I'm a hard working touring/recording musician with quality gear and I've tired every distortion I could get my hands on over the years. I wanted a tight, smooth, harmonically open lead sound, as close to my old JCM800 on full crank as I could get, and the Analogman DS-1 Pro Midrange does it for me. The harsh fizzy hi end is gone, this pedal is warmer, fuller, more dynamic and smoother than the stock Boss. The mid control makes it very versatile with a wide range of useful sounds. It can sound as scooped as stock, or dial in more vocal mids to cut through the band. I also have the Keeley SEM/Ultra, a MIT and the original MIJ DS-1, but Analogman is the most natural sounding, and the only version that truly preserves the tone of my guitars. The Keeley sounds good at low volume, but doesn't cut at a gig, too flubby, scooped, too 'tweed' a sound. The MIJ is quite good, but the Analogman improves on it in all the ways you want. Couldn't ask for more.
