MIJ DS-1

[turtlemuscle]

yup.. y leh?

then it's confirm MIJ lor. excellent price man...

coz there are some MIJ sticker on the outside... taiwan sausage on the inside.

 

[ShredCow]

hey Shredcow, what's the batch no. on the sticker at the battery clip area?

I have no idea. My MIJ DS1 is uber uber old according to Randolf. He thinks its one of the 1st batches made. Mojo to the max!

Yeap sepultura... never underestimate the power of mods... replacing the inferior stock parts with quality parts, WOW. However, there's a limit to modding... and thats where boutique gear come in.

 

[brundisium]

what's up with the facisnation with boutique? Isnt boutique also just something that we put on the floor to step on or table to press on to make music?

There seem to be this thing with boutique here that its something high up there. Just observation, no harm intended. And with the boutique surrounding just gain pedal, i think theres nothing much to glee about, isn't it...

 

[ShredCow]

Thats where we differ brundy. I think theres too much to gain and overdrive and fuzz. Thats what I'm after. I think modulation efx are nothign much to glee abt.

And if boutique sounds better than normal gear, I'll go for it. Its my tone to my ears, and thats what matters most. Good gear must be shared, hence my inclination to go try out booteek stuff.

Btw, whats wrong with booteek-ness? MiAudio sells them pedals cheap. Tim (or is it the timmy) is cheap and a TS killer. Its just quality of tone I'm after, and the pedal in question is a stock MIT DS-1.

Tone is in your pocket, pal :lol:

Good gear must be shared, thats true. But have we even try out enough of boutique yet to even make statement? Thats what iam thinking.

boutique can means all sort of effect other than fuzz, disotrtion or overdrive. If i have only try out certain thing only, i won't even dare to over mentioned boutique...

 

[ShredCow]

I really don't understand your point brundisium. I got a new pedal, the pedal rocks, I recommend the pedal. I try another pedal, I can't stand it, I don't recommend that pedal. You mean I have to taste all kinds of fruit before I tell you apples are good?

I never said boutique beats all them stock pedals, theres simply no comparison, no common ground to compare those two.

When I told sepultura that there is a limit to modding, and that the next step is boutique gear, I meant it as such:
Stock DS1 sounds bad. Why? Poor quality parts.
Modded DS1 sounds better. Why? Good quality parts.
And you go on up the chain till you realised.. you've replaced all the parts with mojo-fied NOS 1930s capacitors, took away the PCB and hand wired everything together with teflon cables and 100% silver solder. You've gone booteek.

So thats my take on boutique. It IS the next level, on an entirely differnet level than stock pedals.

Hawker centre uncle sell hokkien mee vs instant noodle which one taste better?

 

[brundisium]

when stuck with no hokkien mee within the forest, instant noodle taste like heaven among the combat ration

hehe, shrew, i can understand your points. It just that, thought i noticed that you seem to be over excited about boutique ever since gotten into it :lol:

 

[ShredCow]

Oh man.. .definately... its like a blindfold being taken off. Who wouldn't be? Its like a crime IMO, to reccomend anything lesser.

[Indigo_blues]

hokkien mee is good though, if u can afford it.

 

[ciel21]

you are passionate, that's understable. But sometime must also depends on the need of the person wanting the recommendation, budget and usage. Isnt it.

Lets say if i want a delay, people keep telling me echoczar, because it is the best, blah blah blah etc. I think i will go mad :lol:

And so, can recommend any delay? Must say first, no echoczar, no analogman, no boss, no ibanez, no EH, etc.
