I originally thought this was a piece of junk, but I decided to try it again with my second amp, my Vox 2x10 Mini-Stack.
It still sounds like junk, but when you run it into a Tubescreamer type device, this time into a Tubeulator, it seems to tame the harshness of the pedal it it gives you this creamy overdrive sound with super long Santana type sustain. I just have to figure out how to adapt it so it can run on a standard power supply, and I may try adding into my chain. My DS1 does not produce this kind of distortion.
I'm finding more and more that for me pedals don't stand alone. They seem to run best in different combinations.
