In 1978, the iconic orange DS-1, one of the earliest models in the BOSS compact series, revolutionized distortion sound. Its sharp attack and smooth sustain have made it the top - selling compact effect to this day. Many rock and alternative legends owe their signature sounds to its distinct tone. The DS - 1W, part of the Waza Craft series, combines the original's look and charm with a newly improved discrete all - analog circuit for greater range and flexibility. Features: Special edition Waza Craft pedal for an ultimate BOSS tone experience. New two - stage gain circuit with discrete analog parts. Standard mode recreates the classic DS - 1 sound. Custom mode offers thicker distortion with focused midrange and better touch response. The versatile Tone knob gives wide - ranging frequency control for each mode. Two modes add more options when used as a gain booster. A premium buffer ensures a clean and clear tone when bypassed.
Using the BOSS DS - 1W Waza Craft Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal is easy. First, connect it to your guitar and amplifier. Turn it on by stepping on the pedal. You can choose between the Standard mode, which gives you the classic DS - 1 sound, and the Custom mode for a fatter distortion. Adjust the Tone knob to get the frequency you like. When using it as a gain booster, the two modes offer different effects. For best results, use high - quality cables. When not in use, keep it in a dry and cool place. Avoid dropping or hitting it. Clean it gently with a soft cloth. If there are any problems, contact the BOSS customer service.
