I previously did a video on the Boss DS-1, which was, like many others, my first guitar pedal. And also like other people, I found it a bit harsh sounding. But was I using it wrong? I have since learned that I may not have been using the pedal in the way it was originally intended.
In this video, I look into how the Boos DS-1 distortion pedal should be used to get the best tones out of it. But will it make any significant difference?
Some footage was filmed while I was visiting New York so look out for some famous NY locations.
