NPD: It BAD@$$

[DKSEARS]

I have one in storage that I thought worked well in front of my Mesa Stiletto. I used it and the CBAOD for a few different flavors when that was my main amp. I would keep channel one on fat clean, and use the CBAOD for a little push when I needed it and channel 2 on Crunch then use the CBA78 to push it. Once in a while, I found the CBA78 worked well driving the clean channel, but it wasn't my favorite combination.

I can't wait to hear what you think about it in your other amps. No doubt some pedals are meant to be used into dirty, some into clean. I wonder what it would sound like in front off a Wampler amp in a box into clean, or even just a power amp?

You've even said yourself that the DS-1 is meant to hit the front end of an already overdriven amp.

I have said that, and stand by that statement. That said, it is a matter of taste. I'm sure there are some whop like a DS-1 into clean for distortion. Even I like an HM-2 into clean for low splatty grind! But many, if not most, agree the DS-1 is better pushing dirt, than making it.

I remember back in the old days when a pedal was classed as a distortion pedal it was usually intended to be used with a clean channel and when pedals were classed as overdrives or boosts it was usually for an already dirty sound that just needed more. Now a days we stack pedals and use them all kinds of ways. It is kind of fun to use things in various ways now a days and just see what comes of it.
