Pre-Owned BOSS DS-1W

The BOSS DS-1W: Legendary Distortion with Waza Craft Refinement

Classic BOSS Distortion with Modern Versatility

The BOSS DS-1W Waza Craft Distortion takes one of the most recognizable distortion pedals in guitar history and gives it a refined, expanded voice. Built around the iconic DS-1 sound, this all-analog pedal delivers everything from aggressive crunch to saturated lead tones, with enhanced dynamics and tonal flexibility. Whether you're chasing classic rock grit or pushing into heavier territory, the DS-1W offers the unmistakable character of BOSS distortion with added versatility.

Two Distinct Distortion Modes

The DS-1W features two selectable modes that give players access to different flavors of distortion. Standard mode faithfully recreates the original DS-1 sound, delivering its signature sharp attack, focused midrange, and aggressive clipping character. Custom mode takes things further with a fuller, more powerful voice, increased gain, and enhanced midrange presence. This expanded tonal range makes the DS-1W equally comfortable delivering tight rhythm crunch or thick, singing leads.

Responsive Analog Circuitry and Simple Controls

With dedicated Tone, Level, and Distortion controls, the DS-1W makes dialing in your sound straightforward and intuitive. Its premium analog circuitry provides a responsive playing experience, preserving articulation and pick attack even with the gain turned up. The redesigned Tone control offers a more musical response, allowing players to shape their sound without sacrificing clarity or definition.
