@@OokisMcFlookis they actually do clean up decent even the old ones. People give these pedals a hard time but with the right amp they actually sound very good. but if you put them with an amp like a twin that mid scoop on the twin or many other black face era fenders They sound terrible because you have mid scope on top of mid scope. But though it on a marshall or a other mid heavy amp and the thing comes alive even the stock version. I didn't have one on my board for years because I thought they were terrible because that's what I was made to believe when I started playing and about a year ago I picked 1 up for cheap to mod it and I was shocked when I plugged it in just for the heck of it with before I moddedbm it How much I actually liked the stock Version Mine has a jcm800 style mod now
When I heard the clean up, I thought to myself "No, it can't be!". I figured only this modified version would do that. Then I tried my stock DS-1 AND IT WORKED!! Thank you soooooo much man! Also, I'd like to think that I influenced the creation of this video, since I won't shut up about mine! Trust me, this sounds spectacular when you put it after a fuzz! I use a MXR Blue Box in front of it and BOOM! Thanks for sharing your amazing discovery!
@@bryanherward4679 the CE-2W and DC-2W do not have a bad sound in them(neither do the vintage versions). Not only do they sound incredible on a clean tone which is expected, but they both truly come alive with some gain. It’s a massive sound that just takes up the room and slices through a mix
Do not really care for this pedal, but I watch the video because you did it. Why the hell does your channel not have more subscribers? I don't get it. Love your content! By the way, I discoverd you through the Chase Bliss YT
When I started playing in middle school I was walking home with my gig bag and my neighbor stopped me. Took me too his garage and showed me his workshop. He was making homemade telecasters and he gave me a old ammunition box filled with old school goodies. I got a few old PAF pickups pulled out of Gibsons and in there was also a DS-1… that thing I had so little understanding of that I traded it for a “better” digitech distortion 🤦🏽♂️ it took mean a couple decades of playing to really understand the DS-1 and then of course I just had to get one again. Been using a boss DS-1 anniversary since I liked the all black case instead. People still seem to be in disbelief every time I show them this old staple of a pedal just plugged straight into my tube amp.
I bought my first Boss Wazacraft pedal the DC-2w, I am on the edge of buying this one as my distortion to add with my TS808HW tube screamer, I am into Texas blues, not into distortion much, it’s too bad you did not demo this with a Stratocaster,great demo best one I have heard yet.
I’ve been playing for 30 years and yet somehow have never owned a DS-1 (I do have about 10 other BOSS pedals currently, though). About to buy this one. Sounds great.
The MXR 78 badass is a staple on my board. Has the keeley mod replicated. But I use it for lower to mid gain dirt... if I want to push it I use a high output bridge pick up. I'd definitely be interested in this waza version though! Fantastic playing and beautiful tones!
Sounds like classic 90s stuff - Robert Plant, Fate of Nations album. I hate distortion but this particular sound is actually one of my top 3 sounds 'of all time'.
I have a 1979 ds1 and I’m not one of those guys that just says “because it’s old it’s better” but man it’s special it has such a good organic sound compared to my 40$ ds1 don’t ask me why, I’m sure someone here might know why but its amazing. Now with the waza craft version out I’m going to have to get it to collected the trio
I was hoping for a few AC/DC bars or some ZZ top. New sub and i’ll check out your back vids. Few bars of Hendrix or SRV? killer tone. I dont’ need any more guitar pedals but ima reward myself with 3 boss pedals for bday/Christmas…thanks man…!!
I'm still kind of struggling with it. The problem is I love the dirt channel on my amp but wanted something different for some variety. When I use the DS-1 through the dirt it just doesn't sound as good as the dirt by itself. Yes it's different, but just not as good. I have to try it in the clean channel next and see if that's any better for me. If not, back it goes.
I always found that with my DS-1! Go pass 12 and it doesn’t sound great :) always keep it back! I know players who would crank everything?? Sound terrible and then Blame pedals :)
That's the whole point in showing the dry signal first, so you get an idea of what the amp is doing before the pedal is engaged. 'Neutral' is equally unhelpful because 'neutral' is no amp at all. The amp settings here is the ballpark of where the DS1 shines best: Dark amps &/or overdriven amps. The custom setting might help it with typical Fender mid-scooped cleans though, not sure it'll replace darker AITB type pedals though.
i love distortion, too much. I truly believe that unless you can fit half a dozen pre amp tubes in a pedal, it will never sound like an amp. my motto is "never send a pedal to do an amps job" and I will die before I use a distortion pedal

How good is that cleanup?
I was shocked! I never expected that from a ds1
Very good. I want to buy one now
Yes, I agree. Please, Boss, I also would like a free pedal sent to me. Thank you in advance!

Woahhhhhhhh Sasha! You've outdone yourself here. That's some playing. We're glad that you are enjoying the DS-1W.
Thanks!! You should get one, I think you’d love it!
Wtf BOSS makes crappy distortion pedals. This sounds amazing. I’m so confused. My world no longer makes sense
@@tubingforever I suggest taking a look at some more boss pedals, most of them are genuinely excellent
@@tubingforever *WAZA CRAFT* bruh
@@LunaWorldcast I mean off the assembly line ones also sound great if you know how to use them and plug them into a half decent amp.
Never heard a DS-1 sound good for bluesy licks - well done!
This is the only demo that you need for this pedal (old version or new waza version). Impecable as always Sasha!!
Thanks Vlad!

