The BOSS DS-2 Turbo Distortion delivers a powerful evolution of the classic DS-1 sound. It offers two selectable modes that provide distinct distortion voices for rhythm and lead playing. Mode I delivers a warm and even distortion ideal for chords and general drive tones. Mode II boosts the mids for sharper attack and solo tones that cut through a mix. The pedal includes a remote jack to switch modes using an external footswitch. Its rugged compact design makes it reliable for both stage and studio use.
