- Опубліковано 4 чер 2020
- Today we take a closer look at four Boss DS-1 style distortion pedals. The DS-1 is a fantastic pedal and deserves much more appreciation. There is, however, a positive aspect of the fact that the DS-1 is a sleeper. While guitarists around the world are busy emptying their wallets for a vintage Tube Screamer, a few lucky guys can take home a vintage DS-1 at an incredible price. Not bad!

So guys, what's your favorite DS-1 style pedal?
Had DS-1 and could not find any tones I like, compared it to BigMuff Pi on lower sustain, and kept the Muff for distortion. Got HotHead now few days ago and I love the tones, keep in mind Im also way better at playing and dialing in sounds so I wondered, until saw this video. Thank you. I also like the HotHead from your vid the best.
@@TenisDimants Digitech made some great sounding sleeper pedals. We're happy you like the Hot Head.
Hot Head and an old 1980s DS-1. The old one is at the shop for repairs. It's falling apart! (kinda like the owner😆)

The OG mij or black label Taiwan units.
Hot head is totally underrated folks.If someone plays in a band knows what i m talking about.Great pedal.
I worked with an old Canaidian Vet that plays in a country band he gets radio play and has recorded in Nashville. He's an amazing fellow, he gave me an old massive Ride Cymbal and the Digitech Hothead. He said it was too much for him. I was really surprised at how great it sounded.
The Hothead was my first ever pedal and I still think it’s awesome. I really love the DS1 but most of the modded versions just clean up the sound in a way I can’t exactly explain but I prefer. Plus it has was more gain and if it ever breaks it’s really cheap because people are scared off by “Digi”. Thank you so much for this thorough demo!
Thx a lot for your comment.
Digi makes great stuff. I have been using the digidelay for over 10 years, and just ordered a hot head for 30 bucks. Can’t beat that
Gotta love them. I have six of the Hothead, Digidelay era. I'm really into noise, so I have the DeathMetal, the Merzbow pedal. I think it's a clone, possibly modded, of the HM-2, the Turbo Flange has its sweet spots for drone shifting, the Grunge, for a laugh, it was cheap and it's fun to stack dirt, you can find new and exciting ways to destroy your speakers/ears/ relationships with neighbours. The MetalMachine, stick it in your send/return loop.
The MXR is an absolute sleeper pedal. Best way to get the Keeley mod sound at a fraction of the price. If they said in the copy that it’s a clone, I’m sure they’d push a lot more of them.
Wow, can't tell the difference between the Keely modded DS-1 and the Digitech Hothead. I kinda like the brightness of the original unmodded DS-1 the best!
'78 Distortion! ❤️
Glad I found this…currently shopping for a Hot Head. Thank you!!
Hot head is the best distortion pedal I’ve ever played in my opinion. All are good though
My first pedal ever was an MXR distortion plus my guitar teacher, Randy Rhoads, told me to buy. I still have it, but because the Hot Head has eq flexibility, after watching this vid, I bought one after finding one cheap. It will be interesting to compare the two. I have had two DS-1 pedals. I sold one and kept the one with better bass response, but I still thought it sounded lousy, and gave it away to some guy who had his rig stolen. Thank you for the vid. If I remember I will come back and comment on the comparison of the two pedals.
Thx for your comment and thx for the advice. D+ vs Hot Head could be an interesting vid.
Dude... amazing video. Thanks.
Solid video thanks for the info - IMO having done a shootout with the Hot Head and DS1, the DS1 has more "plump screech" that can be dialed back with the tone and gain in the right spots, but the Hot Head always sounded to me more like a JCM800 80s style pedal vibe no matter how i tried to balance the EQ. And none of those things are bad, I just was not able to get a thick 90s sound out of the Hot Head, which is ultimately why I went with a Way Huge Russian Pickle
Thanks. My favorite distortion is the DS-1 but sometimes I wish it had a bit more headroom. So essentially I'm looking for something that sounds just like a DS-1 with more headroom. Seems the hot head is worth a try.
