The BOSS DS-1W Waza Craft Distortion is a premium evolution of the classic BOSS DS-1, offering the familiar punchy distortion sound that has shaped rock guitar for decades, along with enhanced tonal flexibility and a more powerful, expressive voice.
Designed and manufactured in Japan as part of BOSS's Waza Craft series, the DS-1W combines an all-analog circuit with two selectable distortion modes. It can deliver everything from crunchy rhythm tones and gritty blues-rock to thick, sustained lead sounds and aggressive hard-rock distortion.
