The last time I used DS-2 was ages ago, but I don't remember liking it, mainly because DS-1 has much more usefull tone control.

Yeah, "round" is exactly how I would describe it. Depending on how you set the level, you can get a Santana-like kind of sound. I love his tone. But definitely not distorted.

Maybe I can put my Behringer tube overdrive before my Death Metal pedal to smooth out the distortion? Had another distortion pedal, but I think my ex tossed a lot of my stuff before we separated...but I digress....witch! :(
