This pedal will last forever. I have not had any battery problems with it (I unplug chords when I’m done with them) and it is made from hard durable steel. It is easy to adjust the sound and to do simple things such as change the battery. You can adjust the tone, the amount of distortion, and the level. It comes with a little packet of tones that tell you how to get different sounds (although its much more fun to mess around with it before looking at that packet. I recommend this pedal to any guitar player looking for a new sound.

I have researched Boss and all of the kind of pedals it has to offer. Even though this little inexpensive pedal (compared to other BOSS products) does not look like much, IT PACKS A PUNCH. I seriously was blown away by the quality sound that it drives out. I felt like my epiphone firebird transformed into a metal machine! If you are new to effects pedals, this product is definitely worth your time.

I have had this pedal for about 15 years, just replaced the old one a month ago. It distorts sound, not quite the way you would imagine though. This effect sounds really good through a fat cab or a larger amp that can let the cabinet give the tone a little color. I use it through a Epiphone Valve Jr and a Marshall 2×12 stack with JTM45 on top and its fine. This thing through a Champ or smaller amp will not give you the meat you are probably looking for without a EQ pedal.
This does just what it says it does. One Volume knob, one tone, and one distortion knob. CRANK IT.

kinda pricey here on amazon. go to your local guitar store and you can pick up a brand new one for 39.99. This distortion is the bomb. anyone who says this thing sucks does not know what they’re talking about. while there is not a lot of versatility it more than does the job. I have played on many distortion pedals and for the price it can’t be beat. now if your looking to spend some bucks I would suggest the jason becker distortion pedal from protone pedals. or the body rot II also from protone, but expect to spend around 300 bucks.

this pedal is great weather your a beginner or an expert guitar player. the BOSS DS-1 give a good amount of distortion for a verity of different genres of music. although it does not give as much distortion as the BOSS DS-2 or MD-1, the BOSS DS-1 give you a great sound with small amounts of feedback for the cheap price of about 40 dollars where the DS-2 and MD-1 cost 80+. this is the kinda of pedal that a guitarist could buy when there a beginner and keep for the rest of there music career. I recommend the BOSS DS-1 from a beginner to expert guitarists who proform.

Like the title says it’s a must have for all guitarists. Even though it’s more expensive than a digital pedal; it is way better. Most famous rock guitarists use this pedal. If you have trouble with battery life remember to stop the battery from draining all the time you have to unplug the input chord. Buy this product if you love rock.

Great pedal for the price. If you just want a little distortion then this pedal is perfect for you.

tough built (metal), simple, but delivers quality and wide distortion sound, from hard to soft, as you set it

This is a classic Boss pedal, it’s been around for awhile. Boss is known for their great sounding effects and rugged construction of their products, this one is no different. The distortion from this pedal is simple, very smooth, and very versatile. It’s not too noisy, allowing single notes played to be heard with clarity. If you’d like to hear it, you can probably find some sound clips of it being used on Boss’s website.
