Description
The DS-1 Distortion is a true icon in the world of guitar effects. Introduced in 1978, BOSS’s first distortion pedal defined a bold new sound, delivering hard-edged attack and smooth sustain that’s been a staple of players for generations. The DS-1 is the top-selling BOSS compact pedal ever, and its original, unchanged design continues to inspire the creation of great music everywhere. The classic DS-1 tone is behind the signature sounds of numerous rock legends, and is ready to fuel your own signature sound today.
Before the DS-1, most distortion pedals produced harsh, buzzy tones and muddy sound at high gain settings. In 1978, BOSS engineers changed all that by developing a unique distortion circuit for the DS-1 that produces tight, hard-edged gain with rich harmonics while retaining the unique characteristics of different guitars and playing techniques. Hard rock, metal, and punk styles began to flourish in the ‘70s and ‘80s, and the DS-1’s tone had a defining influence on these genres. That trend has endured through multiple generations, and players around the world continue to seek out the classic DS-1 sound.
From its modest three-knob interface, many different sound colors can be coaxed from the DS-1. Its pioneering two-stage circuit incorporates both transistor and op-amp gain stages. This approach is critical to the DS-1’s characteristic low-frequency fullness, which is loved by guitarists that play heavy music genres. The distortion knob offers an extremely wide range, from a mild boost for driving amps and pedals to full-throttle gain for monster rock riffs.
Unlike typical tone controls that only cut highs, the DS-1’s tone circuit features an innovative design that offers far more range. Turning the knob clockwise increases highs and decreases lows, while going counter-clockwise has the opposite effect. This lets you dial in everything from tight, cutting rhythm sounds to smooth, fat lead voices. The tone control is particularly effective for maintaining low-end definition when using the DS-1 as a booster with vintage-style amps, which often sound muddy when driven with other distortion pedals.

Gut
Tut was es soll. Es gibt viele Reviews über das Pedal die es erklären. Vielleicht nicht für Metal geeignet, jedoch könnte ich mir selbst das mit einem Marshall vorstellen. Der Amp ist sowieso massgebend für den Erfolg. Fazit: Günstig, gut und empfehlenswert.

Mein erstes 'richtiges' Pedal
Dies war mein erstes Pedal. Auf der Suche nach einem guten Distortion-Pedal bin ich auf dieses preisgünstige Exemplar gestossen. Nun, um zu beginnen, dieses Pedal ist ein Klassiker. Wenn man bedenkt, dass es von vielen Profis benutzt wird, bin ich überrascht, dass es immer noch so billig ist, im Gegensatz zum Ibanez Tube Screamer zum Beispiel. Die Bedienelemente sind ähnlich wie bei einem Tube Screamer, aber der Sound ist meiner Meinung nach ganz anders. Leider habe ich es nicht geschafft, meinen idealen Sound damit zu erzeugen und habe es daher schnell ersetzt. Trotzdem hat es sich in den meisten Reviews bewährt und wird noch heute von vielen als sagenhaft bezeichnet. Meines ist es leider nicht und ich bevorzuge den RAT.

Erstes Distortion Pedal
Wie bei Boss üblich, super hergestellt. Als erstes Distortion Pedal 1978 richtig gut gelungen. Von Hardrock bis 80er Jahre Metal ist alles machbar. Das zeigte schon Gary Moore damals. Wer diesen Sound sucht ist hier genau richtig.
Ich bin jedenfalls begeistert

Boss Distortion Pedal
Wie von Boss gewohnt sehr gut hergestellt.
Das Pedal ist modern abgestimmt und ist nicht eine Kopie des DS 1, da es mehr Verzerrung liefert.
Klingen tut's ganz gut, aber halt sehr für den heutigen Metal abgestimmt.
Wer das sucht wird gut bedient.

Nichts für Metal Heads
Das DS-1 Pedal hat natürlich nicht den Biss und Drive für Metal, was ich auch nicht gesucht hatte - vielmehr ein 70er / 80er Rock Sound.
Bedienung ist mit 3 Reglern einfach gehalten und problemlos.
Klingt super mit Humbucker sowie single Coil.
Also wer es mehr rockig oder bluesig mag, der ist definitv gut bedient.
Qualiät ist wie immer bei BOSS top.
Zudem besten Dank an MusiX für die unkomplizierte Handhabung während der COVID-19 Pandemie.

The must have
Als anfänger in Pedale sammlung habe mich gedacht, dass jeder ein DS1 haben muss. Die sieht cool aus und klingt wie eine reine Distortion nicht mehr und nicht weniger. Konnte doch ein bisschen mehr Biss haben.
Zusammen mit ein BOSS SD-1 als boost ist ziemlich geil muss ich sagen
