What Stands Out
Product Details
- Legendary distortion used by guitarists everywhere Since 1978
- BOSS’s first distortion pedal defined a bold new sound, delivering hard-edged attack and smooth sustain that’s been a staple of players for generations.
- Hard-edged attack remains clear even at maximum distortion settings, ideal for heavy rhythms and cutting solos
- Works great as a booster at low distortion settings
- Unique tone control offers a wide range of sound Shaping
- Doesn’t mask the unique sound characteristics of different guitars, pickups, and styles.
- Turning down the guitar’s volume cleans up the tone without introducing muddiness.

Who Should Buy?
-
Rock Guitarists
Ideal for rock genres, providing high gain distortion with rich harmonics that enhance solos and riffs.

-
Versatile Players
Offers two modes, allowing users to switch between traditional distortion and a more aggressive sound for versatility.
-
Jazz Musicians
The aggressive distortion may not suit jazz styles that generally prefer clean and subtle tonal variations.
-
Novice Players
Beginners may find its numerous settings overwhelming, lacking the simplicity needed for basic playing and learning.
-
Acoustic Guitarists
Designed for electric guitars, it does not complement the natural sound of acoustic instruments effectively.

BOSS Distortion & Overdrive DS-1 Editorial Review
The Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal is a popular choice for guitarists looking for a hard rock sound. Made in Taiwan, the quality of the pedal and sound remains unaffected. It does not come with a power adapter or cable, but runs on a 9-volt battery which is included. While it can be used for bass, the MD-2 is preferred for its versatility. Not recommended for metalcore, but great for hard rock enthusiasts. Some users have reported issues with the pedal dying shortly after purchase. Overall, the Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal is a solid choice for those seeking a hard rock sound.
