The Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion is a powerful and versatile pedal that builds on the legendary DS-1 with added gain, tone-shaping, and dynamic response. With its two selectable modes (Standard and Turbo), the DS-2 covers everything from classic rock crunch to modern high-gain aggression. The Turbo Mode I offers a warm, fat distortion ideal for rhythm work, while Turbo Mode II provides a sharp, biting tone perfect for soaring leads. Equipped with Level, Tone, and Distortion controls, this pedal makes it easy to dial in a wide range of tones. Built in the rugged Boss compact chassis, the DS-2 is road-ready and trusted by players worldwide — famously used by Kurt Cobain and other rock icons.
