anyone can tell me why Stuart always get "uuuuuuuuuus" on shows??? The G3 and the live in San Francisco is a good example...

Does anyone knows if Joe uses a stock DS-1 Boss???

...I'm searching for a better tone for my DS-1 one, so I'm thinking in doing the Robert Keeley mods for this pedal...

...Joe's DS-1 has any mod???

He uses it as main distortion or uses as a boost to the amp??

Does anyone knows if Joe uses a stock DS-1??? Or it is a modded DS-1???

...I know Steve Vai gave him a Robert Keeley DS-1...

"Rowashburn...I do believe Joe's DS-1 is stock..maybe Joe will answer that one for you...?"

I would love to... ;)

"RoWashburn: Joe used to use a Japanese made Boss DS1. The ones made now are Taiwanese, so if you want it to sound kind of like a hifi version of the original Jap model, get it modded by Keeley...it's very good. I think ultimately though, you'll be better served ti save your money for an all tube amp that generates the distortion, instead of using a pedal...the difference is huge."

I talked to keeley, and he send me the mods in the DS-1...both the Seeing Eye Mod and the Ultra Mod, and I'm intending in doing it myself....already have the components for the mods...

...about the all tube amp, I'm about to buy one.

...I'm still in doubt about what amp I should get...and I'm getting an HandMade amp.( all point to point , hand wired )

Rowashburn...does a store near you have both to try... maybe Joe's Peavey head too? I had a JCM800 was too thin for me...I think Joe's or a 5150 might do....IMHO...Soldano...is sweeter from my experience, and maybe not edgy enough...best to try them yourself...of course....

Remember that I'm going to get a HandMade amp...

...check it out here: http://geocities.yahoo.com.br/leandromarcoamp/

( the Buzz amp is the clone of Soldano Slo100 and the Sewer amp is the JCM800 clone. The Military is a Hiwatt clone )

I don't have how to try the amps in store nearby...

Rowashburn  

a mate of mine has a jcm 900 (the next model up from what ur thinking of ), its got a huge sound even at number 3 on the dial, id love one, but the price tag is a killer

That's why I'm getting a HandMade amp...much cheaper!!!

...and I'm not really interested in a JCM900...need an all tube amp.

Rowashburn soldano's are the shit! they are the coolest amps. but the slo100 is well over $4000 . the marshall jcm800's are pretty cool , but try the dsl100 or dsl50 . they sound great

Well...so you think the soldano is the best choice?!?!

The question is between the Soldano Slo100 and the Marshall JCM800. Which one you recomend?!?!?!?!

RoWashburn: I'm telling you this as a guy that is a Joe fan, but is generally opposed to buying signature gear. You'll like the JSX. I bought one because modern Marshalls couldn't get smooth enough, and don't sustain anymore like the old ones do. The JSX has I would say modded Marshall JCM800 tone on the Crunch channel....if you dial it in right you can make it very smooth and liquid, or crunchy and ACDC in tone. The clean channel is very similar to a fender twin with more chime to it...and the ultra channel can get super ridiculously saturated. I'm very happy with it...although I'm sure the Soldanos are killer in their own right, they're just super expensive. Email me, and I'll give you some settings to use if you go to try out the JSX. It uses active EQ on the drive channels, so it can be made to sound horrible if you set it up like you would expect to set up a Marshall or something classic like that.  

As far as using a ds1 to boost or as the main drive into a tube amp....I'm just against that, because I used to do that into a fender tube combo, and I never got a pure sustaining sound out of it. I would always have the sound of the dist pedal hitting the preamp of the fender and the 2 arguing with each other. In other words, sustained notes would tail off into a weird overtone low end sound.....wheras a real tube drive channel (JSX) tails off in to subtle musical feedback as the note dies away. I never got that using a dist pedal

Well...as I said...I'm getting an HandMade amp...perfect clone, much cheaper, and I can't afford to buy a JSX.

So tell me: Soldano Slo100 or Marshall JCM800???

...about the DS-1...

...SO HOW IN THE NAME OF GOD JOE GETS THAT SOUND?!??

...before the JSX, joe used the Marshall's clean channel only, using the DS-1 as main distortion...and it just sound great!!!

...one told once, that his DS-1 has a switch that changes the integrated circuit in the pedal...it can sound like the stock or Mod...

...come on, come on...any more explanations, sugestions????

...let's share knowledgement!!!!!!!!!!!

OCPS470 Rowashburn: I suppose that maybe the Marshall 6100 is more of a perfect fit with the DS1 than the fender is. I do understand that at some point Vai was using a Keeley modded DS1 and sent one to Joe, but that Joe prefers the stock Japanese DS1 from the 80's. As far as getting Joe's tone, if you really want to do that.....you probably need to start by getting every piece of gear in his signal chain (guitar, pickups, amp, etc etc). Then you need to study where he picks the guitar, what type of pick, and how he attacks etc etc. All of this can be really futile though, because you will still sound more like You than Joe, because you don't have Joe's hands or mind etc etc. This isn't a bad thing btw. For example, I go for a very smooth tone, but most of it is how I use the pick....when I hand the guitar to someone else it usually sounds rough or harsh. It's all in the hands.  

I Know, I know...and I'm not trying to get Joe's tone...far from it!!!!

...nobody sounds like nobody, I'm tryng to get MY tone, I'm just using his tone as a inspiration...just like Steve Vai's tone , and Eddie Van Halen's tone.

...These three are awesome!!! And they use diferents sets...but both Steve Vai and Joe use the DS-1 Boss...so I'm trying to understand how they use it. I know Steve Vai use it as a boost for the amp, but Joe gets so much distortion just by using it as main distortion...of course his hands have the bigger part in it, but still makes me thinking...

...well, I suppose the Soldano Slo100 is the best choice for me...

...I just don't want to have so much distortion...but also don't want it to get to weak...

Joe, tell how you use your DS-1 Boss!!!

Main distortion on the clean channel?!?!?! Main distortion on the crunch channel?!?!?! Does it have any mods?!?! Or is it a Japanese stock one?!?!

What do you think about the Soldano Slo100?!?!?!?!
