Used Boss DS-1 distortion

The BOSS DS-1 Distortion is one of the most iconic, widely recognizable, and best-selling guitar effects pedals in history. Introduced in 1978 as BOSS’s first distortion pedal, its bright orange metal casing, affordable price tag, and hard-clipping drive tone have made it a standard fixture on pedalboards for generations.
