I keep the tone dial from about 10-11 o'clock position, any higher than that and it is very shrill and harsh. I also keep gain fairly low, from about 7-11 o'clock position, above that and it is a very noisy pedal. I have also found the DS1 sounds best if you roll off the volume on your guitar some, 7-8. It gets a thicker, but more defined tone.

So, it is a very fussy pedal, but when you get the settings right, it has a pretty great tone IMHO.

The Proco Rat is a good pedal, it is more of a fuzz pedal than distortion.]]> Live Sound Wes Inman https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/pedals-7/#post-323239 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/pedals-7/#post-322720 Sun, 08 Mar 2009 03:37:53 +0000

I had a multi effects board and tired of it fast.
my rig is stripped down to a few pedals. two are modded. my Turbo Tubescreamer was modded by analogman.
he customized it to what I wanted. cool. I love this thing now.
for now stick with pedals and tweak them. eventually you will know what you are after.
it took me years.]]> Live Sound dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/pedals-7/#post-322711 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/pedals-7/#post-322686 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 15:26:08 +0000

I checked out a few reviews of the small clone, eveyrone seems to say it sounds great but it can be hissy, or even make a pop when clicking it on, don't know if these people are elitist effects users or not though, could be a bit of an extreme review.
I've also been looking at the Electro-Harmonix Clone Theory (Chorus/Vibrato), again though, reviews of hiss when it's on.

After checking out reviews and some youtube demo's i'm edging away a bit from BOSS and hoping to get something like one of the Electro-Harmmonix pedals, i like the idea of a more analog-y sound to digital.]]> Live Sound cassidy https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/pedals-7/#post-322684 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/pedals-7/#post-322672 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 05:32:46 +0000

i've pretty much given up on the pod xt live now, not keen on buying more gear to make it gig friendly incase i still don't like it. i've gigged it once, sounded crap so i ended up just going right through the amp.

I've been looking at the proco rat 2 for a distortion pedal, i've been advised to stay away from BOSS?

Any ideas on a chorus pedal and some kind of boost for the rat?]]> Live Sound cassidy https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/pedals-7/#post-322665 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/pedals-7/#post-322664 Sat, 07 Mar 2009 02:33:21 +0000 it will make the pod "gig friendly"??]]> Live Sound almann1979 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/pedals-7/#post-322664
