I saw Nirvana open for Tad in 1989 or 90 at Maxwells in Hoboken New Jersey. Kurt smashed his guitar at the end of the set so me and my friend helped him pick up the pieces scattered across the floor. We talked as we helped him. He was very friendly and cool. Maybe 50 people were there

@ithemba 2 года назад

The magic of the turbo distortion lies in the frequency boost they added to the classic Ds1 (which is mode 1 on the pedal) and which is quite similar to the HM2 actually. That's what makes it brutal as Ola said. It's a criminally underrated pedal.

About Kurt. He did use the ds2 as a replacement after his ds1 broke, but during the in utero era he mainly used a sans amp

@Aniki82 2 года назад

I'm almost sure he had both of them, not sure why he kept the ds2

@nkogliaz 2 года назад

Yeah I forgot about the period the sans amp was employed, I could have sworn it was during the 'In Utero' record, but I stand corrected, I've actually got both of them, I haven't looked at the Earnie Bailey 'Kurt's Equipment' in years, but he has all of that information listed on there and it's quiet fascinating for people into Nirvana / Kurt's rig, those MESA racks he used back them instead of Marshall heads (Kurt hated Marshall because of hair metal bands in the 80's) are crazy rare now and very pricey!

Thanks to this video, Ola, I gave the DS-2 a whirl into my FX Loop return… and my goodness! It’s a metal machine! I used to always put it in front of the amp for Frusciante style leads/solos and it’s wild and unruly… so I never considered a metal application for it till now… I kind of like it as a preamp pedal more than I do my REVV G3, and that’s a high bar to clear! Thank you for trying this out!

During the Bleach Era and or before it is said somewhere that Kurt used a Randall amp as his go to amp before moving to a Fender Bassman,Vox AC-30 (him and Pat Smear were Beatles fans), and Mesa Boogie / Marshall, It has been said that on mode 1 the DS-2 has simular circuitry as the original MIJ Boss DS-1.

I once went to a guitar store (I played guitar at that time for maybe 2-3 years, so at that point in time I was *HEAVILY* and I mean *HEAVILY* into Metallica). I wanted to check out an amp that I wanted but they didn't have it. A guy told me though, that they had this Kustom Defender head and cab combo for around the same price. So I tried it. It a single channel head with just volume control so I couldn't crank it and asked for a distortion pedal. The store clerk geve me a ds-2 and holy shit, I was so in love with that pedal. I spent like 2 hrs just playing metallica (badly) through this pedal. Hearing it now, fuck yeah, I still love it. I'd even get it, but I don't own, and I never even have, bought an amp (still to this day lmao) and nowadays just play through plugins. Edit: that was like 8 years ago.
