You asked for it! The DS-1
Most awesomely shitty pedal of all time! I love it!
olaaaaaaa ! yay
Ola Englund 1.21 GIGAWATTS !!!
Ola Englund I’m glad your thumb is ok so you can play once again
Sounds pretty punk to be fair.
imagine hearing this for the first time in 1978 though
There was no other
Youd proper shit your pants!
Maybe that's how bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest were born? I'm no expert but the timeline checks out. Scientists created pedals that chugged and metal was born. Oddly enough 1978 was also the year of the ProCo Rat.
Has everyone forgotten that fuzz pedals were around for over a decade? It was also well-known that using a Treble Booster into amps and fuzzes would give a tight distortion sound.
People in 1978 listening to sultans of swing be like "what the actual heck"
It ALWAYS chugs. Don't you get it man? The chug...is in you
The chug is in the 5150
@@niallooo not in the clean channel that he's using, it isn't.
It didn't chug
What does "chug" mean. Could you explain? Thanks
@@samrotschild Watch the video where he plays the Apex Preamp and listen to the differences
Ola: *plugs into an english muffin*
Ola: "Will it chug?"
Muffin: *Chugs*
That's the name of a real pedal...
@@ProCoRat EHX baby
Hahahahah
Please someone make a pedal called English muffin
do not like his comment
got here searching for guides to beat a Dark Souls 1 Boss, video got me to pull my guitar out that I haven't touched in like 2 years.
What boss was it though?
Chris G Ornstein and Smough-la from Prepare to Chug Edition
Haha yeah, searching "ds1 boss" will do that
Thats funny I bought dark souls because I was looking for a ds1 mod
You still playin?
The ds-1 was actually made to be layered on top of a slightly dirty amp, like a crunchy plexi, so that they could get distortion without blowing everyone’s head off. Most people hate this pedal because they say it sounds like shit, but they use it as more of a “amp in a box” type thing which it’s not. It’s more of a heavily colored boost that pushes the amp hard.
Hope this helped at least one of you guys understand how to truly use this pedal. Cheers 🍻
I got this pedal yesterday hoping it would just make my clean tone sound chuggy but figured this out toying around honestly really like the pedal using it the way you said
@andre I tried it the way you’re saying and need to experiment more with it that way. I’m not sure if I tried one in the late 70’s, everybody was telling me to get a Rat at the time so that’s what I did. Late last summer or early this year is the first time I bought and really tried one. Found one for $35. I actually like the tones with the gain and tone lower-has a nice low to mid gain overdrive and doesn’t squash the low end like a Tube Screamer does. Full gain with tone to taste is a little like fuzz. My theory is-see what a pedal does on its own first. A pedal really should stand on its own and it does that but only to a point. It’s pretty scooped so when add mids on a graphic EQ it’s better. I’ll try it with a little gain some more. Thanks!
its funny how the Metalzone works better as an amp-in-a-box than the DS1 does haha.
exactly...thats the way its made to be used...with a dirty amp nt clean.
It stacks beautifully with a BOSS SD-1. That combo intio an amp on the edge of breakup is a beautiful thing.
You plugged it into a 5150, of course it's gonna chug.
True
i was thinking the exact same thing! 🤪 try it with a $100 amp and show us the real pedal sound 🤣🤣🤣
He uses the clean channel
try with belcat ampli 😆
I plug it into a fender hot rod deluxe and it chugs pretty nicely
"Without you guys....... I'd probably make this video anyways."
At least he's honest lol
Nirvana - Endless, Nameless - Live At The Paramount
Best DS1 tone
He actually usef a ds2 at that gig if you looked closely. But it's an amazing tone too
@@spiritoftime8464 Well, yeah, but he never turned on the turbo, so it's basically the same thing
@@randomguy263 not true, they are different circuits all together
@@randomguy263 common misconception
Type O Negative
The DS-1 sounds decent so long as you keep the tone knob pretty low. You need an overdrive in front as a boost if you want to chug, though.
You can also use the DS-1 as a boost for an amp with decent results
I like having a EQ in front of a ds-1 to boost low end, and mid frequency. I keep the time knob on the ds-1 at around 2/3 o'clock.
Got um both yellow n orange ds1 sd1are the years there made signifigant?
