The Boss DS1-WH Distortion Pedal Limited Edition Metallic White is ideal for guitarists seeking iconic distortion with a unique, modern look. This limited edition re-release of the DS-1 retains the original’s punchy, hard-edged attack and smooth sustain, making it a perfect choice for both rhythm playing and standout solos. With an easy-to-use tone control, this pedal lets you shape your sound across a wide range, whether you’re after subtle grit or a heavier, saturated distortion.
The DS-1-WH also doubles as an effective booster at lower distortion settings, adding versatility to your pedalboard. Unlike many other pedals, it preserves the tonal characteristics of your guitar, letting the unique qualities of your instrument shine through without muddying the sound. The DS-1-WH Limited Edition brings the iconic DS-1 distortion tones to a fresh white colourway, making a striking addition to any pedalboard. Since its release in 1978, the DS-1 has become the highest-selling guitar pedal of all time, defining the distortion sound for generations of players, from heavy rock to blues. Used by guitar legends from all eras Kurt Cobain, John Frusciante, Billie Joe Armstrong, Johnnny Marr, Steve Vai, Billy Corgan, Joe Satriani, and countless more, the DS-1 has proved itself time and again. This limited edition model keeps the original’s timeless design, letting you experience legendary tones with a fresh look.
With the DS-1’s classic hard-edged attack, you can play full-force distortion without losing clarity, making it ideal for both intense rhythms and lead playing. Even at higher gain levels, this pedal maintains articulation, letting your notes cut through while delivering satisfying sustain. With a quick twist of the tone knob, you can move from a sharper sound to a warmer feel, suiting a variety of genres and playing styles.
At lower distortion levels, the DS-1-WH functions as a highly effective boost pedal, allowing you to add extra presence to your signal without overwhelming it. This versatility makes it a great choice for players who want a single pedal to handle both heavy distortion and subtler tone shaping, saving space and adding dynamic control to any setup.
Unlike many distortion pedals, the DS-1-WH is designed to complement the natural sound of your guitar rather than masking it. Whether you’re using single coils, humbuckers, or even active pickups, this pedal allows your guitar’s tone to shine through. And if you need to dial down, simply lowering your guitar’s volume cleans up the sound without adding unwanted muddiness, letting you control dynamics seamlessly.
