BOSS DS-1 Distortion
The BOSS DS-1 Distortion is one of the most iconic distortion pedals ever made, delivering the classic hard-edged tone that has shaped generations of rock, punk, metal, and alternative music. First introduced in 1978, the DS-1 remains a go-to pedal for players who want cutting distortion, strong sustain, and versatile tone shaping.
Known for its tight attack and rich harmonics, the DS-1 can cover everything from mild crunch and boosted amp tones to aggressive high-gain distortion. Its unique Tone control offers a wide range of sound shaping, allowing you to dial in bright, cutting rhythm tones or smoother, thicker lead sounds with ease.
The DS-1 also responds well to your guitar’s volume control, cleaning up naturally without becoming muddy. Built in the legendary BOSS compact pedal enclosure, it’s ready for years of dependable use on stage, in the studio, or on your pedalboard.
