Follows description from Equipboard:

The Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion is an analog guitar effects pedal that provides a versatile range of distortion sounds through two distinct "Turbo" modes. It is known for its durable build and has been embraced by notable artists like Kurt Cobain and John Frusciante. 

Key Features and Modes

The primary feature of the DS-2 is its dual-mode control, which offers different tonal characteristics for rhythm and lead playing. 

• Turbo Mode I: This mode produces a warm and mellow distortion with an enhanced low-end and midrange, and a relatively flat frequency response. It's suitable for everything from gritty drive to full distortion and responds well to dynamic picking.
• Turbo Mode II: This mode delivers a biting, harmonically rich, and high-gain distortionwith a pronounced midrange boost. This emphasis on the mids makes the guitar sound cut through the mix easily, making it ideal for solos and lead parts.
• Remote Jack: The pedal includes a remote input jack, allowing an optional external footswitch (like the BOSS FS-5L) to be connected for instant, hands-free switching between the two Turbo modes during a performance. 
  

Controls and Specifications

The DS-2 features a simple and intuitive four-knob layout and a two-way mode switch on the panel.
