It is a long-selling model that is still the most popular among current BOSS compact pedals, loved by many guitarists. Its iconic orange color and edgy, rough distortion sound have made it a symbol of distortion and have colored the evolution of rock. The origins of the compact, iconic distortion pedal continue to inspire rock musicians worldwide. Before the arrival of the DS-1, a genre-defining distortion classic, distortion pedals typically produced muddy, crushed tones as distortion was increased. Released in 1978, the BOSS DS-1 shattered this conventional wisdom, debuting as a groundbreaking distortion pedal, delivering a raw yet tight, rich sound that didn't obscure the unique characteristics of different instruments or playing styles. Hard rock, metal, and punk musicians, all of whom used the DS-1 at the height of their powers, helped define the genres. Its sound, passed down through generations, remains beloved by musicians today as a synonym for classic distortion. Unique Tone Control: Unlike a typical tone control that simply cuts highs, the DS-1 offers a wide range of control with just one Tone knob. Turning clockwise boosts the highs while simultaneously cutting the lows; turning counterclockwise boosts the lows while simultaneously cutting the highs. This unique design allows you to create everything from sharp rhythm sounds to fat lead sounds with just one knob. While vintage-style amps often experience low-end saturation when distorted with pedals, using the DS-1 as a booster to moderately cut the lows allows for tight, sharp distortion sounds. Wide Range of Distortion, from Mild to Heavy. Compact Sound. The simple three-knob controls, the foundation of this pedal, allow for a wide range of sounds. The wild low-end distortion, achieved through a staged transistor and op-amp amplification circuit, is highly popular with musicians in demanding genres. The DIST knob allows for flexible control, from mild distortion for amp boosts to intense distortion for extreme rock and riffs.
