What's included:

  • Boss DS-1W Distortion Pedal
  • Leaflet
  • 9V Alkaline Battery

The Boss DS-1W Waza Craft Distortion pedal reimagines one of the most iconic compact distortions ever made with upgraded all-analog circuitry and expanded tonal flexibility. Built in Japan as part of Boss’s premium Waza Craft series, it preserves the unmistakable bite, attack, and sustain of the original DS-1 while refining the response for modern players who want greater range and articulation.

Standard mode captures the familiar DS-1 sound that has shaped countless rock tones for decades, delivering crisp attack, focused distortion, and excellent note definition. Switching to Custom mode unlocks a thicker, more powerful voice with tighter mids, added body, and greater touch sensitivity, making the pedal equally effective for classic rhythm work, cutting lead tones, and heavier modern gain sounds. Dedicated Level, Tone, and Distortion controls make it easy to dial in everything from edgy crunch to saturated drive.

Housed in Boss’s road-proven compact enclosure, the DS-1W features buffered bypass, a status/check indicator, and support for both 9V battery and PSA-series AC adaptor power. Its blend of legendary distortion character, Waza Craft refinement, and dependable Boss construction makes it a standout choice for guitarists who want a versatile premium distortion pedal with classic roots.
