Employ the distortion pedal that has defined decades of rock.
Features
- Iconic distortion tone trusted by artists like Kurt Cobain and Steve Vai for mix-cutting clarity
- Wide gain range that moves from focused rhythm crunch to saturated leads while preserving articulation
- 3-knob layout that makes shaping levels, gain and EQ fast and intuitive
- Tone control that adapts the pedal’s character to different pickups, amps and playing styles
- Rugged BOSS metal chassis built for long-term reliability onstage and in the studio
- Classic analog circuitry that delivers the same DS-1 voice players have relied on since 1978
Sometimes you need a soft, clean, pure tone to express your musical vision. The rest of the time, you need the DS-1.
