Why We Love This Product!

The King of Classic Distortion!

Here it is. The #1 stompbox for legions of crunch-craving guitarists all over the planet. This DS-1 distortion pedal is a time-proven mainstay of rock and metal tone, no doubt about it. Three knobs make way for practically every rock sound you've ever heard. If you dig it loud and distorted, you've simply got to have a DS-1 in your rig. And that's that.

THE Rock/Grunge Distortion

Written by MMaker from Charlotte, NC USA

Music Background: Guitarist
What else can you say.... the DS-1 has been around forever. I've had mine for 10+ years and it has some scratches from gigs and stuff, but still sounds awesome. You can get a lot of different distortion crunches from it. I like having the tone knob at 10:00 and the Distortion knob at 2:00. Takes well to a lot of different guitars, but really likes hotter pickups to do it justice. Get one, you'll love it. And they're so affordable really.

‘‘ GearNuts was fabulous. My daughter's Casio keyboard quit working and were desperate to find a fix. GearNuts.com delivered! We were able to order the exact AC Power Adapter we needed and received it in no time. Thanks to GearNuts.com mu daughter is back on the keyboard! ’’ – Cheryl Dingwell-Keckritz

Cheryl... Around here, none of us wear power ties, and power lunches are few and far between. But when the Power Rangers are unavailable, and PowerBall just isn't bringing the money home like you hoped it would, it's great to remember that the powerful GearNuts.com store is here for all your power adapter needs!
