## Description

From the manufacturer DS-1 Distortion Pedal THE BENCHMARK IN GUITAR DISTORTION The DS-1 Distortion is a true icon in the world of guitar effects. Introduced in 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. The DS-1 is the top-selling BOSS compact pedal ever, and its original, unchanged design continues to inspire the creation of great music everywhere. The classic DS-1 tone is behind the signature sounds of numerous rock legends, and is ready to fuel your own signature sound today. Legendary distortion used by guitarists everywhere since 1978 Classic tones for all types of music Hard-edged attack remains clear even at maximum distortion settings Works great as a booster at low distortion settings Genre-Defining Distortion Before the DS-1, most distortion pedals produced harsh, buzzy tones and muddy sound at high gain settings. In 1978, BOSS engineers changed all that by developing a unique distortion circuit for the DS-1 that produces tight, hard-edged gain with rich harmonics while retaining the unique characteristics of different guitars and playing techniques. Hard rock, metal, and punk styles began to flourish in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and the DS-1’s tone had a defining influence on these genres. That trend has endured through multiple generations, and players around the world continue to seek out the classic DS-1 sound. Gain from Mild to Heavy From its modest three-knob interface, many different sound colors can be coaxed from the DS-1. Its pioneering two-stage circuit incorporates both transistor and op-amp gain stages. This approach is critical to the DS-1’s characteristic low-frequency fullness, which is loved by guitarists that play heavy music genres. The distortion knob offers an extremely wide range, from a mild boost for driving amps and pedals to full-throttle gain for monster rock riffs. Powerful Tone Shaping Unlike typical tone controls that only cut highs, the DS-1’s tone circuit features an innovative design that offers far more range. Turning the knob clockwise increases highs and decreases lows, while going counter-clockwise has the opposite effect. This lets you dial in everything from tight, cutting rhythm sounds to smooth, fat lead voices. The tone control is particularly effective for maintaining low-end definition when using the DS-1 as a booster with vintage-style amps, which often sound muddy when driven with other distortion pedals.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Weird question time: I'm about 135lbs, and a bit over-enthusiastic. If I jump about 2 feet in the air and land on this pedal, will it survive?**
A: Dude, even if you weighed 531 lbs and did that - I don't think you're hurting a Boss.  Maybe don't land on the knobs in that case though eh?

**Q: some reviews say this ships with no power adapter. is this true? you have to find one and buy it separately?**
A: Not really that hard.  Just search here for guitar pedal power supplies.  9V 2.1x5.5mm, center negative.  Or buy a bunch of 9v batteries

**Q: Im new to pedals and would like to know if this comes by itself, if it does what cables do i need?**
A: You'll just need one guitar cable from your guitar to the pedal, and a second guitar cable from the pedal to your amp.  The pedal runs on a 9v battery, which is included.

**Q: Where is this pedal made?**
A: Taiwan. It hasn't affected the quality of the pedal, or of the sound in any way. Still the best $50 distortion pedal.

great quality guitar pedal

### ⭐⭐ Stopped working after 2 months with limited use
*by H***M on 3 May 2026*

It was great while it lasted, which was not even 2 months. We thought the issue was the charger so we bought another original one, turns out it's the device itself. Oh yeah, and it doesn't come with a charger which is annoying.
