All the grind you'll ever want.

For over 30 years, the BOSS DS-1 distortion pedal has been an effects staple that helped shape the sound of rock. This pioneering pedal delivers a range of rich, dynamic distortion tones perfect for any playing style. Whether you're a beginner looking to add grit to your sound or a pro designing your dream pedalboard, the DS-1 is an essential tool for crafting hard-edged rock tones.

Sculpt Your Sound with Three Simple Controls
The DS-1 makes dialing in distortion effortless with its three-knob interface. Adjust the Distortion control to add subtle breakup or all out fuzz. Set the Level knob to balance your distorted signal with the bypassed signal and use the Tone control to brighten or darken your tone. This intuitive layout gives you a world of tones at your feet.

Built for the Stage and Studio
BOSS is renowned for building pedals that can withstand years of performance and studio use. The DS-1 features a durable metal chassis and footswitch that will endure stomping, kicking, and dropping. Its roadworthy design has been proven on stages and in studios around the world, used by iconic artists like Kurt Cobain, Steve Vai, and Yngwie Malmsteen. When you buy the DS-1, you're investing in a lifetime of great tone.

Perfect First Pedal, Lifetime Partner
Whether you're new to effects or building out an advanced pedalboard, the DS-1 should be at the center of your rig. Its accessible interface, versatile distortion sounds, and affordable price make it the ideal first pedal. But its iconic status, durability, and rich tone mean it will remain an essential part of your setup for life. The DS-1: your first pedal, your forever pedal.
