Yesterday I tested my pedals side By side. Here's a short review
Boss DS-1:
What can I say about this one that has not been said before. Plenty of distortion when dimed. I did not find anything special tones when I dialed the distortion down. To Me this pedal is perfect for thrash metal and other styles when one needs plenty of distortion.
Ibanez Sonic Distortion Mod:
This one has less gain than the DS-1 when gain is dimed. Then there's the gain boost switch. When turned on the level of distortion is similar to the DS-1. Then there's the mid boost switch. When turned on there's a noticable boost in the mids. I find the mid boost is good in a good way not nasal. Overall I find this pedal similar to the Boss one.
Ibanez Tubescreamer 9 Dx:
In the normal mode it is the normal Tubesceamer. It has three other modes. The two middle ones are bit different than the normal mode, but in the turbo mode it has plenty of gain. I found it bit similar like the Soul Food when it has the gain dimed.
