So all a DS1 can do is just make noise huh? What difference does it make if it sounds like a tube amp or not? I can see your point of view from a builder type, maybe, but from a musician type I don't. Keyword is 'subjective'. The DS1, to me, makes for a lovely boost. Much like a TS9 or BD2 just grittier. To use a DS1 with whatever amp you use may or may not work for whatever you are doing. To not even try it because it's only a $30 pedal is to bad really. Good tone can come from the oddest of places. Again, try one out. If you like it buy it. If you feel the need to impress others and not yourself then spend $300 on a boutique pedal that you might or might not like.
