Product Description
The DS-1 provides a harder distortion effect for guitar and keyboard
sounds. Instead of toneless, fuzzy distortion, the DS-1 faithfully
reproduces all the subtle nuances of your playing dynamics, from
whisper-quiet to screaming loud. The onboard TONE control allows you to
tailor the overall sound to your liking.

Customer Reviews
Great Pedal, Great Price!
This is a classic Boss pedal, it's been around for awhile. Boss is
known for their great sounding effects and rugged construction of their
products, this one is no different. The distortion from this pedal is
simple, very smooth, and very versatile. It's not too noisy, allowing
single notes played to be heard with clarity. If you'd like to hear it,
you can probably find some sound clips of it being used on Boss's
website.
Good as a Stepping Stone
Alright, allow me to forego any kind of thesis statement or
introduction and simply get down to the point. What you get with this
pedal is simple, classic, basic distortion. It's not exteme, and it's
not too weak. It's probably what you would sort of call a baseline to
compare other pedals to.
If you need just simply distortion; a little overdrive to your
sound, then you found it. However, if you want something more indepth,
look for something more specific to what you want (Metal Zone, Blues
Drive, Tube Screamer, etc), because this pedal is very generic sounding
due to it being a pedal that a large fraction of musicians own. It's
like the McDonald's of pedals: cheap, easy, and well known.
Bottom Line: Good to use for simple distortion effects, otherwise look elsewhere.
Distorts sound, just like it says
I have had this pedal for about 15 years, just replaced the old one
a month ago. It distorts sound, not quite the way you would imagine
though. This effect sounds really good through a fat cab or a larger
amp that can let the cabinet give the tone a little color. I use it
through a Epiphone Valve Jr and a Marshall 2x12 stack with JTM45 on top
and its fine. This thing through a Champ or smaller amp will not give
you the meat you are probably looking for without a EQ pedal.
This does just what it says it does. One Volume knob, one tone, and one distortion knob. CRANK IT.
