The DS-2 is a solid, affordable workhorse for heavier rock and metal. It's a step up from a basic overdrive, delivering a crunchy distortion that’s perfect for rhythm parts and aggressive lead lines. If you need a reliable, no-fuss distortion pedal that can handle a beating, this is a great option.
Product Description
Boss DS-2 Distortion, Guitar Effects Pedal
The BOSS DS 2 is an enhanced version of the already classic of the genre, the DS 1. It delivers this time - in comparison to the legendary overdrive pedals from BOSS - a considerably rougher and more aggressive distortion, which is clearly oriented towards the British amp stack sound, yet still far away from the earlier rather toneless fuzz distortion of the past. In addition, the DS-2 has a second mode that enables yet more aggressive sounds. You can use both options live, as there is an extra jack for a foot switch with which to switch between modes. Extremely flexible!
