Ibanez DS7 Tone Lok Distortion PedalThe most versatile Ibanez distortion ever, the DS7 is capable of producing a wide range of smooth, dynamic overdrive tones. From a subtle tonal nudge to walloping rock 'n roll crunch, the DS7 delivers days of sustain and gobs of gain. Feature: The lock in button comes in very useful for live situations. The activation light could be made a litte bigger as it is hard to see in certain lighting conditions. Quality: Well built, in strong metal casing. My only problem with this pedal is the circuitry noise. Value: I think BOSS have a better pedal in the DS-1. I dont think this quite lives up the standards on the DS-1 but its well on the way. Desirability: I have it hooked up to my zoom 707 multi-effect processor, it is perfect putting these together, as the zoom and a range very nice phaser and flange effects, which can be modfied with extensivly with this pedal Sound: There is way to much natural noise coming off the circuitry which nakes it very difficult for good quality recording. (Speaking from experience) Overall: I choose this pedal for its easy to use preference, but is not ideal for recording. I am currently looking for a new pedal to do that, tho this is a very good live situation pedal. guitar fx box |