I made one chug without any kind of boost
Guys, just place these pedals on the next chain: Boss CS3 compressor + Boss DS1 Distortion + Boss GE7 Equalizer. you won't need anything else to make it sound as you wanted.
I thought this was a beer-chugging series, no?
How Irish are you?
I'm sure there was many beers drunk that night for Ola.
I mean, it certainly "could" be...
Do they drink beer in Sweden? I thought that was vodka country.
@@xangrycatmanx5104 yes
Make a "Chug Norris" Ola Signatur Pedal 🤘😎
I'd buy
Great idea
Here... Take it 👉👑
🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻
😂
For years I've thought this pedal had the perfect amount of gain. You could have more, you could have less, but with a DS1, I always felt you could get this sweet "just right" vibe :)
"Where we're going, we don't need Rhoads"?
Not so Suhr about that ...
Pannemat most agile! Cheers!
Just a side note, Peter Steele from Type O Negative ran his bass through a Boss DS-1 for his distorted stuff. I currently use mine instead of a TubeScreamer to boost my signal for almost all my guitar tracks. Good vid, mate. Nice to see the DS-1 get some love.
Al Cisneros of Sleep uses it too.
@@ripdeth didnt know that. That explains a lot about their sound. Gives me some more appreciation for Sleep
My parents (about 20 years ago) got me a bass but I really wanted a guitar. 50 bucks later, distorted bass. Played that mfkr like a guitar lol
Sweet. Makes me want it more. I'm getting 1
Dang I started using one as a boost for my bass too just to get more tone out of it
Satriani used that pedal to make "surfing with the alien", of course it´s good.... :D
Oh we know the pedal is good, but does Satriani chug? No, he does not.
Now I need it
Actually, his Satchurator is based on DS1, so if the boss chugs, the Satch pedal should as well.
@@SlyMan420 He does not chug, he shreds.
The issue is the tone control. You can have no high end and a muddy low end below 12 o’clock, and no low end and fizzy high end above 12
Digitech Death Metal *>* Acoustic Sim *>* Roland Jazz Chorus..... *will it chug??*
Paul Leach jazz chorus integrated distortion is atrocious
bwahahahaha
Finally....
Jazz Chorus built in dist is no good. Pedal dist into jc will sound better
My 'JCM120' is fuckin brutal with ISP Theta preamp/distortion!
Found out by accident, lol
I’ve always considered the DS-1 more of a highly aggressive overdrive. Sounds best for lead playing.
That's Nasty metal swap core sounding and I love it. From the swamps of FL death metal, I approve
Florida Death metal has my heart
That sort of broken low mid distortion setting you got out of it really gave me Bolt Thrower vibes, definitely chugged
boss ds-1 definitely chugs especially for a first pedal
It definitely is a great pedal, there's a reason so many top guitarists use them. Some people who think it sucks don't get how to use it right. Like if it's a beginner guitarist with a ds-1 and practice amp they use it incorrectly and forever think its bad. Like with small solid state amps you need to turn the volume on the pedal way down and turn up the amp volume, otherwise the ds-1 can overdrive the practice amp, which sounds terrible with bad solid state amps. Keep the volume on the pedal way down and it can sound glorious even with that kinda set up. Or just eventually get a tube amp and it will sound great.
@@duffman18 They are like 15-20 usd at pawn shops, so I'd agree that for a first pedal this is a great choice.
@@duffman18 You mean Ola is using it wrongly?
@@tommykaira8775 no because he made it sound good. Granted he could probably make anything sound good. But even so that's just because he's using it properly. It's like his video about the Metal Zone, and he made that thing sound fantastic, just simply by having sensible settings and plugging it in the effects loop instead of through the front. These pedals get shit on a lot by snobs and people who don't know what they're talking about, and also people who own boutique pedal companies and want to rip you off. But Ola actually knows what he's doing, and he's the furthest thing from a snob. He goes by the rule, "it it sounds good, it IS good". Which is the only rule in music that matters.
@@duffman18 damn true
I've watched about five of the "Will it Chug?" videos and you have been able to get them all to chug. This leads me to believe that you are just so good at tuning audio equipment that you can make anything chug. Maybe even the "Rainbow Machine" by EarthQuaker Devices?
