One of my Favorites

I've had this pedal for a few years and it's far and away my favorite. I've A/B'd with many other pedals I have including some boutique models (Rockbox - Boiling Point, Bearfoot - HT) and it's always the one I prefer. It's got a clarity and a smoothness that I don't hear in other units and works great stacked with a nice boost (I use a Wampler Tumnus). I usually set the drive read more around 9 o'clock and that's plenty of crunch for me, but at higher levels it still retains a wonderful tone that never gets out of control. The best aspect of this unit is the sustain - it just goes on and on...

Amazing. Extremely articulate, excellent sound goes great with my fender amp.

Very good!

I've had this thing for 6 month and gigged with it a lot,it took me a while to dial in my sound and to realize that the distortion doesn't need to be grindy heavy to get a great OD/Distortion sound. The most I have my distortion dialed in is between 10-11 O'clock. it is a very clean clear distortion for lack of better term... It is also very sensitive to pick attack as well as read more rolling of ones guitar volume, in fact, it cleans up too well at times depending on the wounds on the bridge pick ups. It goes really well in front of my Digitech Cab Dry VR, highly recommend it...

This Pedal Rocks!!!

I actually have two of them now. I'm a gear snob I always buy American made high end gear, Amps, Pedals, Guitars etc. but no matter how much I spend on distortion pedals I can not replace these things!!! I'm still trying but every boutique pedal I buy sounds two dimensional to me now compared to the three dimensional sounds of the DS1-X. There's no need to max out the gain and adjust read more the eq with your ears and not just putting everything on 12:00. I couldn't recommend anything better at any price

GREAT!!
