This advanced stomp combines decades of pedal expertise with the latest technologies, bringing you a breakthrough sound experience that’s only possible with BOSS innovation.

Review: Exceeded my expectations - I bought this based on reviews. It replaces the DA-2 pedal that I have. I wasn't sure if it was similar or not. I actually prefer this one to that one. This will get you into metal territory if you push it with an overdrive. I have it paired with an OD-1X and it sounds great.
Review: It Rocks! - Boss effect pedals are simply the best in terms of engineering and build quality. I have a fairly large collection of effect pedals, and at least half of them are overdrive or distortion. This one is REALLY good. A couple of considerations if you buy this one: This one is a different breed of cat. It has digital circuitry that gives it some special qualities: 1. Take the time to experiment with adjustments. It's different. It's very bright, and has very high gain, so the best sounds won't look like settings on a typical distortion like a DS-1. 2. Playing a Stratocaster, I'm getting the best sounds as follows: Gain: 10:00-12:00 (maybe lower with Humbuckers) Low: ~2:00 (boosted) High: ~9:30 (reduced) 3. This pedal has very high gain; If I get past 2:00, I hear a lot of digital noise. Gain of 10:00 - 12:00 is great. I get a few feedback squeals at this level. Hope this helps The results you get with all gain type effects (overdrive and distortion) will depend entirely on your guitar and amp. The DS-1X has the tones - just be patient and dial them in :-)

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Weird question time: I'm about 135lbs, and a bit over-enthusiastic. If I jump about 2 feet in the air and land on this pedal, will it survive?**
A: Dude, even if you weighed 531 lbs and did that - I don't think you're hurting a Boss.  Maybe don't land on the knobs in that case though eh?

**Q: some reviews say this ships with no power adapter. is this true? you have to find one and buy it separately?**
A: Not really that hard.  Just search here for guitar pedal power supplies.  9V 2.1x5.5mm, center negative.  Or buy a bunch of 9v batteries

**Q: Im new to pedals and would like to know if this comes by itself, if it does what cables do i need?**
A: You'll just need one guitar cable from your guitar to the pedal, and a second guitar cable from the pedal to your amp.  The pedal runs on a 9v battery, which is included.

**Q: Where is this pedal made?**
A: Taiwan. It hasn't affected the quality of the pedal, or of the sound in any way. Still the best $50 distortion pedal.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sound really great in expensive guitars
*by C***Y on June 15, 2017*

This is a Killer Pedal. Sound really great in expensive guitars. The sound is different in inexpensive guitars but still very good. The sound of this pedal depend the quality that you have in your gear.
