Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal

Legendary pedal, awesome for soloing, it catches the high frequencies extraordinarily, giving a bright sound without losing body. There's nothing better than the Turbo mode of this thing

Amazing sound!

Pros:-Awesome tone-Great performance-Straight forward and easy to use-Only $60-High quality-good battery life (I recommend using a cable tho)Cons:I have none!Do yourself a favour and just get it. What could go wrong? If you don’t like it, send it back!

This is overall a great pedal, it works well and it's structured pretty nicely. The small size makes it super portable to be taken anywhere, and I would say it is pretty nice for it's price that it is selling at

Boss effect pedals are simply the best in terms of engineering and build quality. I have a fairly large collection of effect pedals, and at least half of them are overdrive or distortion. This one is REALLY good.A couple of considerations if you buy this one:This one is a different breed of cat. It has digital circuitry that gives it some special qualities:1. Take the time to experiment with adjustments. It's different. It's very bright, and has very high gain, so the best sounds won't look like settings on a typical distortion like a DS-1.2. Playing a Stratocaster, I'm getting the best sounds as follows:Gain: 10:00-12:00 (maybe lower with Humbuckers)Low: ~2:00 (boosted)High: ~9:30 (reduced)3. This pedal has very high gain; If I get past 2:00, I hear a lot of digital noise. Gain of 10:00 - 12:00 is great. I get a few feedback squeals at this level.Hope this helps The results you get with all gain type effects (overdrive and distortion) will depend entirely on your guitar and amp. The DS-1X has the tones - just be patient and dial them in :-)

This pedal has a great sound , I love it , it is well made 👍👍👍Eddie

Perfect item, seller went above and beyond to help us get a second one after the first was lost in the mail. Very nice and understanding seller.

This pedal is great. I used it on my Gibson LP 100 and Roland drum machine and man...It sounds like a dream. There's definitely a lot to work with here.I don't know what these other people mean by saying "mid-high or high-gain is only achievable with this".I tested the pedal myself and adjusted the tone of it to produce lower frequencies and it sounded thick. I wouldn't ever use this for low, low sounds but, that's not to say that someone wouldn't.If you're receiving a brighter sound out of it and want it to be lower, it's likely that you are playing an instrument that's already producing a bright sound. I can't hit my cymbal on my drum machine and complain about the lack of bass through the distorted sound because there no low end frequencies to work with in the first place.There is a meal on a silver platter, and you hold the power to possess this meal. But you have to inquire about it. This pedal is your waiter, menu and utensils that can help you indulge in it.But in all seriousness. I have spent so many hours on specifically distorting my sounds through digital pre-sets and such. They've sounded great afterwards, but that's not the point...No the point is, is that this device right here:1) Cuts the distortion editing process time in half.2) Saves up RAM + Helps avoid potential latency issues in your DAW (if you're like me and use a shitload of presets) which in turn, creates more efficient, easier work flow.3) Creates an effortlessly attractive flare to your sound.If you have the money get it. If you don't, go on eBay or to guitar center and spend 25$ for a used one...These things are very indestructible.Hope this helps.