Or the equipment he tests are all for rock and metal and chug regardless. Turning up the one single level knob takes absolutely zero expertise at all. Its what it was designed to do: provide distortion, and in other cases: overdrive. Distortion= what makes things chug. There is literally nothing special about Ola, sorry to burst your bubble
He was unable to make Dark Matter chug.
Tone to the max, distortion to the minimum, and you got yourself a perfect overdrive
Sounds like shit
You'll need to mod it to make it a good overdrive. Though, just buy a SD1 instead.
Ever since Fluff demo'd that Crossroads pedal, I'm shocked when someone says 'this is my clean tone' and it's ACTUALLY CLEAN.
That bastard gave me a complex I swear.
I love Boss pedals. The SD-1 is still my favorite and on my pedal board.
i’ve got the most basic generic setup. a ds1 into just a generic fender amp. i play an ibanez rg series and i’ve always thought it sounded pretty good. i can play muse with it, slipknot, van halen, even some amon amarth sounded pretty damn good
Wtf every part of this comment is me rn
Slipknot you say? I just got this pedal and kindly ask you on how to achieve that slipknot sound. I'd really appreciate it.
@@eliplaysguitar4634 bruh this is so weird that's exaclty my setup too lmao
This was my first setup in 2006: RG->DS-1->Solid state fender amp
My man, use an IR loader. Will sound 10000000x better.
This was my first pedal back in 1993. Loved it.
this tone sounds like the snare drum from St Anger...solid 6/10
Lmao
For 1978, that's not too bad haha
lmao gottem
When Ola started the "Oh shit it actually sounds good" all i can think about is a guy born and rised in Sweden in the 80s... This is like his kindergarden lullaby.
The classic High School Tone
Got this pedal a few months ago. Really pleased with the sound I got. I kept the tone at about 9 - 10 o'clock otherwise it would sound fizzy.
I’ve used this pedal for years and I must say it sounds great
It definitely chug if you wanna play some 70/80's hard rock or grunge.
Grunge was 90’s. Thank goodness it stayed and died there quickly
@@AudaciousAce1989 You are absolutely right. Grunge sucks.
Wow clean signal..not unlike certain bearded youtuber :P
Ho boy...it's the Clean Tone Police...
Don't call it that 😂
@@sylfan1 Yet he always forget to rectify his rectum clean.
Lol i agree with you normally. But this is actually pretty clean. It’s weird that people are actually siding with fluff about his clean tone though.
this made me laugh a little too hard
I used to use the DS1 as overdrive for the gain of my JCM900 it sounded great. I used to rock dimarzio evolutions on a jackson RR1 I loved that setup for 80s metal sometimes I even mixed a little bit of the boss overdrive for extra drive and still very natural valves sound for my taste.
I originally got my DS-1 a few years back for Nirvana covers and always loved it. I've recently found that the same settings I use for Nirvana covers boosted with my Ibanez TS-9 has a pretty nice old school death metal sound. Max distortion and level with the tone around eleven o'clock on the DS-1 and no gain, tone at 11 o'clock, and max level on the TS-9. You can max the tone on the DS-1 as well for super chainsaw.
It was my first distortion pedal when I was seventeen..Now I'm almost 45 and I still keep it in a drawer at home for sentimental reasons.... It works on bass if you plug it in some kind of looper with blend control.
Can you explain this? Over my head.
Ola: *unleash the 7 hells of chugness brutality*
Also: Nah. Needs more chug...
best review ever: "wow shit"
Your clean amazes me everyday, wish mine sounded like this
Well, I used to play Slayer with one so for sure!
One of Steve Vai's favorite petal. Now you just need the Carvin amp
Did Steve use the DS-1 into the Clean Channel in his Carvin X-100B, or into the Dirt Channel, and use the DS-1 as a boost?
Vai used his as a boost, just like Satriani.
David Smith it's not fair to compare anything Steve Vai does with the rest of us mortals
He went into the lead channel of the legacy with it. Many vids on his rigs with this pedal
paul andrews Steve vai is pretty mortal. Don’t put a man on a pedestal just because of his skills.
The DS1 was a great pedal. I still have a certain fondness for it. Nostalgic moment :)
This is the pedal that Grave used, of course it's going to chug! But you knew this Ola! Badass video regardless. Love this pedal just as much as the HM-2.
