If youre looking for the next generation of distortion its pretty clear its the DS-1X. . Available from Guitar Pedals Amps & Stuff for only £ 137.75 – Digital distortion Future-proofing distortion pedals. The main talking point of the Boss DS-1X is its digital multi-dimensional processing which means it operates in a radically different way from most overdrive/distortion pedals. Whereas most distortion circuits are fully analog digitally processing the signal allows the DS-1X to do far more like adding natural compression. This compression gives everything a smooth edge and gives a polished outputted sound. This suits the tone choices of this pedal Boss wanted to make a modern distortion so treble and bass frequencies are emphasised over midrange here coupled with having a touch-sensitive dynamic response and the natural compression and you can be sure everything you put through this pedal comes out studio-ready; the DS-1X does all the hard work for you. None of this is at the detriment of tone however with the DS-1X still offering the stupidly hot gritty textures the standard DS-1 is famous for. Switching to digital simply allows extra features to be implemented like touch-sensitivity for superior responsiveness and additional clarity by processing different frequency bands separately.

Distortion is a guitar effect that alters the signal’s waveform, creating a gritty, aggressive sound characterized by a high level of harmonic content and sustain. It’s achieved by amplifying the input signal to the point where the amplifier or pedal’s circuitry begins to clip, causing the waveform to become squared off and jagged. This clipping produces harmonics that weren’t present in the original signal, resulting in the characteristic “gritty” or “dirty” tone associated with distortion. Distortion pedals typically feature controls for adjusting the amount of gain or distortion applied, as well as tone-shaping knobs to tailor the sound’s frequency response. Distortion is widely used in rock, metal, and punk music to add power, aggression, and sustain to guitar solos, riffs, and rhythm parts, creating a bold and intense sonic impact in the mix. Popular distortion pedals include the Boss DS-1, Pro Co Rat, and Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi.
