## Description

Boss DS-1 Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal : desertcart.in: Musical Instruments

Review: Great Distortion Pedal - This one i am using with Yamaha Pacifica for playing in our Church. I am combining this with another pedal Boss G1on. This pedal is very nice pedal for playing interludes in the songs, sound clarity is also very great. I have not purchased the chord but i am using with 9v rechargeable battery _ working well. This is my genuine review after using around 1 year.
Review: Great sounding pedal for the price! - I should say this is a “moody” pedal. If you dial in the right settings depending on your guitar and amp, it is possible to get some excellent hard rock sounds with this pedal. The tone knob is tricky, works best if kept below 10 o’ clock position for me. If you turn the tone knob higher than that, the tonal characteristics complete change and start sounding extremely trebly and thin. Otherwise this is a great pedal, just look up some YouTube videos on how best to use this pedal.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Weird question time: I'm about 135lbs, and a bit over-enthusiastic. If I jump about 2 feet in the air and land on this pedal, will it survive?**
A: Dude, even if you weighed 531 lbs and did that - I don't think you're hurting a Boss.  Maybe don't land on the knobs in that case though eh?

**Q: some reviews say this ships with no power adapter. is this true? you have to find one and buy it separately?**
A: Not really that hard.  Just search here for guitar pedal power supplies.  9V 2.1x5.5mm, center negative.  Or buy a bunch of 9v batteries

**Q: Im new to pedals and would like to know if this comes by itself, if it does what cables do i need?**
A: You'll just need one guitar cable from your guitar to the pedal, and a second guitar cable from the pedal to your amp.  The pedal runs on a 9v battery, which is included.

**Q: Where is this pedal made?**
A: Taiwan. It hasn't affected the quality of the pedal, or of the sound in any way. Still the best $50 distortion pedal.
