This was my main distortion from 2007-2012 until I got my 1st tube amp. A few years later I revisited it and put it through my tube amp and loved it again. Still use it here and there. I always say it's the DS1, with the mids it lacks and without the buzzsaw harsh top end. It is absolutely fantastic.
Just subscribed! What a thick/sick tone your getting out of the DS-2 and going into a clean amp too boot! Like you...I'm Not a huge fan of the DS-1 either. Have kind of moved on from them, but you sold me on the DS-2....a vintage one is incoming as we speak. Cheer man....great video!!!
