There are just dozens and dozens of Amp-in -Box pedals that give all the aggression and punch one could possibly use yet still have an nice warm sound rich in harmonics. In am a big collector of AIAB pedals from the cheapest to the obscenely expensive but I truly believe my Caline High Peak Distortion at $40.00 USD makes this Boss look wanting.
OK that aside, Thanx for the demo Jackson
.To those watching this be sure to do a thumbs up and subscribe. Both take literally seconds to do but they make it possible for Jackson to give us reviews. Often he is first to show a pedal you don't see anywhere that just a short time later if you wanted one you are on the tail end of a long waiting list.

[@JacksonBrooksby]

Cheers for the kind words Paul

[@jacksmith4460]

Rhett was wrong but that was just by being Rhett and its a default mode

[@brianferguson9873]

I don’t like that dude.

[@zachmiller4575]

I think the custom mode sounds a lot better than the standard at least to my ears I like more midrange in my drives

[@sixslinger9951]

I have the waza DS-1 ...I get a pretty killer lead sound out of it but the OD 3 is so much more versatile and SO MUCH more smoother sounding. with both of them, it's best to throw in a GE7 EQ right after them to fine tune.

[@JacksonBrooksby]

I loved my OD-3 when I had one, but ultimately had other pedals that did a similar thing. I don’t have anything that sounds like this

[@rob28781]

I love classic rock but I just don't like distortion pedals when I'm playing. The amount of times I hear someone playing a really good sounding distortion pedal and think I might buy that, but in reality I just stick to my low/medium overdrive pedals, or stack two together like the Cornerstone Imperium (Gladio SC and Antique).

[@micktheman6]

I think he was just trying to show a tube screamer alternative that is better and I’d have to agree with him however I wouldn’t want it over many other drives

[@TheChainsofAlice]

I like the ds1....sometimes. I don't think I would put one on my board but I do enjoy jamming with it every once in a while. I did buy and then sell the ds1w. The waza craft version just wasn't worth it to me. Nice video!

[@betterthandeadohyea4500]

The only usable sound I ever got out of a ds1 was using it as a boost.

[@JacksonBrooksby]

To be fair, it does make a great boost

[@crankshaft383]

Nice tweaking. 👍 Hits me right in the buzzy beeness...🐝

[@bluepedalsrock9271]

Describing the Metal Zone on a DS-1 video smh 😂

[@CC-fi3pp]

This somehow came out far better then the bd-1w and the sd-1w. You'd of never thought 😂, the ds-1w is the best Waza dirt pedal (yes its better than the Fuzzes and the metal and all all that).

[@wonderz_808]

Why do you think this?

[@traviscrown9189]

If you don’t like the tone control turned up…. Then don’t turn it up!!!

[@Bitterman-777]

It's all about the bite and attack. Not really for traditional blues or classic rock.

[@JasonWharton82]

I’ve never liked the DS-1, I just do not get it.

[@Ace96x10]

This is a great pedal if you want a really thin over distorted tone to attract demonic spirits. In fairness though, with a single coil pickup and a great tube amp, it can be ok for certain things.. In a limited way.

[@BkBk-gy6vr]

Rhett shull is wrong about most things.

[@4602experience]

But but but he’s Rick Beatos buddy

[@rivendrive]

But what was he wrong about here?

[@frankenstein4106]

Still sounds annoying to me. Not my cup of tea at all!

[@jturquoise]

Rhett shill is annoying
