God damn this thing puts most "metal" pedals to shame in the chug category

[@kylegoodman5196]

Yeah because the gain is just the right amount and the EQ is not so sweeping.

[@jeremyrobertson7267]

@@kylegoodman5196 I assume your referencing the metalzone in your passive aggressive diss there!? For starters the gain and eq frequencies are knobs or dials and can be adjusted accordingly to what you want, maybe you just don't know how to use em properly and that is the real problem!? Metalzone is the sickest and always has been, until all you idiots came along spreading ya internet myths and fairytales. Some of the shit I hear being said as g0spel, is in reality the most ridiculous and obviously uneducated shit I've ever heard in my life. We have this new 'information super highway' known otherwise as the internet and yet people are getting dumber and dumber every day it seems!? Only mankind is so good at evolving backwards!!!

[@kylegoodman5196]

@@jeremyrobertson7267 Okay first of all... I own a Metal Zone, currently an MT2W Waza Metal Zone, and love it. But I completely think the EQ on it is almost too aggressive. Its way too easy to make a Metal Zone sound bad, where I feel like this pedal sounds better with all its knobs ar 12 o'clock than the Metal Zone does. If anything my comment was more aimed at the Mxr Fullbore than the Metal Zone.

[@lt-yx1hx]

@@jeremyrobertson7267 "passive aggressive diss" This is a fucking general statement about why the pedal is good. How do you read that and instantly think that it's a metal zone diss? Pretty sure you're the one who's "evolving backwards."

That 5150 has better distortion by itself so what`s the point?

[@apoplexiamusic]

@@mikkolevomaki8618 maybe for someone playing into a Fender amp who wants what option for more distortion? Or what about going into an amp that doesn't have an effects loop so you can't go straight into the power amp?

I got my behringer Vamp 2 the WEEK before he did that pedal !!! Scored it for $50 ( USD ) , watched it here for free !!! Didn't check if they went up much higher But I'm guessing they probably did seeing as there weren't that many available to begin with . The ENGL clone-tone on that pedal is CHUG-NIFICENT !

Not Amazon apparently.

jeez my strings have been on my guitar about twenty years apart from the high e, it snapped about 20 years ago and couldn't be arsed replacing it

I always love when Ola plays something and listens; he always makes an expression like he wasn't expecting to hear what he's hearing. Like "Wait a minute... "

[@Alien-qw5ks]

I already have this pedal for about a year! One of the best buys I ever did! Instant chug in a box! The thing that most impresses me is, that you can play any chord on it and you will hear every note! and yes, even with crazy jazz chords

Sometimes I like to hear it from the camera mic too. Maybe thats just me...

[@VapnFagan]

He mixes a tad bit of room mic in with the cab mic to get that tone.. Not really a camera mic but its not all cab mic.

[@seventhsealhere]

One of the best tones on Will it Chug yet! Great to see this combo. That cab also helps, it’s sick! 👍

[@TheSpineSplitter1990]

That sounds really good, seems like its already a tight distortion without the need for a boost. The 5150's power amp section and the Fortin cab really brings it all together..

[@toddkoenig426]

I really like what you are playing around 3 minutes in to this video! Also, what an absolutely perfect color for a guitar! Thank you for being Ola!

Hi Ola! I just bought it because of your video. Thank you! Your channel is great!

That sounds great! I have never found a distortion pedal I like but this sounds really good :)

I have it,and i played also with boutique pedals but ds1x has really something special,is killer sounding right out of the box and tweaking makes it sound even better!!

Did you buy it and are you still happy with it?

[@adamg378]

@@Pat78 I did buy it and tbh, the metal zone is still so much better. I would recommend the metal zone over any other Boss distortion pedal.

[@BillyBigRiggin359]

The little tune you play on every clean channel is so sick. Really pearl jammy lol

[@thetribalist6923]

I'm surprised at how nice that clean tone sounds from the 5150.

[@DennisBottaro]

Boss for the win! Also - damned cool to see your studio setup!