Why did you run everything so dark and muffled?
I purchased the custom badass and will have it in a few days. I have an old stock DS1. Honestly, you won't go wrong with either. The DS1 sounds better or worse on different guitars/amps. The same goes for tube screamers.
If you wont more headroom just bring the level up
I have all these pedals except the Keeley mod. I prefer the Digitech Hot Head.
I don’t know, mate... this may sound like a silly thing to say, but the DS1 still is the only one that does that real DS1 sound.
Is not silly, it's kind of true. We find the Digitech to be very close though.
The MXR 78 is a straight up clone of the Keeley Seeing Eye DS1 mod!!
I personally like how the hot head works on my bass rather than on my guitar.
I love the MXR. Gave mine to a band mate, but it’s a great pedal.
It is! The MXR Custom Badass '78 is fantastic with Strat, low gain, and the neck pickup.
The DS-1 is still on Mike Stern's pedal board
No its not. You mean sd1
If you had to choose between the keeley ds1 and the mxr 78, which one would you go for?
Mmmh, probably the MXR cause it sounds great and is cheap.
We As A Company thank you for your reply. I already have the standard ds1 and the MXR78. But on the french’s craigslist there’s a guy selling a real keeley ds1 (with the keeley sticker, box and paper) for just 50€. But i was wandering if it’s really useful as everybody says the mxr is very similar. I know its a great price so i’m having a dilemma.
@@paressehylton If you're interested in collection is a good price. If you're looking for tones I think the MXR is very, very similar.
We As A Company Thanks for the advice. If it’s that similar, then i’ll save the 50€ for another effect
I have the MXR 78 and the MXR 77. Both together sound really great! They stack perfectly.
Sold my DS1, Hot Head, Bad Monkey and Death Metal a while ago. Wondering...
what you have now?
140€
Currently digging Distortion+ DIY and Ultimate Drive. Wondering to get something like DS1/Hot Head and or SD1/Bad Monkey again.
@@niasboiii Dis+ is a great pedal. Maybe a Tube Screamer like pedal would complement the Dis+ better than a DS-1 style. We'll post a Tube screamer shootout in a couple of weeks and the Bad Monkey is in the mix.
@@WeAsACompany Well, I am not hooking up the D+ with anything listed above or your suggestions. I just like it by itself. I also kind of try to work with a EHX Hot Tubes and Bass Soul Food. Looking forward to thst video.
78 distorsion is based on the proco rat no? Not on the ds1
You sure?
@@WeAsACompany i read this yesterday on some websites yes.. the only way to know it : opening it
@@WeAsACompany i find both informations... Should check the schematic to be sure.
@@MSMWorkshop Interesting, a lot of sources state that is based on the DS-1, and they sound almost identical. I remember a few people saying that the MXR is based on the DS1 Keeley mod.
@@MSMWorkshop yep, you're right, schematic is the only sure answer.
To run a ds -1 proper you need some amp volume. Youre amp runs low. If I dial the volume of my boss keely as loud as you do the amp is destroid. I run the volume at 9 a clock. Maby yours differs from the real keely pedal with blue led and sticker. Mine sound more open ‘Marshalls’ leaves the bass of the amp in tact and is very dinamic! But dinamic only if use not to Many pedals in the chain. Only a true bipass delay is best. A chain of 4 pedals ruins the dinamics.
Thx for the comment. The amp is loud but we use an attenuator so that we can have tubes breakup at a lower volume. The pedals are not chained but into a loop switcher.
Just want to say an only true bypass pedal setup will add a lot of capacitance, which will eventually lead to sounding like you rolled off the tone knob. You need a buffer bypass pedal at the beginning, there’s also nothing wrong with a well designed buffer bypass like Boss’s
That is why you should get super low capacitance / short cables.
I have 24yr old ds1 I modded a few years ago, I love it, its bever been off my baord but the noise gets on my tits. The hiss did reduce when modded but is still there. Do any of the alteratives have lower noise/hiss?
This video is a proof that you can make any pedal sounds like crap 💩!!
