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.

Used
Buying used guitars, effects pedals, amplifiers, and other music gear in the UK offers a treasure trove of opportunities for musicians looking to expand their sound palette without breaking the bank. One key item you might want to buy is a used electric guitar. Vintage models or high-end brands like Fender, Gibson, or PRS often maintain excellent quality over the years and can be found at significantly lower prices than new ones. These guitars often come with a history and character that new instruments lack, offering unique tonal qualities and a distinctive feel that can inspire your playing. Additionally, many used guitars come with upgrades or modifications that can enhance their playability and sound, providing added value.
Effects pedals are another great category for purchasing used. Classic pedals like the Boss DS-1 Distortion, Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi, or the Ibanez Tube Screamer have stood the test of time and are sought after for their distinctive sounds. Buying these used can save you money while still delivering the iconic tones that have shaped countless recordings. Used multi-effects units, like the Line 6 Helix or Boss GT-1000, can also be found at more affordable prices and offer a wide range of sounds in a single package. Amplifiers, particularly tube amps from brands like Marshall, Vox, or Fender, are another smart buy in the used market. These amps are known for their rich, warm tones and durability, and purchasing them second-hand can provide you with professional-quality sound without the hefty price tag. By opting for used gear, you can access a wider variety of high-quality equipment that might otherwise be out of reach, allowing you to build a versatile and inspiring setup.

Along with products that carry the BOSS brand, the BOSS engineering team has been involved with developing key Roland-branded guitar products since the beginning.
