HNPD!
I have never been a big fan of Distortion pedals, but always thought there was something missing with my sound. I was thinking of buying a mooer pedal but didn't want to spend £60, so seeing the Boss-DS1 at £39.... it will be rude not to.
To me the Boss-DS1 sounds ok on low disortion but blend it with a BD-2 or OD-3 and it's tone heaven. It's a great pedal but need's a decent amp to plug into.

Congrats on finding a pedal that you like. I've been using one for quite a long time and sometimes it really just fits right, and it does combine with other pedals pretty well. Rock on!

Ha! Tele-ish now inbound.
It's a classic!

I'll use a Tube Screamer-type pedal in front of my other dirt pedals with the drive turned all the way down (or almost all the way) and the volume turned up. Seems to add some midrange and harmonics to the other pedals. If you have one, try it and see what you think!
