Boss DS-1

"This ultra-classic distortion box is known for its warm, tube-like growl and excellent dynamics and punch. If you could have only one distortion box, you couldn’t go wrong with a DS-1."

"DS-1 is a simple pedal that revolutionized the guitar world decades ago. The simple and cheap concept of one of these units in front of your amp is still a winning formula, even to this day. Why in the world would you need anything else? Right?"
