Comparing the Boss DS1, Boss DS2, ProCo Rat and Sansamp Classic. 4 distortion pedals that Kurt Cobain used throughout Nirvana.
Each era of Nirvana is represented with the amp settings and guitars I am using. I also used them with the Small Clone and Polychorus for certain songs.
A general overview of what these pedals can do in various different Nirvana applications.
