BOSS
DS-1X
A distortion designed with MDP, BOSS's proprietary digital signal processing technology. By processing multiple parameters simultaneously inside the pedal, it is tuned to deliver an optimal sound at any setting. It covers everything from subtle crunch to high gain, producing a low-noise sound that keeps its note separation even under deep distortion.
A digital-generation distortion that redesigns drive with MDP
A distortion designed with MDP, BOSS's proprietary multi-dimensional signal processing technology. Multiple parameters are processed simultaneously inside the pedal, tuned so the sound never falls apart at any setting.
High gain that keeps its separation
High-speed processing that preserves the fundamental keeps chords separated even under deep distortion. It handles down-tuned and extended-range guitar backing and the complex voicings of tension chords, and its low-noise design stays quiet even with DIST turned up. It also tracks guitar volume adjustments and picking closely.
Simple, interlinked controls
Behind the turn of a single knob, multiple parameters move together, steering the sound toward usable results at any position. The DIST knob covers crunch through high gain, and the effective HIGH and LOW controls make sound shaping intuitive.
