BOSS's colourful stomp boxes are the most recognisable pedal range in existence. For over 40 years, guitarists from bedrooms to stadiums have put their boot down on a BOSS effect to transform their sound. Several models have passed into guitar legend and early examples can fetch extremely high prices. Happily, BOSS have maintained their stellar reputation for world-class effects in bomb-proof casing with their current range and have fended off the imitators for decades to remain the pre-eminent single pedal effects manufacturer in the business. If there's an effect for guitar (or bass, vocals, keysbe creative!) then you can bet BOSS have a pedal of it in their range or even invented it outright! Every guitar player should get to experience the joy of selecting a pedal from BOSS's exhaustive roster, plugging it in and unleashing their wildest sonic dreams. For those players who love the DS-1's bite and attack but feel like they could handle even more gain, the next logical step will be this DS-2 Turbo Distortion. With two separate modes (footswitchable with an optional extra BOSS FS footswitch, available separately) that take you from relatively laid back distortion to a searing lead tone with tons of bite, sustain and mids, you can conceivably get all of your classic rock tones form this one pedal! There's a lot of pedal here for not a whole lot of outlay.
