Distortion Effects Pedals

Boss DS-1 Distortion

Avg price: $63.99

A Classic

Almost "The" Classic distortion pedal. Very good sound for the price, very traditional. I was really surprised how it Works good with bass guitar as well... I've tried a handful of distortion bass pedals (some of them very expensive...) until one day the guitarrista of my band came up with na old DS-1... It sounded better than anything before it, so it went to my board immediately. Later on I discovered a lot of bassists that use this pedal for distortion. The tone control allow you to keep to low end even at very high levels of distortion.

How could I live without this pedal for years?

I've added this pedal about 2 months ago to my board... Now, everytime I turn it on I come to the question: "How could I live without it for so many years???". Amazing transparent compression in a small box, rack quality compression on the palm of your hand. Very easy to set, controls with a lot of possibilities. If I have to choose to have only one pedal in my set it would be this one... A must have!

Pedals & Footswitches

Roland DP-10 Sustain Pedal

Avg price: $54.13

Reliable

Very reliable, perfect working sustain pedal. And durable as well; I have mine for 20+ years. The rubber support for foot also Works very well, avoiding it to slide away while you are playing.