[@brandondowning7262]

Discovered something that totally surprised me about this pedal. It loves single coil pickups! This pedal pushing a clean fender style amp with a single coil neck pickup is hard to beat in my opinion.

[@DamnedIntrovert]

I bought this pedal after watching this video. It has the ideal sound qualities for what I want to record. I'll be putting my pedal into a Marshall JVM410 instead though running into a Two notes Torpedo Live, so, that'll be interesting to see if the tone will be darker or not because of the Marshall. Cheers Ola, great video demo, really helpful.

[@Lespaul13100]

I've been using this pedal for a few years, love it!

[@davidgoeschguitar6505]

[@kylegyenes5068]

This pedal would probably work really well for that Spawn of Possession tone where it's tight and not overly gain-y. Still chugs amazingly too.

[@GuitarGearGyan]

Nice one Ola! We did a full Boss Drive comparison for all their single stompboxes other than the Wazacraft which will get their own reviews along with the JB2. The DS1X was our favourite pedal. Keep Chugging and making great videos.

[@TheMack]

Holy hell, love that sound! Tight, hard and very "clean" distortion. Sounds like a mix between Accept and AC/DC!

[@Xxmeca421xX]

I sold my boss pedals when i was short on cash and need to start buying them back. this reminds me of the mega distortion i had.

[@duffman18]

I still my have my Boss Mega Distortion, the first pedal I ever bought, 15 years ago. The thing has kind of a narrow range of usable EQ but once you dial it in right it sounds killer. I remember back in the day being jealous of my friend who had a DS-1 though cos he got it after I got the mega distortion and I thought the DS1 sounded better. But I was juet a beginner, I didn't know how to dial in good tones and all that

[@jmacc9876]

Wow. The ds 1x sounds really good here. I'll have to check it out.

[@ericritter228]

Righton, Ola! A DS1 in front of a Marshall was one of the old school recipes for high gain. I picked up an old beat up DS1 awhile back for that reason. It makes my Vintage/Modern more gooder.

[@DustinAlford]

I can attest Ds-1 + a Marshall slays.

[@Juni41]

I'll save you some time. Scarlett 2i2 usb recording interface. Sm57 and a small stand. A quiet room. A laptop. Then whatever audio interface you wanna use. I use audacity which is free. Sometimes I dont even pull out the scarlet and sm57. I have a 50 dollar ATR usb mic that I sometimes use straight from usb to laptop to record demos when I get an idea for a song

guitar -> audio interface -> Reaper with free amp sim and IR loader with free IRs. This is the easiest and cheapest route.

[@AlexJohnson-wh3ih]

Ola englund, I love to see you. U inspires me to practice

[@Unknown-bd9ss]

Awesome Ola!

[@christebo7305]

Very helpful. Another idea is to AB with the original DS-1? I almost got rid of my DS-1. Japan made early to mid 80s. Just wasn't the sound I was going for. Then I discovered Joe Satrianni goes through the clean channel of a Marshall with his DS-1... lol So it has a place but maybe not so much for what I go for. Funny how applying a pedal or amp in another direction can change your view. I bought a Tremoverb based on your advice last year. It's been stellar so far. Thank you!

[@soockamasook2001]

The Ds-1x, my absolut favorite Distorsion pedal ❤

[@Pointyish]

Most underrated pedal. Exactly what it sounds like. I run my jube on clean, master on 8, hit it with the ds1x. Best tight singing, smooth lead sound with tons of valve harmonics. Od1x is excellent also, tons of boost for the Jubes gain channel. Both tighten up the sound perfectly.

[@esposoman]

About underrated pedals.. Boss ODB3 Bass Overdrive has a bad reputation but IME is an excellent bass overdrive pedal if you know what are you doing with the knobs.. (specially with the gain anb blend).

Damn fine chugs my man. Hey, you should check out the MXR Dookie distortion pedal, it's supposed to be the Greenday Dookie album sound in a pedal but it has a wide range, from subtle crunch to flat out shredness. I was able to get it chugging pretty good but I'm curious what you could make it do.

I had one of these for about six months and didn't get one fitting sound out of it. So I sold it and kept on using my good old standard DS-1.
