Boss DS-1 Distortion

• Boss:

  1978 - DS-1 Distortion

  This is the classic distortion pedal launched a million guitar solos. Known by professional guitarists the world over as "that orange BOSS distortion," the DS-1 Distortion is still in production to this day, thanks to its distinct growling-yet-warm tone and bite. Plug it into your favorite stack and see what we mean.

• Boss Japan:

  A classic! Add some hard-edged distortion while preserving the subtle nuances of your playing dynamics. A Tone control is provided for easy sound shaping.

• Boss USA:

  The classic DS-1 Distortion pedal provides a harder distortion effect for guitar and keyboard sounds. Instead of toneless, fuzzy distortion, the DS-1 faithfully reproduces all the subtle nuances of playing dynamics--at any volume.

  • Classic BOSS Distortion tones for guitar and keyboard
  • Reproduces dynamics of playing, from soft to hard
  • Distortion, Level and Tone control to tailor overall sound as desired
