This Distortion Pedal Deserves More Attention

The DS1 is the main pedal I use on my rig. Definitely the most versatile.

You can go from boost to fuzz almost

Is it good for metal ?

Nothing about that pedal is underrated.

RAT will always be the best

Never thought of using it as an overdrive..

Might have to try that.

I think the SD-1 is of more value. DS-1 is only good for mid-scooped distortion. The SD-1 is a much more useable sound across the board.

how the fuck is this pedal underated bro every guitar player i know owns or has owned one lol

I play bass but I love these videos you make😊

You should do a video on frank zappa

Idk i like the ds1 in the situations where it works just those situations are very rare for me

Nice Kurt Cobain wallpaper ya got there.

Next video why the fender strat is the most underrated guitar shape

My dude your guitar face is funny don't you dare change it you are who you are don't let people hurt you you will do great and I promise you will do not break this habit if you do you can't go back keep doing what you love

The most popular distortion pedal ever? Is the most underrated? Do your homework and expand your horizons.

Not slamming the pedal but mine sucked and it was never loud enough. Had level maxed and it still wasn’t in unity with my clean channel. Tried a friends and had the same problem

The DS-1 is like the first pedal everyone gets

the ds1 is literally the most popular pedal to have ever been made what?

Ah yes. Why the unpopular and fringe DS-1 used by unpopular and unknown musicians Kurt Cobain, John Frusciante, and Steve Vai

That ocd pedal sounds so much fatter. The ds-1 is great but always sounds a bit thin.

Early 90's, probably Rip magazine, had a reprint interview with pre fame Nirvana. Talking on gear they wrote EF-1 as the distortion pedal he used.
I spent a long time looking for a pedal that didn't exist probably because somebody sloppily transcribed a poor quality audio recording that said DS-1.
Ah, the mythical EF-1. If only I had that, the power it holds, I would be unstoppable.

I've never owned a distortion pedal. Never understood that. If you love your amp you don't need it.

been using since release (I am old) and consider this the most indispensable pedal in existence.

I actually have a anniversary edition in black that I love and will never get rid of lol

DigiTech Distortion Factory is an actual underrated pedal.

3 tone knobs? maybe in a modded version…

is it good for metal?

Boss sucks, DOD all the way!

It can be a great pedal, but most beginners would be better off with a RAT or RAT clone due to the versatility they have. The DS1 really shouldn't be the first thing always recommend to new players.

I have a boss ds-1

Please next vid on how to get 70s tone 🙏

Y’know what other pedal people don’t talk about enough? The ZOOM G1X multi-effects processor. I’ve had the thing a couple months and it’s now my main pedal.

????????????????????? UNDERRATED HOW????????

Malcolm mclaren??? 😂

THIS PEDAL CAUSES ME SO MUTCH PROBLEMS

“underrated” bro😭

Dude, it’s the best selling effect pedal of all-time. Just because the boutique hipsters don’t know how to use it, doesn’t mean it’s underrated

I love how this kid is still pretty new at guitar and wants to teach people on here like he's some kind of guru 😂

Who knew that keeping things reasonably priced is good

Lets keep it quiet i love my ds-1 had one for a very long time

More attention? Literally, every school rock band has it.

Hey I’m litterally right here

Under rated is a statement that is tossed around without it's actual meaning anymore. "Yo this is so under rated!" It's been out for 40+ years and sold 10 million units by 2007. This is almost everyone's first distortion pedal next to the RAT.

He is doing it for clicks….clicks, I tell you!

what amp do you use? is it already distorted?
-

3 "tone knobs"....disqualified!

Rat>DS-1

I am personally more a ds2 kinda guy but ds 1 is not bad at all means

You gotta admit, for knowing as little as he does he gets really creative with video topics

Painted over the OCD symbol because you don’t like what they stand for?

That is literally like the most famous guitar petal ever. I just started playing a couple of months ago and nobody will shut up about the thing. This video is like saying water is underrated.
