Get to know them!

Combining over 35 years of pedal design, the DS-1X takes BOSS's famous distortion sound into a new era of guitar playing. The DS-1X features BOSS's innovative Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP) technology, which allows it to dynamically adapt to any register you play in. We've played with all of BOSS's MDP pedals here at Sweetwater, and we can assure you - these pedals are awesome! And thanks to the DS-1X's tone-shaping knobs, not only do you get clear and full-sounding distortion all across the fretboard, but you also get the control you need to make it your own.

BOSS DS-1X Distortion Pedal Features at a Glance:
  • A special-edition distortion pedal with incredibly clear sound and amazing dynamic performance
  • MDP provides distortion that adapts to any register you play in
  • Extreme string-to-string clarity lets you crank up the distortion without muddying up your sound
  • Level, Low, High, and Dist knobs offer an advanced range of sound shaping
  • Decked out with chrome knobs, a chrome control plate, and a vintage silver battery-compartment-access knob
Experience classic BOSS distortion in a whole new way with the DS-1X!

Offer applies only to single-receipt qualifying purchases. Select manufacturers may require that only the manufacturer’s products qualify towards the minimum purchase amount needed to be eligible for promotional financing. Otherwise, an invoice that meets the minimum purchase amount and contains at least one qualifying manufacturer product is eligible for promotional financing. No interest will be charged on promo purchase balance, and equal monthly payments are required on promo purchase until it is paid in full. The payments equal the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next whole dollar. These payments may be higher than the payments that would be required if this purchase was a non-promo purchase. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to the prior months’ rounding. Regular account terms apply to non-promo purchases. New Accounts as of 07/31/2025: Purchase APR is 34.99%. Penalty APR is 39.99%. Min Interest Charge is $2. Existing cardholders: See your credit card agreement terms. Subject to credit approval.

The estimated required monthly payment shown which excludes taxes and delivery equals the amount financed divided by the number of months in the promo period, rounded up to the next cent. During the last month(s) of the promo period the required monthly payment may be reduced due to this rounding. These payments apply only with the financing offer shown. If you make these payments by the due date each month, you should pay off this amount financed within the promo period, if it is the only balance you are paying off. If you have other balances on your account, this payment will be added to any other minimum monthly payments.
