    BOSS DS-1 Distortion Guitar Pedal, Black, 40th Anniversary Limited Edition

    • No reason to buy boss anymore, unless you don't want to improve tour tone and do something differently...
    • Very muddy tone
    • Love it, good dirt, good tone!
    • the tone sounds great, but it stopped working about a week after I got it which really made me mad
    • For the price, this is a great pedal, sound by its self may be a little thin, but mixed with an Ibanez tube screamer, the tone is amazing
    • It has that classic crunch tone that you'd get from an amp cranked to 11
    • This pedal is great, not only because it has great tone, but also because of its extreme cheapness
    • i like to turn the tone down a little and the distortion up a little.
    • With a vintage Peavey 30 watt with heavy reverb and some creative delay, it's a great solo tone for what I'm doing, and gives me plenty of drive if I need to just rock out with some power chords.
    • It may be useful for some lead guitar, but the sound is very 'fizzy' and thin sounding- not a rich, complex tone by any means

    • This will get you those classic distortion tones or in the general ball park
