This rare pedal was made in September of 1980 and she’s been SCREAMING ever since! Make me an offer and she’s yours!


This is a vintage BOSS DS-1 Distortion, Black Label, Made in Japan.

Serial number: 9800 (early 1980s production).

The pedal is fully functional and has been tested.

It delivers the classic DS-1 distortion tone that made this pedal famous - punchy, cutting, and highly responsive.

This is one of the sought-after MIJ (Made in Japan) versions, known for their build quality and unique voicing compared to later models.

Cosmetically, it shows some worn paint, scratches and wear consistent with its age, but nothing that affects playability or performance.

A great piece for collectors and players who want the authentic early DS-1 sound.
