okay la.. i prefer the TS9DX cuz its closer to the stand alone tri-ac... the ds-1 just sounds too sick la... haha :lol:
erm... it doesnt sound VERY killer chug-ish though... but i used low gain ... and an emg 85. and i downpick really hard with heavy palm muting. did fine for me...
i get better wiht my amp ofcourse... but jamming etc... cant complain... i some times bring one pedal to jam only.

Hi man,
Ok i prefer the normal ds1..followed by the boosted ds1...i hate the ts..
..any way ..to my ears,i feel u boost a bit too much on the ds1..
thats the reason i`ll prefer the normal tone..
the "normal" ds1 i can hear the pick attack ..but on the boosted ds1 i feel there are too much gain...
off course in real jamming the tone might varies.Not sure how u record those bro..btw what kinda tone that u like to hear??
if u want variation best if u can get a preamp so that u can put aside abt 128 patches..off course u can still use those lovely pedals in conjunction with the preamp...

haha.. man... no no... just playing around. 
Personally, I prefer my TS9DX sound. I always went back to the DS-1 because i love that fat sustain it has, but otherwise, I find it does not do anything else as good as I would like it.
For the clip, I think the DS-1 was level on just a bit higher than unity gain, gain @ 9oclock and tone at... erm... 11?
Also, I was running into a medium-high gain channel already...
I find the TS9DX gives the most variation of tones, esp after being modded. It covers a whole lot of ground, and its very responsive, even when gain is maxed.

Ah, but you forgot to mention the switch positions Moo.

The modded MT2 in my own setup is used as a 2nd OD flavour with the drive knob at zero and the flexible onboard modded eq section tweaked to
provide a different shade. I patch the MT2 after the CS3 before the SD1 mod and the DS1 Switchblade which is last in my drive chain. I do attach my Keeley Comp which is a really a glorified Dynacomp at the end of my chain after the CH1 mod and DD2 mod. The setting on my Keeley Comp is almost zero for the sustain knob to make it almost act like a limiter and the level knob to level taste.
The MT2 when modded gives you great tonal flexibility because of the 3 band eq which I really like alot. The MT2 is actually a DS1 with 3 times the distortion which you'll either love or hate but it's really the eq shaping flexibility that makes it versatile.
The SD1 like the TS9 makes a great OD pedal whereby I include a switch for selecting either the Germanium or LED diode for different clipping characters when needed. The germanium sounds great from 7 to 9 o Clock and has a soft "fine hair" type of saturation tone. The LED mode has a more robust and dynamic type of crunch which responds very well to picking dynamics when needed.
So my drive pedal setup of a CS3 mod, MT2 mod, SD1 mod and DS1 mod does provide me a wide range of drive flavours and is applicable with slight knob and switch adjustments when I need to switch from Strats to Lps to Shred style playing when the music calls for it.
embryo yup its true..the eq, makes the MT2 a sweet pedal..
i`ll use it patch before a GE7 (its just use to alter the tonality and loudness) other that that i played dry ..no delay watsoever.. but sometimes i add abit of reverb on the amp...
bro any other suggestion for a modded MT2?is there any way to convert it to stereo out put?I`ll like to plug it to two diff amps perhaps one dry and the other with a bit of delay..
wat are your thoughts on this..
