I second Dave. even if playing thru the same axe and amps, 2 different players will never produce the same tone.


the DS-1 is a really versatile pedal, for blues, keep the gain of the pedal to less than 50% and cut the hi-end to emphasis the mids - select the position of the pickup on your axe that suit the song.

that being said, some players still sounds very bluesy regardless of playing at full gain or crystal clean. it all depends on what type of blues song you are playing.

if it sounds (and feel) good to you, stick to it.

hope this helps.

have fun finding your tone and good luck :)
