The legendary BOSS DS-1, the iconic orange distortion pedal that has been a staple for guitarists since the late 1970s, is now available in a stunning new white limited edition. This collector’s item, with its sleek old-school silver screw, is a must-have for BOSS fanatics and tone enthusiasts alike.
A Timeless Classic
Released in 1978, the DS-1 has been used by countless guitarists, including the legendary Steve Vai. Its simple yet powerful design, featuring Level, Distortion, and Tone controls, allows you to dial in a wide range of distortion tones, from subtle overdrive to full-blown distortion.
We recently wrote about the pedal in our Evolution of Distortion Pedals and covered it in Top 5 Distortion and Overdrive Pedals and How To Use Them.
Unlocking the DS-1’s Potential
To truly appreciate the DS-1, it’s essential to understand its unique characteristics. This pedal thrives on a slightly dirty amp tone and pairs exceptionally well with vintage-style PAF humbuckers or single-coil pickups.
By using your guitar’s volume knob to control the distortion level, you can achieve a wide range of tones, from clean to dirty, without even touching the pedal’s controls.
A Timeless Design
The BOSS DS-1 White Limited Edition is not just a beautiful piece of gear; it’s a reliable workhorse built to last. Its compact size and durable construction make it perfect for stage and studio use.
If you’re a guitar player who appreciates classic tone and unique design, the BOSS DS-1 White Limited Edition is a must-have. Don’t miss your chance to own a piece of guitar history.
