Yeah it really is. I’d recommend it. The fact you can put your drives (or any other pedal for that matter) in the loop is so good, makes it much more useable.

Looks so clean. I need one of those 1981 pedals for my new board build.

How do you find the DS-1w, Thom? The custom mode sounds pretty good from YouTube demos I've watched.

Thanks man. Yes, definitely recommend the 1981.

It’s great, really like it. I use the custom mode and it sits better in the band mix because of the added mids. I run the gain pretty low, but it’s still quite gainy and then sounds great with any of the 3 other dirt pedals running into it for boost or different textures.

Another fan of low gain on a DS-1; it's sick as it does this 'squishy when you dig in' thing, kinda more fuzz-like; it could only be improved by more/ANY midrange, so defo sounds like a winner.

That's what I was picking up from the various YouTube demos I'd seen.

I really don't need another dirt pedal though.

So, will probably get one :roll: :lol:

Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan. I've so many dirt pedals. I find that different contexts require different tonality for the DURT. So my thing is to save them as a sort of tonal library for when they might come in handy(At least that's what you tell the wife?). My big problem with an OG DS-1 is the way it alters the tone when placed after an SD-1 or any other overdrive, it saps out the overall tone, maybe the Waza bypass fixes this?

Have been at home most of this week following some minor surgery, so what better to do than order a Boss RE-202 and redo my main and mini boards!
The 202 arrived today, I updated the firmware and set all the secondary functions/preferences so it’s good to go. I’ve set the blue momentary switch to cycle to the previous memory slot so I can go up and down rather than have to cycle round.

Ooh, we're phasertwins!

Having the same pedal in two different colourways on two separate boards is amongst the coolest things I've ever seen. Kudos to you.

What do you think of the Honey Bee Thom? I’ve got one in a double pedal with a Sparkle Drive that Mike did for me a few years back.

I like it a lot actually. I wasn’t expecting to keep it on my band pedalboard when I bought it but it’s really working for me. It’s one of those pedals I’ve always wanted to try but never did. A few months ago he put out 20 new Honey Bee pedals on the Bearfoot reverb page to celebrate the 20th Anniversary and I grabbed one.
I run it at 12V rather than 9 which sounds better to me, a bit more headroom. I think it sounds very natural and I like the tone of the breakup. I have been using it basically as an always on, edge of breakup sound. It stacks well with other dirt pedals too.
Do you use yours much?

I do wish my pedalboard was as neat as yours Tom!

I've added another multistomp to the pedalboard in place of the slo reverb. Meaning I can have reverb or delay or what ever the fuck else at the end of the chain.

I love the Echoflanger. I wish I had held onto the old Polychorus I had.

I don’t use it a great deal, but when I do then it is for a low gain sound. I do find it fairly dark sounding though, which can help tame an amp that is on the brighter side.

Haha cheers mate. Good looking board though, I used to have the Bluetooth version of the multistomp too, always thought it was a good idea to be able to easily update patches, but guess it didn’t really catch on.

Yeah it is definitely dark, which works with my setup at the moment - have been using my Marshall Origin and the honey bee is a great base sound going into that to smooth and fatten things out.
