Boss DS-1W

While users love the simplicity of the classic BOSS DS-1, this updated Waza Craft version offers a whole new level of dirtbox versatility. With a 2-way switch, you can toggle between the standard mode - the standard DS-1 - and the new, bass-driven Custom mode:

Standard (S) mode: this mode is the epitome of the DS-1 sound, beloved by guitarists for decades for its versatility, definition and hard punch. Just like the original, the tone control affects both high and low frequencies, so you can precisely adjust the fundamental for any sonic application.

Custom (C) Mode: The DS-1W's Custom mode is the ideal blend of old and new, combining the DS-1's proven timbre with a new dose of character for an expanded sonic spectrum. The enhanced midrange adds volume to the sound. To improve fullness and presence, the tone control has been slightly modified and the overall level raised by 6 dB. The Custom mode maximizes the DS-1W's dynamics and provides a responsiveness never heard before in a standard DS-1.
