This ds1 really gets better with the waza treatment. Less harsh, (or more if you get back to classic mode). It's less noisy. Does the garage tone even better.

Two excellent pedals in one
Jkeating 23.02.2024
With both the custom and classic modes, you really have two distinct distortion pedals in one. Everyone knows the classic DS1 sound, but the custom setting is a different beast with a more pronounced mid-range and fuller overall sound. I find myself using the custom 90% of the time, but it is good to have the classic DS1 circuit in the same pedal.
