BOSS DS 1 -4A Anniversary
The DS-1 Distortion
was introduced in 1978 as part of the second wave of compact pedal
releases. Its hard-edged attack and smooth sustain was an instant
success among guitarists, going on to fuel the signature sounds of
numerous rock legends. The DS-1 has enjoyed such enduring popularity
that’s it’s remained in the lineup to this day, outselling every other
BOSS pedal to date.
To commemorate 40 years of BOSS pedal innovation, we’ve
released a special version of the
DS-1 that features a black body with gold lettering,
gold-capped knobs, and a vintage silver thumbscrew for the battery
compartment. The pedal comes in a special box with the BOSS 40th
anniversary logo, and will be available in 2017 only.
