Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal

🤙

great quality guitar pedal

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.

With just few months of light usage, the red LED light is not turning on anymore. Very disappointed. Circuit board also looks fixed unlike other ones Ive seen on youtube.

This my favorite distortion ,as I expected ,the best distortion

First of all I’ve been playing blues for over 50 years and have used all the classics including my 1965 Fender Super Reverb amp. Blues as we all know is based on using tone and nuance to play “ between the notes “. I still own a 1980s TS-808 and a 1980s Boss Blues Driver pedals. I also got the new Japanese Boss Blues Driver this year with its little hidden switch! They are all interesting and can recreate the 60s electric blues sounds up to a point. I got this Distortion pedal on a whim due to I just retired and am playing more and the price was very attractive. I plugged it in today with one of my Stratocasters and I couldn’t believe its sound, nuance, feel and tone. It’s funny only this week I was watching the Cream reunion concert first time in years and saw Eric Clapton doing “Stormy Monday”. In his solo he hits a sustained bend on the third that lasts almost a minute and the crowd goes wild. I plugged in today to try this pedal out and just happened to hit a bend and let it go and it sounded the same! This is a marvellous addition to anyone’s pedal collection no wonder Gary Moore, Satriani, Johnson and many others use it. It’s definitely worth a try if you’ve never played with it.

Funciona muy bien. Calidad-precio para amateur

Il BOSS DS-1 è il pedale distorsione che ha definito generazioni di chitarristi: gain medio versatile dal crunch blues a saturazione punk/rock anni '80, con sustain naturale e risposta dinamica che segue ogni tocco.​ Suono e controlli semplici: Tre manopole essenziali: Distortion per passare da boost leggero a overdrive aggressivo, Tone per bilanciare medi caldi e alti definiti, Level per adattarsi a qualsiasi setup. Arancione iconico, metallo indistruttibile, vero tank Boss che dura decenni senza battere ciglio.​ Perfetto su Fender o ampli vintage per quel suono "touch sensitive" che pulisce col volume chitarra. Ideale per riff taglienti senza diventare fangoso Manca il gain estremo per metal djent moderno; resta vintage, non high-gain serrato. Resta insuperato per rapporto qualità/prezzo e affidabilità assoluta. Un must per chi cerca il "suono distorsione" senza complicazioni.​

I had one Ds1 decades ago. Now that I use it again I m amazed at how good it sounds. So simple yet so plenty of different ranges, from bluesy overdrive to overkill fuzz. All varying endlessly with the differents pickups, [pre] amps, personal settings, etc, you might you. Even if you re a sloppy player, the mere powerfull sustain of this pedal will carry you thru. Probably the best distortion unit ever created.

予想通りの素晴らしいサウンドです。
