    ds-2 with the tone knob all the way down, you're welcome. 20+ years of trying to figure out that pedal summed up in one short sentence

    The ds1/ds2’s design isn’t complicated as long as you play around with it. You can’t dime this pedal in a bedroom setting. Keep the level low if the distortion is up and vise versa, then use the tone knob to shape the sound, lower is grungy and higher is more buzzy punk stuff, and you can dial back the distortion for a nice Beatles lead. All you have to do is play with it.

    @@drwoah7242 if you want to play nirvana in the bedroom, my settings for that are tone 10 o’clock, distortion 5 o’clock (max) and level 9 o’clock (you don’t need much volume if the distortion is up)

    Kurt barely used the Rat, the only song he ever used it on was Territorial Pissings. Great pedal, but the DS2 or Sansamp are gonna be your best bet.

    Obviously it will be MT-2 It suppresses the midrange and increases the treble and bass that are missing in the EQ, BECAUSE THIS GUY DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO ADJUST IT

    You need some speaker sim / IR on the line out - doesnt sound representative and has rhat "no cab fizz". JC amps dont take drive super well IMO but a cool sound.

    Boss ds-1 tone should be around 10 to 11 o'clock the rat pedal was used on territorial pissing to DI and used on Heart Shaped Box, the boss metal zone from what ive heard and read was used on You Know You're Right but i am not entirely sure so take it with a grain of salt

    Get the DS2, homie. That Roland is too clean for the DS1. Kurt used whatever amp he could use back in the day, sometimes it was a Fender Twin. But if you’re trying to find the sound from the album, it’s literally three different guitar tracks, including a Mesa and Big Muff out of a Blackface Fender. Welcome to the eternal search of tone, it will never end.
