A classic but better
JohnHark 20.02.2023
This ds1 really gets better with the waza treatment. Less harsh, (or more if you get back to classic mode). It's less noisy. Does the garage tone even better.

Legendary Distortion Pedal with Japanese Craftsmanship

The Boss DS-1w chorus pedal is a testament to Boss's unrivaled build and sonic quality. As part of the Waza Craft series, it combines vintage charm with modern innovation.

Its sturdy construction and lush distortion effects deliver legendary tones. With Japanese craftsmanship and attention to detail, the DS-1w is a must-have for any guitarist seeking enduring excellence.

Two excellent pedals in one
Jkeating 23.02.2024
With both the custom and classic modes, you really have two distinct distortion pedals in one. Everyone knows the classic DS1 sound, but the custom setting is a different beast with a more pronounced mid-range and fuller overall sound. I find myself using the custom 90% of the time, but it is good to have the classic DS1 circuit in the same pedal.
