The distortion is not the same as the DS-1. Similar perhaps but it's a completely different circuit.

The cheapest way to get it fixed is to find someone local to you. The schematic can be found here. Any decent electronics repairman should be able to fix it if you give him a printout of the schematic together with the pedal.

I own an early DS-1 (silver screw) and a DF-2. No, they don't have much in common.

It's closer to my PW-2. I think the comparison with the DS-2 is good, as far as I can tell.

I personnaly repair pedals, but I don't know if you could ship to france.

I think the DF-2 has a sort left field sort of personality. It is not uniform like some of the other stock pedals. Though some have said it is the same as the DS-1. I found the DS-2 to be a little compressed for my liking.

I would be interested to know what settings are being used for your DF-2....

I personnaly don't really use it, as I'm not a guitarist in a band (I only play for myself). And as a bassist, it's no use.

More, I love to move the pots when I play.

But I usually like to play with all knobs (except for volume) about 12h. If the pedal is good, it has to sound good this way.
