Boss DS-1W Distortion

The classic Boss distortion, enhanced with new tone possibilities through Waza craftsmanship. Introduced in 1978 among the earliest models in the Boss compact series, the orange DS-1 redefined the sound of distortion and remains as influential today as ever.

Its hard-edged attack and smooth sustain have made it the best-selling compact effect to date, and its distinctive tone is behind the signature sounds of a long list of rock and alternative icons. With the DS-1W, this legendary stomp joins other BOSS classics in the Waza Craft series, fusing the look and character of the original with a newly revised discrete all-analog circuit for expanded range and versatility.
