Boss Ds1 Waza Craft Special Edition Distortion

Description

BOSS DS-1W Distortion Pedal

Introduced in 1978 as one of the first models in the BOSS compact series, the orange DS-1 redefined the sound of distortion and remains more influential than ever today. Its edgy attack and smooth sustain have made it the best-selling compact effect to date.

The DS-1W, this legendary pedal joins other BOSS classics in the Waza Craft series, blending the original's look and character with a completely revised, all-analog circuit to expand its range and versatility.

From the beginning, BOSS engineers have been committed to achieving the best guitar sounds using whatever technology is necessary, from old-school analog circuits to high-tech DSP. This enthusiasm continues with the Waza Craft series, offering you exceptional sound and touch response through carefully selected analog components, refined circuits, and meticulous attention to detail. In Japan, "Waza" is the term for art and technique, and these special edition pedals proudly bear the Waza symbol to represent the pinnacle of BOSS design and craftsmanship.
