Not a bad pedal...not sure it's worth the $$$
4 Stars
Not a bad pedal...not sure it's worth the $$$
I'm keeping it, even though for my use, it's probably over-priced...I think the key to this pedal is the same as the regular DS-1...you have to keep that treble way down, otherwise it gets too thin and fizzy. I'm using it to replace my TS-9, as it's old and not reliable anymore, plus, I've never been a fan of the clean-blend circuitry. It sounds pretty good for the basic Strat single coil neck blues tone. You can hear a lot of great demos on YouTube, however, that's all BS. Most of them are using high end amps that the average local player isn't using.
