Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal Review

History:

Purchase: One day I was in my bedroom playing my guitar and having a great time. Then I noticed something that completely shocked me: My amp came with the crappiest distortion ever!!! After crying for a few hours, I decided that something needed to be done. I went down to Mars Music and bought myself a BOSS DS-1 distortion pedal for about $40 (money well spent).

Pros: This distortion pedal provides the cleanest and tonest (is that even a word?) distortion ever (even on the worst of amps). I tried every distortion pedal there and needless to say the BOSS pedal had the nicest sound. It also was one of the cheapest in price(compared to the $60 - $150 ones. There are many different tones you can make with it and it comes in a pretty orange color that makes you tingle of joy every itme you look at it.



Cons: I hate the way it makes my guitar sound so perfect and clean.

DS-1 Distortion Pedal Quality: It has a very convinient size and feels nice when you press it with your shoe. It is easy to operate (with only three knobs to turn) and has a very strong look and feel.

Boss Summary: Go buy it. (duh)
