I had the Boss DS-1and loved it. The bx_distorange really does an incredible job capturing it. Cool play on words with the name too: distorange :)Great distortion for tracking
This is a nice piece of plugin. I do use it (plus my other PA pedal emulations) a lot. They sound great and the guitar will sit very nice in the total mix. I am so used to these pedals, that… Read Moreyes
very cool plugin was very usefulbx_distorange
Instant fuzz and grime. It has quite a digital sound, which I'm not even mad about, but it captures the tone of the original unit quite well.Great Disto!
Good sound from little orange box!
