Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion Pedal

Wonderful! It’s great for Nirvana tones as well as for other bands, easy to use, and the battery lasts forever. Mines lasted for a few months.

Boutique Pedal makes offer a variety of option, and many times much more. However, this distortion pedal does it all, if your willing to learn it. Texas, Delta, Chicago Blues, and even does the mythical "Dumble Amp" by simply turning down the gain and about about 11 o'clock on the "Tone" and "Level".When it comes to the gain, it easily goes from mild to wild, a lot of territory that it can easily cover, but my forte is Blues, in style of Robben Ford, Stevie Ray Vaughan (far from playing like him, but at least I can sound like him), BB King, and Gary Moore.Don't be fooled by the low price, it does much more than many other offerings out there, and has been around since 1978.

Boss effect pedals are simply the best in terms of engineering and build quality. I have a fairly large collection of effect pedals, and at least half of them are overdrive or distortion. This one is REALLY good.A couple of considerations if you buy this one:This one is a different breed of cat. It has digital circuitry that gives it some special qualities:1. Take the time to experiment with adjustments. It's different. It's very bright, and has very high gain, so the best sounds won't look like settings on a typical distortion like a DS-1.2. Playing a Stratocaster, I'm getting the best sounds as follows:Gain: 10:00-12:00 (maybe lower with Humbuckers)Low: ~2:00 (boosted)High: ~9:30 (reduced)3. This pedal has very high gain; If I get past 2:00, I hear a lot of digital noise. Gain of 10:00 - 12:00 is great. I get a few feedback squeals at this level.Hope this helps The results you get with all gain type effects (overdrive and distortion) will depend entirely on your guitar and amp. The DS-1X has the tones - just be patient and dial them in :-)

Great sound and sounds just like Nirvana’s Bleach. Female output is a little loose though, might just be my cord though

Best Build quality and everything is so Good you can play Hard rock or even metal and is easy to use and its so powerful 5 stars

Good price? Fast shipping

This pedal is great. I used it on my Gibson LP 100 and Roland drum machine and man...It sounds like a dream. There's definitely a lot to work with here.I don't know what these other people mean by saying "mid-high or high-gain is only achievable with this".I tested the pedal myself and adjusted the tone of it to produce lower frequencies and it sounded thick. I wouldn't ever use this for low, low sounds but, that's not to say that someone wouldn't.If you're receiving a brighter sound out of it and want it to be lower, it's likely that you are playing an instrument that's already producing a bright sound. I can't hit my cymbal on my drum machine and complain about the lack of bass through the distorted sound because there no low end frequencies to work with in the first place.There is a meal on a silver platter, and you hold the power to possess this meal. But you have to inquire about it. This pedal is your waiter, menu and utensils that can help you indulge in it.But in all seriousness. I have spent so many hours on specifically distorting my sounds through digital pre-sets and such. They've sounded great afterwards, but that's not the point...No the point is, is that this device right here:1) Cuts the distortion editing process time in half.2) Saves up RAM + Helps avoid potential latency issues in your DAW (if you're like me and use a shitload of presets) which in turn, creates more efficient, easier work flow.3) Creates an effortlessly attractive flare to your sound.If you have the money get it. If you don't, go on eBay or to guitar center and spend 25$ for a used one...These things are very indestructible.Hope this helps.

Arrived early. Excitement condition. Just as promised.
