Product Description

The Roland DS-1W Distortion Pedal takes the classic DS-1 and enhances it with Waza Craft circuitry, delivering modern tone-shaping options while maintaining the original’s aggressive distortion. Featuring Standard and Custom modes, the DS-1W lets players switch between the classic high-gain crunch and a warmer, fuller distortion with enhanced low-end response.


The Standard mode captures the legendary DS-1 tone, ideal for gritty rock and punk distortion, while the Custom mode adds greater dynamics and smoother mids, making it perfect for modern rock and metal. With dedicated Level, Tone, and Distortion controls, dialing in the perfect drive is quick and intuitive.


Built for professional and touring musicians, the Roland DS-1W Distortion Pedal offers high-grade components, a true bypass circuit, and BOSS’s legendary durability, making it a top-tier choice for distortion lovers.

  • Special edition Waza Craft pedal for the ultimate BOSS tone experience.
  • Newly revised two-stage gain circuit with discrete analog components.
  • Standard mode delivers the legendary sound of the original DS-1.
  • Custom mode provides fatter distortion tones with focused midrange and increased touch response.
  • Versatile Tone knob provides wide-ranging frequency control fine-tuned for each mode.
