Maintains Tone

Unlike other distortion pedals, the DS-1 maintains its tone while still providing you with a deep and crispy distortion. The DS-1 accurately responds to all the subtle nuances of your picking and playing dynamics, from a quiet whisper to ear-spitting loud.

Onboard Tone Controls

The onboard TONE control allows you to tailor the overall sound to your liking. Unlike typical tone controls that only cut highs, the DS-1’s tone circuit features an innovative design that offers far more range. Turning the knob clockwise increases highs and decreases lows, while going counter-clockwise has the opposite effect. This lets you dial in everything from tight, cutting rhythm sounds to smooth, fat lead voices. The tone control is particularly effective for maintaining low-end definition when using the DS-1 as a booster with vintage-style amps, which often sound muddy when driven with other distortion pedals.

Features:

• Legendary distortion used by guitarists everywhere since 1978
• Classic tones for all types of music
• Hard-edged attack remains clear even at maximum distortion settings, ideal for heavy rhythms and cutting solos
• Works great as a booster at low distortion settings
• Unique tone control offers a wide range of sound shaping
• Doesn’t mask the unique sound characteristics of different guitars, pickups, and styles
• Turning down the guitar’s volume cleans up the tone without introducing muddiness
