The best position is the one you figure out that has the sound you are going for. There is no right or wrong.
oh, don't be snob: saying like this is like if you go to a guitar tutorial and your teacher tells you "there's nothing like chords: there's just the sound you are going for"..... of course if you're hendrix then you can invent... but maybe you can ask for some basics, at the beginning...
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

I'm not being a snob. I was trying to give honest advice. You can learn chords and scales and theory. But to ask what setting you should use on a distortion pedal makes no sense. Tweak the knobs (hey, it's a DS-1, there's 2 and a volume knob) and find the tone that works for you. There's no 1-size-fits-all setting. I hardly think that's snobby advice.

I've used and loved several Boss pedals, but I stopped using all of them when I got a GT-6, which I now can't live without. I still use my Dunlop Crybaby, though.

I change my mind a lot, and my board constantly evolves. Plus I don't like messing with all the stuff. I don't like menus, and I like the pedal to be the effect, and thats it if it makes sense.

Sounds like some differing opions on the overdrive and distortion. Some like the BD-2 sound quit well, then that Monkey one, then Blackstone. Hmmm, hard to decide which is best. Several don't like the Sd-1 though sound like, keep that in mind. Maybe i misinterpreted, but seems like overdrive is favored over distortion, I know they are different to some degree, but that is what I think I read.

Crybaby will never go out of your rotation once you get it (unless you get one you like better )

And how much did you pay for this?

I got it used for something like $160.
