I was 15 and it was 1992. I was into Nirvana. I saved up enough money from my paper route to buy my first pedal. Someone told me that “Come as you are” used a thing called “Flanger” so I got a Boss Flanger BF-2. I still have it, and now it’s considered “vintage” which sorta hurts.

You are turning into one of my absolute favorite YouTubers! Your content feels very realistic and you make things seem approachable! You are outstanding!

[RhettShull]

Thanks for the shoutout man! The DS-1 sounds great under your hands.

[Juliosguitarstuffs]

Dude, you’re like the perfect guitarist to take notes on to break my post beginner/intermediate stuck in a rut phase! You bridge the gap to being a pro! Keep it up!

And the JHS Morning Glory is a pedal I will never let go, even with a Helix as my whole rig.

My first pedal was a DS-1. Used it for a little while and then replaced it. Rediscovered the DS-1 a few years ago and couldn’t believe how good it could sound if you take the time to dial it in!

[Viper-dzkw]

I got three pedals at once, a Blue Box, a Bass Big Muff, and a Boss Bass Chorus, the chorus is the only one left and it’s my secret weapon, literally everything sounds amazing through it

[ianharris]

My first pedal was the DS-1 bought in 79, still have it, nice to see it’s now being appreciated..

[aniquinstark]

You can never go wrong with boss pedals. Very affordable and they pretty much make one of everything

[andycasile]

Thank you for highlighting how good this pedal is at lower gain settings! My first pedal was nearly a DS-1, but I ended up with a Jimi Hendrix Wah pedal that a sold a few years back. I remember being similarly clueless going to the store - every one of us has had that moment!

[ThePlaySpace-CurtainCall]

The Boss DS-1 is the past, present and future. It was the first distortion peddle I ever owned and I kept coming back to it after trying others. It does everything you need, no matter what you need. It just sounds perfect, no matter what guitar or amp you pair it with. Add to all that, you can throw Boss peddles against a wall and they still work. I'll never use anything else.

[chrischamberlain]

My first pedal was.a Boss Tremelo and I still have it. Bought it after hearing R.E.M.’s Monster album.

[FLOSSDOGG]

My 1st distortion pedal, hell my 1st pedal I ever owned was the original version of the Boss DS-1. But I haven't used it In a while. I'm currently using the Friedman BE-OD for my overdrive tone. I tried this pedal years ago in a guitar center and fell in love with its sound. It will probably never leave my signal chain.

[BlueJayWaters]

First pedal was obviously DS-1 just like everybody else lol. First one I bought though was a Vox repro wah, and ended up trading it about a year after. Only have two pedals now, a soul food overdrive and a ditto looper. And that'll be all I ever use for my music at this time. But seeing that orange box always brings back nostalgia. Just like that fender strap in your videos. Everyone had them when they started out

[joemeyer]

Mine was a Fuzz Face @ 1972 😂. Yes, Stank Face in 1972.

[shamsheed]

I still use that pedal in my setup after almost 20 yrs live. Most songs, I just leave it on and turn the volume knob down til you get a nice clean tone with that little bit of grit. And with a good booster pedal behind it, reverb, it’s a great pedal. Very versatile

[derfgerps]

This was the first gain pedal I ever got when I was 13 and I ended up gravitating to the the rat for the distortion I wanted but when I returned to the ds-1 to mess with it it blew me away the versatility this thing holds as a boost in front of your favorite amp settings. No classic pedal has surprised me as much as this one.

[rubievale]

My first was a EHX Muff Fuzz. It's not a Big Muff, but rather a little rectangular box with one knob and an on/off switch. I got it back in the late 70's I think and it blew my mind. It was pure, unadulterated filth and I loved it. I still have it but I don't really have a use for it currently.

[graydenday]

My very first pedal was a cheap Ibanez Tube Screamer when I was 15. My friend gave it to me. Very nice of him.

[jessemccree]

My first pedal was a big muff and I'll keep loving it 'til the day I die :)

[arthurrone]

The DS-1 is a must have! I've had mine for about 10 years and I can't help but use it in every iteration of of my pedal rig that I've done.
