BOSS DS-1W Waza Craft Distortion Pedal with Standard and Custom Modes (DS-1W)

BOSS DS-1W Waza Craft Distortion Pedal with Standard and Custom Modes (DS-1W)

The BOSS DS-1W Waza Craft Distortion Pedal enhances the legendary DS-1 distortion with premium analog circuitry and expanded tonal flexibility. It combines the familiar hard-edged attack and smooth sustain of the original DS-1 with a newly developed discrete all-analog circuit, offering two distinct operating modes for a wider range of guitar tones.

Standard mode delivers the classic DS-1 sound with its tight, defined distortion and versatile tone control. Custom mode provides a thicker, more dynamic distortion character with enhanced midrange presence, increased touch sensitivity, and additional output level for use as a gain boost.

The DS-1W features carefully refined Waza Craft construction and a high-quality buffer for maintaining clear tone when the pedal is bypassed. Its versatile controls make it suitable for rhythm playing, lead tones, high-gain sounds, and driving amplifiers or other effects pedals.
