i know his main box is a marshall shred master
i think they made them in the 80's so i dont know how u'll go
pro co rat may be the better option there as i think theyre similarish

definitely a whammy and a volume pedal

he uses a roland space echo as well but im not sure how often

there are many others
but i dont know what they are

oh i was beaten to it

Holy **** you guys my DS-1 is actually working properly my question is why wasn't it working right when I got it like 2 weeks ago?

weak battery? short in one of the connections? weak cable / input jack? might have even been dust on one of the circuits.

so it's providing a little more 'oomph' right?

Yeh alot, a completely different sound :)

boss - Google Product Search

I'll sell you mine for £90 Which is cheaper than anything on the google search. I've not used it in 2 years and it's been kept boxed away. Let me know if your interested.

How much would that be in American dollars?

I remember when one of my Boss pedals wasn't working right it was because I over tightened the washer over the input jack, once I loosened it up a bit it worked fine.

I was recommended the Boss Metal Zone when I first started playing guitar (1994)... since I didn't really know what kind of sound I wanted, this pedal was awesome due to the EQ feature. I recently wanted to go for a more natural sound as the metal zone sounds more digital/flat to me. I was recommended the Ibanez tube screamer (which I enjoy), it seems to boosts the amps natural signal giving it a thicker distortion (more like British rock I guess). I actually did a little experimenting and found I really dig the sound of the Metal Zone (EQ'd accordingly) going into the Tube Screamer and then to the amp. On occasion I will start the chain with a Wah-Wah pedal and use it as a treble booster for those solos that need to cut through.
