MGR/Andrew Eaton « Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion »
Published on 06/06/03 at 15:00I bought this pedal new at Murch Music in Cambridge, Ontario for $120 Canadian (I could have gotten it for less if I had shopped around, but I was trading in a Dano pedal anyways).
Let's get one thing straight: this pedal is the best distortion pedal out there. There are so many settings (2 different distortion modes, yay!) that you can get anything from a slight overdrive to very heavy distortion. The DS-2 is best for punk, however. Another plus: you can also use it as a volume pedal for switching between rythym and lead volumes.
Nothing
Like all Boss pedals, it's made like a rock, with steel protecting the electronics, and rubber on the bottom and on the switch. Even with all the metal protecting it, the pedal is less then a pound!
If you're looking for a top-end distortion pedal, this is it. With so many settings you'll get any sound you want.
