BOSS 50th Anniversary DS-1 Distortion Pedal

Celebrate 50 golden years of Boss innovation with the DS-1 Distortion's anniversary edition! This iconic pedal has been a staple of rock, pop, and grunge guitar tones since its debut in 1979. Its legendary circuit delivers the hard-clipping, saturated distortion that made it a must-have for generations of guitarists. From Nirvana's Kurt Cobain to Metallica's James Hetfield, the DS-1's snarling voice has been heard on countless hit records. Its simple but effective controls - Level, Tone, and Distortion - let you sculpt a wide range of gain-fueled tones. Crank the Distortion for a thick, fuzzy roar perfect for heavy riffs, or roll it back for a more organic, amp-like crunch. This special 50th anniversary model pays homage to Boss' storied history with a stunning metallic finish and a silver thumbscrew - a nod to the brand's vintage aesthetic. But beneath the flashy exterior, you'll find the same circuit that has stood the test of time, ready to inspire your next sonic creation. Whether you're a lifelong DS-1 devotee or discovering this icon for the first time, the 50th Anniversary edition is a must-have collector's piece. Celebrate Boss' golden legacy and plug into 50 years of game-changing guitar tone.
