High-Def Distortion for Modern Players

The DS-1X completely redefines the distortion stomp with trailblazing BOSS MDP technology. Its distortion tones are perfectly balanced no matter where you play on the neck, even with maximum gain. You get tight response on the low strings and fat, singing tones on the highest notes, plus supreme definition when playing arpeggios and complex chords.

Exceptional Sound Made Easy

The DS-1X’s distortion feels and sounds “dialed in” the instant you turn it on, providing an inspiring and effortless playing experience. MDP constantly analyzes your dynamics and register to create an optimized sound, eliminating the muddy and boomy artifacts that can occur with many distortion circuits. Twisting a knob on the DS-1X tweaks multiple parameters at once under the hood, ensuring high-clarity tones at every setting.

From Crunch to Mega-Gain

With the wide-ranging controls on the DS-1X, you can call up everything from crunch rhythm tones to intense saturation for searing solos and heavy down-tuned riffs. The distortion is very sensitive to dynamics, allowing you to control the drive amount with your playing touch and the guitar’s volume control. And thanks to its finely tuned digital engine, the DS-1X produces much less noise than standard distortion stomps.
