    Limited Edition White Colourway
    The Boss DS-1-WH stands out with its striking limited edition white finish, making it a must-have for collectors and tone enthusiasts. While maintaining the classic features of the iconic DS-1, this special release brings a fresh aesthetic to the world’s best-selling BOSS distortion pedal. With its distinctive look, the DS-1-WH makes a stylish addition to any pedalboard and celebrates decades of legendary performance.

    Unchanged Iconic Circuitry Since 1978
    The DS-1 Distortion Pedal has been a staple for guitarists across genres since its introduction in 1978. The circuitry remains unchanged, preserving the hard-edged attack and smooth sustain that shaped the sound of countless rock legends. From searing leads to heavy rhythms, the DS-1 delivers consistent, reliable tone that continues to inspire generations of players.

    Powerful and Versatile Tone Control
    One of the DS-1’s standout features is its wide-ranging tone control, which allows guitarists to shape their sound to suit any genre or style. From subtle warmth to aggressive distortion, the DS-1-WH provides unparalleled flexibility. Whether used for heavy power chords or dynamic solos, its responsiveness ensures precise tonal adjustments to match your playing.

    Clarity at Any Gain Level
    The DS-1-WH is designed to maintain clarity, even at maximum distortion settings. Its ability to preserve note definition makes it ideal for cutting through dense mixes, whether you’re playing hard-hitting rhythms or soaring leads. This clarity, combined with its smooth sustain, ensures your sound stays powerful and distinct in any setting.

    Works as a Boost or Standalone Distortion
    At lower distortion settings, the DS-1-WH functions as an effective boost pedal, enhancing your tone without overwhelming it. This versatility makes it a dual-purpose tool for guitarists who need both a clean volume lift and a gritty, overdriven tone in one pedal. Its adaptability ensures it fits seamlessly into any setup.

    Dynamic and Responsive
    The DS-1-WH’s dynamic design responds beautifully to changes in your playing. Turning down your guitar’s volume knob cleans up the tone without introducing muddiness, making it perfect for transitioning from aggressive distortion to subtle, nuanced passages. This responsiveness gives players complete control over their sound during performances.

    Preserves Guitar and Pickup Characteristics
    Unlike some distortion pedals, the DS-1-WH retains the unique tonal qualities of your guitar and pickups. This transparency ensures that your instrument’s natural voice shines through, making it suitable for a wide range of guitars and musical styles. Whether you’re using single-coils or humbuckers, the DS-1-WH delivers unmatched versatility.

    Top-Selling Compact Pedal of All Time
    As the best-selling BOSS compact pedal, the DS-1 has earned its place as a legend in the guitar world.

Whether you’re a seasoned professional or a beginner, the DS-1-WH offers unmatched performance and enduring value.
