Boss DS-2 distortion pedal with two sound modes
If you want a distortion pedal that does more than one fixed drive sound, the Boss DS-2 is a strong choice. It combines classic BOSS distortion with two Turbo modes, giving you more variation in one pedal.
From crunchy backing riffs and hard rock tones to singing solos, the Boss DS-2 suits guitarists who want to switch quickly between different distortion characters. That makes it useful for rehearsals, playing at home and stage use.
Two Turbo modes for rhythm and lead
Turbo Mode I delivers warm, mellow distortion with a flat frequency response. That keeps the sound even across the spectrum, which works well for rhythm parts and broad rock sounds.
Turbo Mode II takes a different approach with biting distortion and extra emphasis in the midrange. That mid boost helps lead parts cut through a mix and gives solos more focus.
Hands-free switching between modes
The built-in external jack lets you connect an optional footswitch such as the FS-5L. This gives you direct, hands-free switching between the modes while you play.
Boss pedals have been a regular sight on pedalboards for years. If you want advice on pairing one with your guitar and amp, Magna Music can help with players on the team who know the gear in practice.
