Despite its modest array of controls, the DS830 is one of the most flexible distortion boxes you will ever encounter.
The DS830 can generate insane amounts of gain while still retaining
remarkable evenness and transparency. Yet far from being a one-trick
pony, the DS830 is also capable of lightly overdriven blues tones and
even semi-clean solo boosts at lower Gain settings.
Clarity and punch may seem like self-canceling traits, yet the DS830
provides both. The high-gain settings don't force a particular color on
your tone - a great trait if you're pleased with your particular
guitar/amp combination.
The DS830’s dual tone controls are surgically effective and highly
interactive. The Bass knob contributes low-end muscle that makes a combo
sound like a stack and turns a full stack into a wrecking ball. The
Treble control dials in just the right amount of bite without excessive
top-end sizzle. Between the two, you can get everything from
penetrating bite to an obese square-wave bordering on fuzz.
This additional tone-shaping makes the DS830 ideal for use with Bass
Guitar, generating an edgy, aggressive tone that retains the note
clarity and character of your instrument.
For full-bodied distortion with an amp-like feel and a huge variety
of useable tones, the DS830 Distortion Master is unrivaled in its sonic
range.
TECH TALK:
The DS830’s gain section features a dual-stage clipping design that
combines the classic “808” clipping (diodes in feedback loop) with a
pair of diodes to ground ala’ the SD-9 and RAT. This design effectively
clips the signal twice, and the round smooth clipping of the feedback
loop followed by the edgier diodes to ground adds a degree of
“chewiness” to the pedal’s voice.
The DS830 features a complex tone control which acts like an active
two-band filter by changing the gain of the treble and bass frequencies
going into the Op Amp. The Bass and Treble controls are highly
interactive and complementary. For example; turning up the Bass doesn’t
just add low-end, but will also help to smooth out any harshness in the
Treble frequencies.
The DS830 features buffered, Mechanical bypass switching with a low
impedance output, allowing it to drive long cable lengths or other
effect units without loss of signal.
