      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 ...

      Not all it's cracked up to be

      It's got a nice blues sound when the gain is down and output is cranked up. But as soon as you crank the gain up to get into some hard rock then forget it. The thing sounds like fuzzy muffled garbage no matter how you adjust your treble and bass pots. The original ds1 sounds much better, and that's not saying much. If you're going to spend the money on one of these then you may as well get something good like the sinvertek no.5 or sehr riot reloaded...

      Well known for a reason

      I recently got one of these used for a nice discount, even though it only has a couple nicks on the finish. The Boss DS-1 is a classic in the world of distortion pedals. I've played a few different DS-1s and can say they are consistent in sound. Solid construction in a metal casing with the eye catching orange finish. This gives you some great bite to your lead and a nice crunch to your rhythm. While not insane in the gain department, it does provide a wide variety of tones and distortion that should fit many styles and genres. Brand new these are still a great deal, but if you can get a nice one used, they're a steal. This will last you as long as you want it to.

      Better but challenging

      That particular DS-1 was more noisy than the others I bought. However, its tone is more raspy and aggressive. I was able to reduce the noise by moving the pedal farther away from the amp and using an isolated power supply connected to an outlet on the other side of the room. I think I had a ground loop running which this pedal amplified more than my othe DS-1 pedals.
