Ibanez DS7 Distortion Guitar Effect Pedal

Awesome tone on a budget

Sort of in the vicinity of a Boss DS-1, definitely a good alternative and something different but still similar feeling. I was pleasantly surprised how nice it sounded, as well as with the level of gain it packs, and the low amount of noise. General consensus is that these Tone Lok pedals are not solid as a Boss pedal or the 9 Series Ibanez/Maxon pedals, and I would I agree based on initial impressions. I've also had a TS7 Tone Lok tube scream for years (bought it new way back when) and have never run into any problems with switch or knobs, but i could see it happening with heavier use. Buffered bypass is not bad at all, also comparable to Boss. Same bad deal if you run too many buffered pedals in a row but a few won't hurt (or even helps when your cable runs 20 feet). Like most any distortion put this early in the chain. You can get a boost type effect out of it, but it's better to use an actual boost pedal and let this one crunch.Read full review

Great distortion pedal

This is a great distortion pedal. It's not an overdrive pedal just distortion. I have a Yamaha desk top practice amp that I use a good bit but it doesn't have very much gain and this pedal is just what I needed for this amp.Read full review

Great pedal.

Rugged, dependable, simply designed, and totally affordable, the Ibanez DS-7 is an amazingly versatile distortion pedal. From blues rock to punk and hard rock, this pedal (to me) competes with Mesa Boogie's Throttler pedal. Yes, after comparison, I find that the Ibanez DS-7 is the superior pedal, at a fraction of the price.

For a cleaner, sharper tone, more in the realm of metal, I recommend the Ibanez Smashbox. Same design, same company, same affordability.Read full review
