Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal with Patch Cables

Simply put, the BOSS DS-1 distortion pedal is a modern classic. For the better part of 30 years, you've heard this orange box put through its paces on countless top rock recordings - from Kurt Cobain's "Nevermind"-era grunge to the renowned distorted tones of Steve Vai. The DS-1 is affordable, it's incredible sounding, and it's a rock pedalboard staple - the perfect first distortion stompbox and one that may well be your last. Whether you pair it with your guitar's single-coil or humbucking pickups, expect rich, dynamic-laden tone with the BOSS DS-1. Two patch cables included.

• A trusted classic since 1978, the DS-1 Distortion Pedal delivers versatile rock tones, making it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced guitarists.
• THREE CONTROLS - The BOSS DS-1 has a tone knob, level knob, and distortion knob for a range of key distortion tones from subtle bite to all-out fuzz. The midrange on the DS-1 is scooped, giving it a distinct tonal flavor that many players prefer.
• RUGGED AND RELIABLE - Not only do BOSS pedals sound great, they're also designed with serious use in mind. Each BOSS pedal is housed in a stomp-ready metal box and features a rubberized stomp area and base to help safeguard against slipping.
• 2 WAYS TO POWER- The DS-1 has an AC adapter jack so it can be powered by a 9V power supply like the Roland PSA-120S or it can run off of a standard 9V battery. Its 4mA current draw means you’ll have plenty of headroom for the rest of your pedal chain.
• LOW PROFILE CABLES - Your tone will sound great thanks to the oxygen-free copper conductors and spiral shields, and the connectors’ low-profile design saves valuable pedalboard space.
