Product information

Product no: ROL-DS-2

General

With the DS-2 Turbo Distortion, Boss haven't just dropped a reissue of the legend that is the DS-1 stompbox, but have expanded its range to two different distortion flavours toggled via a Mode switch. Flip into Turbo I and you're treated to the classic round and balanced character of the DS-1 distortion we all know and love. Flip up into Turbo II and light a fire under your tone to give the mid-range a fierce boost for solo and rhythm parts that need even more power.

The Boss DS-2: Switch Manually or Remotely

While you could manually switch between Turbo modes, you can just as easily flip between them in real-time using an external footswitch like the Boss FS-5L. Before you even start messing with modes, the Dist pot can be used to set the distortion intensity, while the Level pot can be used to match the effect volume with your dry, bypassed signal and the Tone pot can be used to deepen or brighten the output.

Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion

I love everything about this pedal. The distortion has great and distinctive sound with or without the turbo (with ought Kobain with Frusciante), but can be dialled in to create a good variation not a one trick pony sweet spot wise. The sound being most important next up is build, Boss pedals are built like tanks and inspire confidence with their build.

Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion

Onverwoestbaar en eenvoudig in te stellen. Leuk dat er 2 distortions op zitten en dat je dan kan schakelen via een op het pedaal aan te sluiten pedaal. Het is voor mij nog wel even zoeken hoe ik m nu het beste aansluit. Niet met de andere effecten in de effectsloop maar tussen gitaar en directe gitaarinput op de versterker lijkt het beste te werken. Boss zou daar zelf wat duidelijkere informatie over mogen verschaffen. Maar misschien kijk ik er over heen.

Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion

BOSS prijs-kwaliteit geen betere te vinden. De DS-2 doet wat je er van kan verwachten, typische BOSS Distortion die door de mix snijdt maar dan Turbo :-). En dat voor minder dan 100 euro. Machtig! Zeker een must have voor de Frusciantefans.

Geeft een prachtige distortion sound voor je gitaar en je kan er best makkelijk Nirvana's sound ermee krijgen, top pedaal! Ziet er mooi uit, de bouw is goed, en de distortion werkt goed.

Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion

Schitterend pedaal van Boss. Voor fans van Kurt Cobain (turbo 1) of Frusciante (turbo 2) is dit wel een must. In combinatie met de Wah 10 van Ibanez, ook te koop hier bij Bax, heb je de ideale combinatie om de solo's van John Frusciante qua geluid na te bootsen :)

Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion

Het ideale pedaal voor wie distortion wilt die ook stevig kan klinken met singe-coil gitaren zoals een strat. Voor de Frusciante fans zoals mij is het een must-have. Eigenlijk is dit pedaaltje 2-in-1, want op mode 1 lijkt de sound wat meer op de Boss DS-1, terwijl de turbo mode een extra boost geeft. Een tip voor een mooi, warm geluid: zorg ervoor dat je clean sound een beetje 'dirty' is. Dit kan je doen door de gain op je versterker wat te verhogen tot dat je een beetje distortion krijgt als je de snaren hard raakt. Bij een superclean geluid zal dit pedaaltje namelijk nogal ruw klinken.
