Boss DS-1

Ah... The BOSS distortion pedal. Used by many players but I didnt really care about the many players then.

I had a housemate who had it but he didnt like using it as he preferred his Metal Zone. My Zoom multieffects committed suicide on me (what a coward of a multieffects...) during a gig! so i made sure to use something else, something simple. So i borrowed his Ds1 which was gathering dust under his bed. Eventually after i kept borrowing it repeatedly, he gave it to me as a farewell gift! What a generous bloke! haha

Good reasonable distorted tone. Hey, Cobain used it on the first two Nirvana albums for recording and gigs.

This hasnt died on me yet. Though i still prefer the distorted tone of a raging valve amp. ROAR!!

EH Small Clone Chorus

My first real stompbox! (1st ever guitar effects was a zoom multi effects but i dont consider that as good for real stomping).


Bought it from Music Ground in Denmark Street in London. Ok I'll confess, I wanted the watery sound of "come as you are" and "teen spirit" so badly at the time. And i wanted the genuine route. Pretty simple pedal and as it is quirky like me so its just right for me. Lush analog chorus. great for thickening up your tone, adding warbly bubbles...



It died on me after two years (not during a gig, thank heavens). It took another two years before i organised myself to get it fixed. And the repairman used sticky tape to paste the receipt. Holy smokes!!! Its now called an ALL ONE chorus pedal!!!
