The DS-1 gives me almost everything I was looking for for the music I play (Heavy Metal and some Classic Rock)

Even If you love 90`s alternative rock turn up the distortion all the way and you will love this pedal and guitarists are still using it in 2014

I play a lot of heavy metal, (Metallica, MegadetH, Slayer, trivium, bullet for my valentine, etc) and also 80's heavy metal and classic rock, (poison, skid row, whitesnake, quiet riot, def leopard, etc) and this Pedal, with a little understand about sound and compression, makes everything sound massive

If you love 80`s hard rock or hair metal turn up the distortion anywhere from 3 quarters of the way up to max and you will love this pedal

If you love classic rock from the 70`s turn the distortion to half-way and you will love this pedal

The thing is built as strong as the rocks at Stonehenge and will withstand any Big Bottoms falling on it at a show

Great pedal if you're looking for that punk-meets-noise/college rock kinda sound from the 90's

They build rock solid pedals, and versatile sounds.
