Used Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion Pedal - 2

The Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion is a true mainstay of the alternative rock world, taking the legendary "orange box" gain of the original DS-1 and giving it a massive adrenaline shot. Since its debut in the late '80s, the DS-2 has become the go-to "secret weapon" for players like Kurt Cobain and John Frusciante, offering two distinct modes that cover everything from classic grunge textures to a thick, singing lead tone that screams through any mix.

The pedal features two switchable modes: Turbo I, which delivers that familiar, hard-clipping Boss distortion with a flat frequency response, and Turbo II, which adds a powerful mid-range boost. This second mode is where the DS-2 really shines, providing a "vocal" quality to solos and a saturated, almost fuzz-like thickness to riffs. With an added Remote jack for hands-free mode switching and the legendary "built-like-a-tank" Boss construction, this is a versatile, high-gain essential that belongs in every player's arsenal. This pedal is in good condition.
