General

Built in Japan, the Boss DS-1W Waza Distortion takes all of the character and legendary tone of the little orange box that first dropped in 1978 and backs it up with a fully updated, full analogue circuit that supports an even broader range and expanded versatility. Like every other Waza Craft offering, the Boss DS-1W has been assembled using the very best materials in the business, so wrapped up inside that iconic orange box lies a premium buffer that guarantees optimal signal transfer when the pedal is bypassed, and as a thoughtful bonus, Boss include a 9V battery so guitarists can get stuck in straight out of the box, and enjoy some classic 'sag' as the battery runs dry.

The Boss DS-1W Waza: Two-Mode Distortion

Besides the standard issue Tone, Level and Distortion control pots, the Boss DS-1W supplies a two-way mini-switch to flip this stompbox between two different modes. In Standard Mode, you get the much-loved, full and defined old-school sound of the original DS-1, which is supported by an innovative two-step amplification circuit. And in Custom Mode, you're treated to extra-thick tone framed by a solid mid-range and an improved sonic balance that punches aggressively through the mix - and this is on top of six decibels of extra output, meaning that the DS-1W can also serve as a stonking boost pedal.

Boss DS-1W Waza Distortion

Wrote the following about Boss DS-1W Waza Distortion
Ik hou niet van volledige distortion, ik speel meestal clean. Vanwaar dan deze aankoop ? Soms wil je een beetje distortion, zo net tegen het vervormen aan voor bepaalde muziekstukken. Mijn AC10 kan dit niet meer op een laag volume thuis omdat er andere JJ lampen in zitten die bijna niet meer vervormen op lager volume. De typische Vox crunch ben ik dus kwijt tenzij ik veel luider ga wat niet altijd kan thuis. Eerst had ik een Fender Santa Ana overdrive geprobeerd omdat de Vox crunch ook meer een overdrive is dan een distortion, maar deze heb ik teruggestuurd omdat er een enorme ruis op zat. Of het normaal is weet ik niet, ik ga van het standpunt uit dat deze defekt was. Nu deze Boss aangeschaft en zeer tevreden over. Ook op een laag volume thuis kan ik zo net tegen het vervormen aan een crunch hebben die ik mis op mijn AC10. Ik heb speciaal deze Waza versie gekocht omdat deze de zo bekende DS-1 van de jaren 70 standaard stand heeft en ook een extra Custom stand. In beide standen en met wat afstelwerk kan je een hele range van vervorming vinden. De wel bekende Boss kwaliteit en de handigheid van een kleinere pedal hebben ook bijgedragen tot deze aanschaf.

Goed pedaal, vooral in de custom stand, die klinkt namelijk veel voller dan de standaard ds1 sound die nogal dun en schril klinkt naar mijn mening. De truc blijft in mijn ervaring wel om de toneknop niet voorbij 12 uur te zetten. Deze C stand is eveneens veel responsiever op de volumeknop op je gitaar en ook naar de dynamiek van je spel.

De Boss DS-1 is zeker zijn geld waard. Je krijgt 2 verschillende topsounds in een behuizing. Ik gebuik het voor een al knallend marshall maar vanuit een clean geluid klinkt het ook top! De Waza edition is een uitstekende aanvulling!
