The Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal with Power Supply is all you need to inject your tone with massive amounts of gain. Included with a Boss PSA-230 power supply youve got all you need to start dominating the stage with stunningly bright articulated sonics. No messing around with batteries this cable has plenty of length to ensure freedom of placement for the DS-1. And thats good because this bright orange beast has been a mainstay on countless pedalboards since its introduction in 1978 and the fact the design has yet to be improved upon more than 40 years later shows its reputation is well-earned. If you need a pedal to take your sound up several gears theres nothing better than the DS-1.

Brand

Boss

BOSS began in Osaka in 1973 as MEG Electronics, a company dedicated to effects. Its first BOSS-branded effect was the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble in 1976; the OD-1, SP-1 and PH-1 launched the compact-effects series in 1977. The JustPedals catalogue includes familiar overdrives and distortions such as the OD-3, SD-1, BD-2, DS-1 and MT-2 Metal Zone, as well as utility items such as the PCS-20A cable. BOSS now spans compact pedals, multi-effects, loopers, tuners and controllers. Manufacturing origin should be checked by model rather than inferred from the brand’s Japanese history.

Pedal Power Supplies

A pedal power supply converts mains or battery power into the regulated DC outputs required by an effects board. True isolated outputs break ground paths and reduce interaction between pedals, while daisy chains share a common supply. Each output must match voltage, polarity and current demand; switchable voltages, high-current sockets, IEC or external adapters and mounting dimensions affect compatibility.

Distortion

Clips the waveform firmly and adds a dense series of harmonics with compression and sustain. The clipping devices, gain stages and tone filters determine whether the result is tight, smooth, mid-focused, scooped, grainy or deliberately abrasive.
