First some background, I'm kinda a pedal nut. I've bought and sold literally dozens of pedals, many of them some kind of distortion, fuzz, OD, etc. Its a hobby, addiction, whatever you wanna call it, I've owned way too many of these things.One of my least favorite pedals was the Boss DS-1. Sure, it was inexpensive and extremely durable, but it sounded lousy. It was a noisy, brittle, fake sounding tone, and I didn't find a likeable sound no matter the settings or what guitar or amp I was running it through. Long story short I had it modded into a particular Marshall overdrive circuit and its now fantastic as it sounds nothing like the stock models.So imagine my surprise when I get a used DS-2 for a steal on ebay and its actually a good pedal! This pedal does what the DS-1 was SUPPOSED to do but failed at: Its a good, general purpose distortion. Its not a super saturated sound, but its a likable tone that's far more full than the DS-1 ever got. Also unlike the DS-1, it sounds great on every amp I've tried it on (one of which seems to hate boss pedals, so I was very impressed by that).Its not a metal distortion, but for classic rock crunch, this pedal does just fine. I actually stacked it up against my script era MXR Distortion + and I was able to dial in a tone that sounded very similar, if just a touch less transparent.All in all, a great, versatile little pedal that does exactly what its supposed to do. If you're thinking of buying a DS-1, skip it, this thing is worth the little bit of extra cash, it is easily ten times the pedal.POST SCRIPT EDIT (3-16-12): I won ANOTHER DS-2 off ebay for a ridiculous steal again, this time one made in Japan. GOOD NIGHT! The Japanese ones are amazing! Its like having a Marshall stack on the floor! I mean these new ones are good pedals (esp compared to the new DS-1s) but the Japanese ones are flat out amazing. I can only assume the Japanese DS-1s are similarly impressive, and if so, I can finally understand how that pedal ever got the reputation it for some reason still carries. Grab a Japanese one if you can (and prepare to have your face melted!), if not, the new ones are still a fine pedal.

It's a blasphemy to say this, but the DS-2 Turbo Distortion is, in every aspect, superior to the classic Boss orange distortion unit DS-1.I was really surprised. The two distortion modes (Turbo I and Turbo II) are indeed clearly different between them, the II being more powerful, the I a little bit smoother. You can even get a overdrive effect pretty easily.The price is incredible low for suich a potent and satisfactory unit. I simply replaced my old faithful DS-1 in my pedal board after five years of use...

Works well depending on the sound you're looking for. For playing grunge sounding stuff like Nirvana it works quite well, as this is the pedal used for some of their songs.Note... it does NOT come with an AC wall adapter. You have to buy one yourself if you want it. I recommend the One Spot 9V adapter as it is reported to last longer than the BOSS adapters that you can buy. I have one and have not had any problems yet.
