another one. I'm going to get me the new Waza craft Edition as soon as they're back in stock. I'll never forget the time I took my guitar, amp, and this pedal to my buddy's house and hearing his mom ask "What is that little orange box that makes it sound ugly?" lol! Yup it's a classic alright. (My first pedal was an Electro Harmonix Big Muff Deluxe that I got from a friend some 42 years ago when I was 16 and just started playing.. It was fuzz and compression in one and it had the sweetest violin fuzz. Very collectable today. Another piece of gear i regret letting go.) Great video!

  • @tommymills326
    @tommymills326 Рік тому

    I love my fuzz..... so, my main fuzz/distortion of choice is usually my '75 Big Muff... but I do have a keely modded Ds-1 that has a Mid boost function much like your waza craft version has. It's another one of my favorite distortion pedals. It's useful in situations where I feel my big muff is too much and an overdrive pedal isn't enough. It can be very creamy when the amp is cranked a bit and you've dialed in those right settings. you can't go wrong with a DS-1.
