Is this the vintage one or the reissues selling thesedays?
Want to get one of em, but i'm gettin adviced to get a modded one cos stocks ds1s are terribad. Ones on the market right now, those which cost like 50 dollars are Made in taiwan right?

Hi, what's the difference between the old made in japan DS1 and the moderns with mods for example keeley? i mean about tone and stuff like that... what pedal would u buy between an old MIJ and a keeley or another one modified? thank u...
actly its kinda weird tht i cnt rele get a bright sound on it, its like super warmm and cnt rele go for a heavy stuff. i rele dono, what should i do, either guitar, amps, or the pedal aswell.. hahaa sory to disturb you hehe ;)
it depends on what the EQ settings on your pathfinder are like. bear in mind there are only two knobs: treble and bass, so try setting both at 12 o'clock and then tweaking them around to get the sound you like.
@ChickenFaeces bearing in mind that the DS-1 pedals were designed to emulate the sound of an old school amp being turned way up loud to obtain the crunch we all hold so dear, the question as to whether this pedal is idiosyncratic (of all distortion pedals trying to emulate that sound?) kind of answers itself: yes!
That said, I have to ask: what would you consider as the "benchmark of basic and generic"? Is the clean tones obtained from a Roland Jazz Chorus basic and generic?
I mean, I'm no aficionado when it comes to the crazy, endless world of guitar tone, but by "basic and generic", I mean something like Nickelback, where the distortion (and overall sound) is really plain and bland.
What I want is distortion that sounds interesting, not something that'll fuck my signal up just so I can play heavy stuff.
"basic and generic" is always relative, but I guess that I just want something that's "distortion", but interesting. Not just standard grungy stuff
tbh I have no idea what setup nickelback uses, but in my mind's eye I reckon it's usually a plethora of pedals fed into a tube amp for live purposes or when recording, simply plugging into protools with some amp simulation plug-in! If you want something interesting, you can always try out the many different distortions from EHX, which IMO have a wide range of organic sounds possible from different boxes. Good luck!
renatoufo: I guess the EQ setting I have on the amp caused abit more mid-range to come through, thereby making the sound seem more 'rounded' as compared to a more common 'edgy' distortion sound. But really, this is a very warm-sounding pedal.
I believe in a thing called loooooove!!!!! nice song!! i dont underestand , the DS-1 sounds like an overdrive. I think the boss super overdrive sounds like a real distortion and this pedal sounds more like an overdrive pedal.
You're awesome! Great pedal too.

@ErrikWong
In your opinion, does this thing sound really idiosyncratic, or is it just really basic and generic?

OosGuitar: I bought this pedal 2nd hand, so I didn't get a power adaptor together with it. It works just fine with daisy chain power anyway.
