Boss DS-1 Distortion
Effects pedal · Japan
The Boss DS-1 Distortion is a compact stompbox introduced in 1978, one of the earliest distortion pedals in the Boss line and its best-selling compact model. Built around a dual-stage gain circuit, it delivers tight, hard-edged distortion with a wide-ranging tone control, and has remained largely unchanged for decades as a benchmark distortion across rock, metal, and punk.
