    More Veristile Than Expected.

    Great for the obvious ie; filthy fuzz and hulking crunch. Can get some pretty interesting mild rock sounds as well, while most will buy this for thrashing out dirty power chords and scale runs it is capable of some diverse flavours. I bought the original 80s black label Japanese version myself (circa 1984). I cant really comment on what a modern DS-1 is like, this is the only DS-1 I've used, but its knobs are extremely precise and buttery smooth and feel solid. The click is satisfyingly firm and the whole pedal just feels like a Boss product, built like a tank. While now days there's no shortage of distortion pedals to choose from the DS-1 is a classic, which is going to be its best selling point for some and its worse for others.

    Boss DS-1 is OK in stock form but can easily be made better

    I bought this thing with te sole purpose of modifying it, which is super easy to do even if you aren't that good with a soldering iron. The stock pedel is OK, a good value for what it is but with less than $10 in components and an hour or two it can be made into something much better and more versatile. In stock form the tone nob might as well be a switch that goes from mud to hissy treble screech, but when you swap out a few capacitors with higher quality ones you can get a real range of tones out of it. There are also easy ways to boost the volume, change up the gain and eliminate some of the hiss. I added a switch that gives it three distinct gain settings ranging from a smooth overdrive to a full on wave of rich distortion. I'm very happy with it, I retained the character of the ...

  • Low cost guitar effect pedal that performs well for intended application.

    Boss pedals are constructed well and look professional (I don't like cartoon figures or silly phrases on pedals like you find on other makes). Input & output cables connections fit tight. Gain adjustments seem to have significant range of adjustment. Unwanted internal circuit noise seems low or unnoticeable. You'll find several "well used" Boss pedals on ebay, so that has something to say about how durable they are. My current favorite is the Super Chorus CH-1 pedal. Some are hungry for 9 volt batteries, but that could be resolved with a wall power supply.

  • Highly Underrated Affordable Pedal - Awesome When Used Correctly.

    Highly Underrated! Many people think this is a low-grade Boss effect pedal, but with proper settings and usage, it stands up to the quality and fidelity you have come to expect from Boss "Built like a Tank" pedals. The reason many people give this pedal low marks is because the Tone Knob is crazy! Similar to the Fender Reverb Tanks, this knob goes from just about right to way out of control in a hurry! - lol. Set fully left/counter-clockwise (7 o'clock), it is dark and muddy, around 8 o'clock it will sound good for a Strat lead tone, around 9 o'clock and a little beyond is good for fat Gibson humbuckers to cut through any mix, and anything beyond that is way too thin, harsh and God knows what you would use it for outside of a specialized high freq-type ...

  • This familiar orange box from Boss is a good place to start with FX pedals

    This is an inexpensive, basic distortion box for use with electric guitar. It's good, durable, does the job, and is an excellent starting point if you're just beginning to use effects pedals with your guitar and amp. This familiar orange box may be the only pedal you ever need. To connect it, plug the cable from your guitar into the INPUT jack and then run a second cable from the OUTPUT jack to the input of your amplifier. Step on the switch to turn it on and have some fun! Power for this pedal comes from a 9 Volt battery or an external power supply. If the red CHECK light does not come on when you step on the switch, check your battery or power supply to make sure that you are securely connected and that the battery has enough "juice" to operate your pedal. ...