Bought my DS-1 1979, it has served me well throughout the years.
Ooohhh... Want this 5150 😜. This is Spooky... I bought a DS1 and DS2 some days ago. Like the Metal Core Pedal... 🤔
i started playing about a year ago and this is my only pedal used with a peavey vyper vip 1 amplifier and i absolutely love this pedal. definitely a good first pedal to start out with
Heard what you did there playing “River Dragon has Come” by Nevermore! One of the heaviest riffs I have ever heard in metal. Nicely done sir.
I’m old and I don’t really chug, but I love my DS-1! I can get all kinds of tonz out of it! Keep the tone below noon to avoid the can of bees, run it into a nice tube amp, on the edge of breakup and there are a lot great sounds to be had from it! I own two of them.
Are you planing to do a video on Bolt Thrower sound?
@J Thorsson YES
To get the proper tone u also have to do the bass setup, otherwise it doesn't sound right.
That would be freaking awesome, yes yes yes!
YES!
Yes please
you'd love the Boss Keeley-modded DS-1, it really does kick ass
Love the way he looks around when hes thinking..or listening..or confused..or whatever..
The DS-1 as well as the OD-1X Overdrive were my first guitar pedals and they're still my main go-tos on my pedalboard (alongside my EHX Big Muff Pi fuzz pedal)
Give the DF-2 Distortion Feedbacker pedal a try. It's a fun pedal that when activated, you sustain a note and hold down the pedal to create overtones that mimick feedback. It can be useful.
This is so much fun to watch - considering back in the day we all tried to get the heaviest sounds by turning up bass and treble to max and completely scoop the mids.
Which is why distortion pedals sounded like cheap secondhand shit.
All it takes is good pickups with the right style mids, and basically any old distortion pedal will CHUG like a thing possessed! I love my vintage Tokai beasts for instance - just the thing for a sunny afternoon of METAL MAYHEM 🤘😎🤘
I have been using this pedal for years. Love it.
I really enjoy your videos. Thanks
With the gain at half and boosting it with an overdrive, those sound pretty cool.
That is what I do with mine, to me the pedal sounds horrible on its own, but with a overdrive added sounds amazing.
If you play the ds1 through the fx loop it acts as a pre amp and you get a better tone, the ds 1 was my 1st pedal many years ago, and figuring that loop trick out opened up a new world
your comedy keeps me coming back
Honestly its a great pedal to combine with the amplifier and everything becomes agresive i think is a overdrive more than a distortion pedal great video man
There's something in the lower mids that I REALLY like. I also own a 6505, time to get one of those I guess, thanks!
Boss TU-3
Will it chug?
Lol. Tuner hah
Chug in tune? Yes.
ive owned this pedal like a year and never tried it seriously. i wasn't able to get a decent sound from it.
im clad that you had a first video in youtube search. Thanks ola :D
using: Jackson JS32TQ Dinky AH TBK and Bugera 333xl infinium w/ laney 4x12
yeah now its chuging. and djenting.
on crunch channel as a booster.
cool !
Waiting to see you play one of your 8's , hope all is good with you!! Cheers!
Punch Jensen for me, blame me, he will know who it is
I love this pedal, I used to use it for a little extra stank on my gain channel.
“S...t, i think it is chugging”
Comedic gold. These are the big questions of our day, lol.
That’s great!!! I really wanna see you testing the PRS MT-15!!!
One of the best pedals of all time along with the SD1 boost / overdrive. Especially since it was in the late 70d sadly 80s it was starting to be used. ♥️🤘♥️
The ds1 can be a pretty pleasing distortion if you’re not Looking to chug with palm muting. Strumming through power cords sounds great. I like this pedal for punk rock stuff
Nasum used DS-1 on some of their records. I use one as a sort of HM-2 clone. Has that buzzsaw tone, without the extreme mid-range that HM-2.
i’m convinced at this point that ola can just make anything chug
Just bought this pedal. Nice review
The most over and underrated pedal of all time!
this actually makes a lot of sense
most underrated? this is Cobain's pedal and this is the third place on Thomann
think of this like *the dark side of the moon* of pedals
the ds-1 is my favorite pedal for grunge
Been playing metal since '78 only pedals I've ever used is a ds1 or proco rat boosted with a tubescreamer,mxr eq and Morley wah played through a solid state 100 watt fender on clean channel.cant wait to try your new chug pedal....love your vids bro!!!
