Since its release in 1978, the Boss DS-1 has become one of the most iconic distortion pedals in history. Beloved by guitarists across genres from hard rock and metal to punk and alternative, the DS-1 delivers a tight, aggressive distortion that retains clarity and definition even at maximum gain. Its distinctive voice has shaped countless classic records and remains a staple on pedalboards worldwide.
At lower gain settings, the DS-1 works beautifully as a boost, pushing amps and other pedals without muddying your tone. Its unique tone control goes beyond simply cutting highs, allowing a broad sweep of tonal shaping — from razor-sharp cutting leads to warm, fat rhythm textures. The DS-1 doesn’t mask your guitar’s character, meaning you’ll hear the nuances of your instrument and playing style come through, even under heavy distortion.
Built in Boss’s legendary compact pedal format, the DS-1 is road-tough, reliable, and endlessly versatile. Whether you’re after searing leads, tight rhythm crunch, or a tone-shaping boost, the DS-1 is a proven tool for guitarists of every style and era. Available now at Haggerty’s Music, this used pedal is in mint condition and just waiting to take its place on your pedal board.
