I love stacking those two. They just work perfectly together. SD-1 gives that warm tube amp-like midrange, while DS-1 delivers the balls. DS-1 cuts through the mix like a knife, while SD-1 makes the sound fuller.
Critical Correction. The DS-1 is indeed usable and was widely used for 80s “Metal,” or what was called “metal” prior to “Master of Puppets.” We’re talking about an era when Heavy Metal was Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Dio era Black Sabbath, RR era Ozzy, Saxon, Def Leppard, Dokken, early Queensryche, Scorpions etc. The heavier, faster, metal of Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth, were still considered extreme, and not always welcomed by many metal fans. Read Metallica’s Damaged Justice Tour ‘88-‘89 program. The written narrative by Mick Wall very eloquently describes the initial reaction of early 80s metalheads to the then new more primitive, less melodic, punk-influenced form of metal. Many metal fans of the early 80s outright rejected punk rock as an unskilled noisy genre. Metal fans were particular about the musical chops of their heroes, and the hardcore punk bands just couldn’t cut it. Ultimately Metallica and peers proved everybody wrong, they developed as musicians and songwriters, while mainstream metal devolved into formulaic hair/pop/metal.
Totally makes sense. I suppose what I had in mind when I referred to metal is the modern metal sound from the 2000s and newer. But for that classic era of metal, it totally makes sense that they'd be using the DS-1s for that. I'll have to learn some more songs by the bands you've mentioned! Thanks for checking the video out and sharing your knowledge here!
@@Levisrad if u want a more mordrn metal try the mega distortion pedal or metal core pedal by Boss those are pro wrestling adrenaline junkie types of sounds