I hope this channel gets some love and traction in the demo world. Such an underrated channel, perhaps, but killer playing, cool gear, nice dude.
Nice playing! Worlds beyond the average gear demo pentatonic noodling. Musical and soulful.
One of the best distortions ever made. I have a '86 DS1 in my rig and it's a great pedal and very versatile.
The Waza line just continues to be amazing. I cannot have a board without a CE-2W on it and I wasn't even that huge on chorus until I bought one.
i have like 5 friends with them...all different musical styles...i just can't sound bad.

@@dannyllerenatv8635 agreed...still need to get a DC2-w for my wall. Boss doesn't do a bad Chorus...
DS-1 was my first pedal. Thank you for your time. I loved this demo.
I didn’t plan on getting one of these. I knew I shouldn’t have watched your demo!! I’m going to have to order one now. That intro jam was astonishing.
Your very good at displaying pedals....guitar, pedals, amp and you....perfect. Now I'm going to buy it. Thanks for the review
Awesome demo, and crushing the shirt game!

Lol "leave me alone", great stuff man

Loved the tones fella .. great demo .. I have a Keeley modded one but that new custom mode is something else ..
Awesome tones and intro jam as always. Been Lusting over a Baum Wingman for a long while
That sounds magnificent! Nice job buddy....cheers!
I’ve been playing for 30 years and yet somehow have never owned a DS-1 (I do have about 10 other BOSS pedals currently, though). About to buy this one. Sounds great.
Excelente vídeo!
DS1 W ficou muito bom!
Obrigado por demonstrar esse fantástico pedal.

Man. I should have gotten one years ago. This recent model will do the trick.
Perfect player and perfect tone !!!
I've placed my order. Great demo...and obviously looks sick on that VertDluxe
Nice demo Sasha. Subscribed
How good is that custom mode!!! Cream era Clapton tone to my ears, and yes, I just bought one.
Soloing like that... the "zone" is real
thats a nice looking guitar 🤩
Brilliant playing!
Sounds like classic 90s stuff - Robert Plant, Fate of Nations album.
I hate distortion but this particular sound is actually one of my top 3 sounds 'of all time'.

It is the metal screw instead of the black screw that adds all the tone!
Great playing and sound - I hear some Clapton inflections
Anyone who hates distortion is crazy. Its better than overdrive or fuzz.
Beauty dude!
Btw would love to see you jam out with Chris Buck :) just discovered your channel very cool vids, subscribed!
I was hoping for a few AC/DC bars or some ZZ top. New sub and i’ll check out your back vids. Few bars of Hendrix or SRV? killer tone. I dont’ need any more guitar pedals but ima reward myself with 3 boss pedals for bday/Christmas…thanks man…!!
Enjoy the BOSS !

Great Video! Fantasie 👍 what Amp you are using ? Sounds amazing
Nice Shirt! Have the same from S&S :D
Keep up the good work!
Haha awesome! I love S&S, although most of their shirts are too tight around the chest for me. Have a ton of their pants though!
@@SashaIvantic same here, thats the fate of doing some training not only on guitar ;)
This van go nxt to my tried n true metal zone pedal.
Is it true these pedals are better build quality, I mean better components ect?
sounds good for acdc :)
Nice demo. Is the sound of the standard setting exactly the sound that you would get on a current stock boss ds1?
Great video! I own the DS-2. Do you think it’s worth the upgrade? Thanks
What strings do you prefer to use on your electric guitars?
With a long dash it would be perfect.😉
What guitar are you playing during the intro? That thing is beautiful
That’s a Baum Wingman!
Newbie question. How does he not get a load of hum and hiss with the volume on the pedal turned all the way up?
Volume generally doesn’t introduce a lot more hum, just a little bit. it’s the gain knob that can do that.
@@SashaIvantic Thanks Sasha! Great work on your channel. 🤘🏼
C'mon, man! I already have 15 pedals!
That is how everything starts.
I started buying pedals 19 years ago.
What's the guitar in intro jam?
I think the trick with the DS-1 is to not turn the tone or dist past noon…
I think that rule applies to all overdrive and distortion pedals if you want to stay in the range they perform best in!
I always found that with my DS-1! Go pass 12 and it doesn’t sound great :) always keep it back! I know players who would crank everything?? Sound terrible and then Blame pedals :)
Sounds like a Bon Jovi song.. Dry Country
Decent demo but the constant shaking of the guitar is distracting, makes the guitar look like it suffers from Parkinson’s.
😂😂😂
Wow!! Waza u got there buddy? :)
👍👍
Anyone who hates distortion is no friend of mine. 🤣
Your clean tone is really dark... I think this has affected the overall output. Would be better for a more neutral tonal palette.
I like it dark!
@@SashaIvantic but that's not why we listen to pedal reviews...
Sometimes I like it dark too but I know it's useful in this particular context.
That's the whole point in showing the dry signal first, so you get an idea of what the amp is doing before the pedal is engaged. 'Neutral' is equally unhelpful because 'neutral' is no amp at all.

@@soundknight get over it man, if you dont like the clean tone then make your own demo with a clean tone more along the lines of your own tastes
WHAT?? YOU'LL HAVE TO SPEAK UP--I CAN'T HEAR YOU OVER YOUR SHIRT!!
i love distortion, too much. I truly believe that unless you can fit half a dozen pre amp tubes in a pedal, it will never sound like an amp. my motto is "never send a pedal to do an amps job" and I will die before I use a distortion pedal
I bet you have tinnitus
Sasha... first off... your playing.... is amazing and inspiring !!!
But my question is... what is that guitar??!!!! That guitar is amazing!!!
