Freeky-Deeky-Distortion
I got an itch to clean out some of the lesser-used gear in my studio, and I've thrown some more guitar pedals up on Ebay. These are VERY hard-to-find items, and I thought about holding onto them, before I thought better of it -- I'm a player, not a collector, and these pedals just haven't found a way into my sound arsenal.

The first is a Boss DS-1 Distortion pedal that's been totally tricked out by a company called Doobtone. Besides replacing all the cheap-o pots and plugs, he's also added two more switchable distortion diodes to the circuit, so you can have tri-diode distortion if you want! You can read more about it by clicking HERE.

The second pedal is a Boss Xtortion pedal. This is a rare, discontinued pedal, and there are rumors that it was the secret to Kurt Cobain's sound... I don't know if that's true, but I will say that this is a freaky, psycho-sick pedal and doesn't sound like any normal or vintage distortion I've ever come across. I considered using it for performances of Chaos Theory, but it was kinda noisy (99.9% of distortion pedals are) and because of the wide dynamic range, I need my rig to be as quiet as possible. Click HERE to check this sucker out.
Happy bidding!
