If you’re familiar with the stock DS-1 pedal, its distortion is moderately heavy and its tone definitely accentuates the higher frequencies, especially as you increase the distortion control. This can make for some ice-pick piercing treble distortion, especially at louder band-practice and gig levels, which probably also explains the reason why Steve Vai and Joe Satriani set there unmodded DS-1s to relatively lower-gain settings and used the unit’s volume control more as a boost. All in all, the unmodified DS-1 sonically when used as the only source of distortion is more suited to that of the bedroom-player or user who wants the effect at lower volumes. Keeley Electronics’ Boss DS-1 SEM was designed to correct the original’s shortcomings both in tone and distortion quality. The intention of the DS-1 SEM was to not only increase the amount of gain available, but also make it usable, smoother gain through careful tuning of the tone control network.