Ola, whats up freind, on both of your 2016 and 2017. Faer records your tone is unmatched and the sheer pick attack is sick, you've dime bags funk and mixed with one of the riff writing people ive ever heard...you....ola, those two records have blown my mind? The guitar is huge, not layered and muddy but huge, growling overdrive....what was your rig, tunings, pick..i truly think by listening to your work is evolution being made...and your young...more years to write..lol..im proud to be a member!!!!!
The DS-1 was my first pedal. I was so giddy... For a pedal! It sounds like ass on it’s own in my opinion but a decent boost on an already distorted channel. And that is how I use mine. Used in my Time solo cover video with my VH-4 if you’re curious to check it out. It’s on my channel.
Can you do a video on how to get Andreas kisser sound on the arise album specifically
I’ve had my DS-1 since like 1999 and love it. I’ve found I can get some super fuzzy doom metal sounds (think: Big Muff) with (plz don’t make fun) my telecaster, a compressor/sustainer, and combining it with the overdrive on my Fender Hot Rod Deluxe. Totally got it to chug like a monster. ❤ I love how defined it sounds.
My God!
I dont konw goodness of DS-1 until Ola Playing!
The Heavy boost this is !!
Totally thought it was Spongebob in my quick swiping through my recommended lol.
It farts!
2:52 Nevermore - The River Dragon Has Come
This was my first guitar pedal from 2005 or so. I still use it as an boost in front of my tube amp, it brightens things up a little bit or something.
How can a badass like the Boss DS-1 Not Chug??
Just remember this stomp box is what single-handedly saved us from disco!!?!☮
Okay I'm living in the Twilight Zone. I looked up a bunch of stuff about whether this pedal could do metal last night. And as SOON as I wake up, Ola makes a video about it.
Hi there chugger! You should try the Ibanez Trash Metal Soundtank pedal in these series... Trust me!
You're tone deaf. Please puncture your eardrums with a large screw driver thank you very much.
@@nibbadelicious3918 what? 😂😂😂
@@xalalalala I am picking on random fellow metalheads man. I broke my fucking back I can't play guitar for 6 months doctor said. I hate my fucking life. I wish I just died.
@@nibbadelicious3918 oh man sorry to hear that. I hope you'll get well soon enough. Take care man!
@@xalalalala Thanks man.. meanwhile I just watch others play. My friend insists I go to a concert with her in this condition. I can walk but not without severe pain. Let's see.
I love it as a boost and getting Motley Crue tones.
I love the look on your face every time you get something to do it. Haha
What pedal’s are good for THRASH METAL, Distortion, Overdrive, or Deathmeal pedal?
ds1+od(or any tube screamer) is a way better than deathmetal pedal
Try a distortion+. Will not disappoint, I promise.
Ah yes, my first pedal. Such a beautiful little thing
Mine 2 ...my first and last
Same here, but DS-2
My first pedal ever...I firmly believe that every beginner should own one of these; a step beyond the distortion button on a starter combo and at $40 it's financially achievable. I still use it :)
A classic and still the best!
Do a best of chugs and then shred with the bestest.
Reminds me of the tone from the Awake album by Dream Theater
Lmao ironic that a $80 stomp box could sound like that gigantic £4k+ Mesa Triaxis/IIC+ rig JP was using 😂
I immediately heard Lie when he started to chug lol
It sounded like that because Ola was chugging on a low B chord, the same as the riff of The Mirror, which was just a B chord chugged in different ways.
@@kennhern the guitar part is actually the exact same thing throughout the whole intro. The drums change around it to make you interpret it in different ways.
@@TheCoolSquare yeah nah, its accented differently
Nostalgic sound
A blast from the past
2:25 sounds close to weekend nachos tone and I’m all for it.
It sounds pretty good just lacks the overtone accentuation to make it C H U G
ahhhh my first pedal, was great for Smells Like Teen Spirit!
I actually really loved the tone... Precise and muddy at the same time, that's weird but it has a unique flavour and it has a form of brute sound that can clearly be used in metal. Interesting!
I'm using the DS1 as a booster for my Fender Jazz, I solved the problem of lack of volume, it's a fantastic pedal
