years ago i asked my aunt for a ds-1 for christmas and, meaning well, she told her husband to order a ds-2 because she figured it would be better since it had more features and was more expensive. cannot thank her enough for that, i love my ds-2 and am so glad that i have it instead of a ds-1

DS2 is clearer regardless the settings. DS1 seems a bit more noisy+muddy when tone, volume, or dist are pushed too to far. Thanks for the fair comparison.

I have both and my take on the differences between them is this: The DS-1 has a much rawer character to the distortion, and more extreme filter sweep on the tone control, where it filters out extreme amounts of bass and pushes the treble to a ridiculous extent as you turn the tone up, making its usable range of adjustment fairly limited. but it preserves the dynamics and expressiveness of the guitar much better at lower gain settings than the DS-2. The DS-2 has a smoother 'texture' to the distortion, less extreme filtering that makes the tone control a bit easier to work with becasue it doesn't filter out quite so much low end as you turn it up - so you can still get an aggressive edge without hollowing out the low end. But it's also got a bit less definition overall, I find - It can be a bit 'soft focus' sounding with certain rigs. The midrange boost you get from "turbo" mode is VERY aggressive. Both are good at doing their own thing, with a certain amount of crossover where they can both do the same type of thing equally well depending on what you're trying to do with them. I find the DS-2 a lot more versatile, but there are certain characteristics of the DS-1's sound that I like better overall.

Great video! I have both and both are great for different jobs. If you want your distortion coming from a pedal into a clean amp, I would go with the DS-2, plus you can switch between the two modes by connecting a latching footswitch into the 'remote' jack socket. Mode 1 is darker, perfect for rhythm, while mode 2 has more mids and an open sound that works great for leads. If you want to boost an overdriven amp, the DS1 is one of the best pedals out there!. Turn the distortion all the way down (still distorts nicely) and push the distorted amp's input with the level while adjusting the clarity/thickness you want with the tone control. It's my favourite booster pedal out there.

I can get that kind of tone from my older SS Fender Deluxe 85 combo! It has a parallel channel feature that allows the clean and overdrive channels to run at the same time. I don't play with that often anymore, but it's nice to have for some classic rock and 80s Rush. :)

I like the DS-1 better for crunch rhythm i.e. low gain/distortion. That edgy breakup seems very like pre-amp valves starting to crunch to me. but the DS-2 better for higher distortion, it also seems to have a wider range of useable tones. How that would translate to different pickups and an amp with different mid characteristics I don't know.

@JohnMichaelBurns

The DS1 featured a couple of crazy design decisions, namely a transistor boost section before the opamp that had way too much gain which meant that certain guitar signals would get this really squashed, shrill tone even at minimum gain. Then there was a tone stack which allowed you to balance between an unuseably dull sound and an unuseably shrill sound. With the DS2 it seems like Boss adjusted the values of those parts of the circuit to make a more useable, better sounding distortion. It turned out that a lot of musicians really liked the sound that arose from the "bad design" of the original DS1 and it continued to outsell the "better sounding" DS2. Setting 1 is just a modded DS1. You should be able to mod either pedal to sound like the other with a few cap and resistor subsitutions.

DS-2 was my first distortion pedal. I boght it in the 90's and I used it for years. Than I sold it to buy the DS-1, crazy moment at the guitar shop (I own a mxr, and a metal zone too, but in the end I always prefered the ds-2) I found it second hand and I wanted the original one. Nothing... after less than one year I bought the DS-2 again. The DS-2 sounds exactly as the DS-1 with the turbo option that I like a lot.

First off, I am a huge Boss pedal fan and user of their modulation pedals and their Overdrive units. I just placed my order for the new 40th Anniversary Boss DS-1 Distortion. I rely heavily on the Boss OD-3 Overdrive and I like the Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive. I am watching and listening to You Tube clips to try and understand why my last experience with a DS-1 seemed too harsh and way to loud. Hopefully this will help me get a better tone from my new DS-1.

Remember if you're ever using any overdrive/distortion pedal with a solid state amp, to turn down the level on the pedal to almost zero then put the amp volume way up. Otherwise, the pedal will push the amp too hard and will make it distort, which unlike with tube amps is NOT a nice sound. Lots of people try DS-1's with SS amps and put the level on the pedal way up, and then wonder why it doesn't sound good

heres a trick for when using a ds-1; if you want a fuzzy tone crank up your distortion all the way up, then take down your tone to 9 o'clock or 9 and a half, and then adjust your volume according to what you want, this will give you a lot of sustain a because of how much you roll off your tone and how much gain you have; PLUS, this pedal tends to give you a lot of hum, so if you turn your gain all the way up you will get a lot of hum but the tone rolled down will tame everything down (DISCLAIMER: this setting is the one that i use for my affinity strat with single coils so if youre using a guitar with humbuckers you may need to take down the gain and bring up your tone a little bit :), you just need to tweak it until you find the sweetspot)

Boss rule, always have. Been playing thrash and metal sinse 82.my board is simple -mt-2, ds-1, boss Od, boss eq, boss noise suppressor and dimebag wah through a 100watt fender champion solid state amp. Sounds amazing from classic rock to doom. No need to spend a fortune on pedals, like all these tone snobs. Playing is from the heart and your fingers... Peace...

Of course, DS-1 wins in this comparison. DS-1 , atmosphere and creates specific images that are close ( to those who are in the topic ) since the early 80s. This pedal is what it is and does not seek to please anyone . DS-1 requires good sound extraction, the sound is open, textured and fuzzed. Playing it , you will not be able to hide behind excessive cozy compression . And the DS-2? DS2 is a pure compromise , the beginning of devaluation of IDEAS and oriented already ... to very wide masses , despite the fact that it ( DS2 ) was used by stars .

It's not a bad pedal but it does have a fatal flaw. If the remote switch breaks, you'll be stuck in either turbo mode or regular mode. You'll be unable to get out ! How do I know? Because IT HAPPENED TO ME ! I am no longer able to switch modes. The SD-2R has a superior design. Enabling you to access both modes even if the remote switch fails.

@Ston247
@Ston247 8 жыл бұрын
No. There's something wrong with the internal circuit. If that's messed up, just throw it away. Or pay minimum $50 for repair. For that price I can get another pedal.

Not true. If something happens to the board it won't matter how you switch channels. So, I simply replaced this pedal with a better model.

I've had the mega distortion for like 15 years now. It's got such a narrow gap of settings that actually sound good and are usable, otherwise it's way too bassy or way too trebly. That one setting that sounds good is great but it's definitely not a versatile pedal. Unless you put an EQ pedal after it in the chain and change it that way

DS-2 is what a DS-1 should be. It is like BOSS finally realised that they can make the DS-1 sound better with a more 'focused' and balanced tone...so they improved on the Ds-1 and as a result, the Ds-2 was born.

@@skald9 Fender Strat with lace sensors, Schecter with Seymour Duncan humbuckers, Jazzmaster with humbuckers, Fender Tele with single coils. Stock pickups except the Jazzmaster; Strat & Tele are USA made. All my other pedals sound great with any of these guitars. I don't like the DS-1 at all, and am thinking of trying modding it. But I like the sound so much more in this video. My amps are a Blackstar Club 40, and a '90s Fender Princeton Chorus. My DS-1 is pretty new, so I wondered if the older ones were better.
