.I have several Boss pedals and this one might just be a lemon. It was noisy from the time I plugged it in. Big disappointment.

.I like the sound of this pedal better than the Metal Zone pedal. I'm not sure if this will be the last distortion pedal I buy as far as the sound I'm going for. I do think it was a little over priced which is why I'm giving it 4 stars.

.if you like the ds-1 and the ds-2,you will love the ds-1x. It cost more, but it has a clarity that the ds-1 and the ds-2 is lacking. They are all great pedals, and sound very close to each other, but if ur in the market for a new boss distortion and have the money to spare, try this. All 3 pedals have that classic boss distortion that's so famous, but this one sounds a little clearer.

.I am not a fan of most standalone distortion pedals, but this pedal is not too bad! I use an Egnater Rebel 30, through the Egnater stock cab on a PRS Santana SE on Lindy Fralin PAFs.
What I like the most about this pedal is you just plug it in - I barely had to play with the knobs. Has pretty descent tone for the price. I have tried so many different pedals, but this has a clarity to it I really like.
Going from pedal off to pedal on, is very smooth - you don't feel like you've just overwhelmed the channel you are on. EQ is reasonable, and the roll off is very acceptable. Also, unlike some other pedals I have tried, there is sustain for days on it.
My first love is a Marshall DSL 100 watt head - but I do have to say that this is just fine! No complaints really at all.
