    Still have mine from 1991 and I still use it daily.

    An absolute classic!
    Sounds great. I've had one for years. Played in rock bands, grunge bands, blues bands, wedding bands... it does it all.
    The strat parts-caster you built sounds really good too.

    Very Cool Thankyou. I use a DS-1 after a BD-2 (Boss Blues Driver) for extra Drive/Crunch. Such an Amazing pedal. Love the sounds it adds to my Solid State amps. So Awesome. Will run it through my tube amps one day, but too happy with their natural distortion channels. Cheers

      Cool I do the same thing. The BD-2 is an excellent boost pedal.

    I love my Ds-1 it's my main distortion pedal i love how dirty and scratchy it is

    45 years of production indicates that this is obviously the best pedal in music history

    Legend mate. Nothing too showcase-y. Just short sweet great rhythm playing featuring some of my favourite pedals and Grunge/Alt Rock/Post Punk sounds. Such a breath of fresh air after viewing all those widdly metal “reviews”. Thank you 🙏🏻☺️

    I wish a channel would try my 3 favorite pedals that nobody ever talks about and I can't really complain it kept the prices down for a long time. They are the Peavey dirty dog, hot foot and overdrive. If you get the chance to score one of these I don't think you'll be disappointed.

      Hard to find in the UK and quite expensive

      @@theguitarmanifesto well if I come across one I'll pick it up and maybe we can work out some type of deal. I just sold 2 of 4 dirty dogs last week. I do have a overdrive that needs work I'd give to you if you paid shipping. I haven't had time to work on it and keep it for parts.

    I had a keelly mod ds-1 very versatile pedal...

  • @mrNobody100
    @mrNobody100 Před rokem +1

    i liked my ds1 better when i yanked out a clipping diode. made it louder and i suppose more of an overdrive pedal. i default to the RAT for distortion, but use my ds2 when i want another distortion. but heck yeah, more power to the ds1 users, you don't need the fancy stuff, it'll do just fine!

    Brilliant pedal. Very versatile. Everyone from Kurt to Joe Satriani and Prince have used em.

    mine is a 2005 and seems really quiet, cleaned the pots and jacks... is it normal for the output to be lower than bypassed? was my first pedal too, been sitting for a couple years while i had been exploring other things.

    • @theguitarmanifesto
      @theguitarmanifesto  Před rokem

      Hmm sounds like it's faulty to me, I've had a fair few DS1 pedals and never had that issue.

    Had mine stolen in the 90’s and have yet to get another one but I will soon.

    Thank you once again for another honest and awesome video (concerning the Grunge topic). I just sold my DS 1 for a Tech 21 Sansamp Classic. The DS2 sounds better to my ears but opinions are like a-holes. There is plenty of them. Peace Rob
