Versatile distortion with classic character and real edge
Size: DS-2 Style: Basic Pattern Name: Pedal
I’ve been using the Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion and it’s become one of my go-to distortion pedals, especially when I want more attitude and flexibility than a basic distortion box. The standout feature for me is the dual turbo modes — it gives the pedal two distinct personalities in one box. Tone & character This isn’t a one-note distortion pedal — it really does cover a wide range of driven tones: • In Turbo Mode I, the distortion is warm and rich with a solid low end, making it great for crunchy rhythm parts that still feel musical. • Switching to Turbo Mode II kicks in a mid-range boost that really cuts through for leads or more biting, aggressive sounds. That mid boost really helps solos punch through a mix, and the extra gain stage gives a beefier edge compared to the classic DS-1. Many players describe Turbo Mode II as having more midrange presence and saturation, which definitely shows when I crank it up. Controls & usability The controls are simple but effective — Level, Tone, Distortion — with the turbo switch giving you access to both sound modes. It’s intuitive, and I can dial it in quickly whether I want a gritty crunch or more cutting distortion. I also like that there’s a remote jack so you could hook up a footswitch to toggle modes hands-free if you wanted to (I haven’t used that yet, but it’s a cool pro-type feature). Where it shines I find this particularly great with a clean amp or slightly overdriven channel — it brings out the pedal’s voice without making things muddy. And because of the two modes, it gives me options for both rhythm drive and more expressive solo distortion without needing a second pedal. Players online often talk about the DS-2 having a thicker distortion and less fizz than some classic Boss distortion pedals, giving it a slightly different vibe that can be really useful in rock and grunge contexts. A few things to note It’s not the tightest high-gain distortion in the world — if you want super modern metal tones, you might prefer something with more EQ control or dedicated high-gain voicing. But for classic rock, grunge, and expressive blues-leaning distortion, it’s excellent. There’s also a bit of noise if you crank everything all the way up — that’s pretty normal for big analog distortion, but a noise gate can help if that bothers you. Bottom line The Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion is a versatile, fun, and very musical distortion pedal. I love having two distinct distortion voices in one box — from warm crunch to mid-focused aggression — and it’s built with the usual Boss durability I expect on my pedalboard. ... show more

Two in one pedal, highly recommend.
Size: DS-2 Style: Basic Pattern Name: Pedal
The DS1 is legendary for a reason and the DS2 builds on that, the turbo mode adds clarity with a mid range/treble boost it sounds like. So youve got the DS1 in normal mode and the DS2 in turbo mode. Must have for anybody looking for ear melting distortion, highly recommend

Picks up subtle tone articulations with the right settings. (Edited: 8/17/2012)
Size: DS-2 Style: Basic Pattern Name: Pedal
I have added a comment to this review that further expands on actual settings used to make this pedal sound great through headphones. Pros: On JC Clean I used chorus and phaser with some reverb and gain. Sounds just fine with additional gain thrown in. Please keep in mind that I am using a bridge Super Distortion, and a neck Humbucker From Hell, pickup. Detects a lot of subtle playing nuances and articulations well when put on the right settings. Oh, and if you read the comment I added below, I used the external speaker in this context. The external speaker also bolsters the sound I found for headphones, just minor gain and tone alterations to taste. More volume has a great effect, so don't be afraid to really crank it up through some speakers that can handle it. Be sure to use caution when using headphones, as it can get real loud in there. Cons: "Three modes - MTR (multi-track recorder), eBand, and Live Rec Records directly to SD/SDHC memory card (up to 32 GB) High-quality stereo condenser microphone built in for instant audio capture 64 V-Tracks and eight simultaneous playback tracks eBand function for phrase training and play-along tracks Huge library of built-in backing and rhythm patterns World-class COSM amps and effects onboard Use as a USB audio interface with built-in effects SONAR X1 LE software included" I just got this effects pedal. If you are skilled at messing with tones then this pedal will sound great, especially if you have a decent amp and pickups in your guitar. My only gripe is that above statement about SONAR X1 LE software being included along with the slightly higher amazon price is factually incorrect. I thoroughly checked all that was shipped to me, plus I checked online in case of an email pertaining to such. No such evidence was found. Way to be misleading AMAZON. ... show more

Love it
Size: DS-2 Style: Basic Pattern Name: Pedal
Legendary pedal, awesome for soloing, it catches the high frequencies extraordinarily, giving a bright sound without losing body. There's nothing better than the Turbo mode of this thing

Perfect intro to the world of pedals
Size: DS-2 Style: Basic Pattern Name: Pedal
This pedal is everything I need as a newbie to the world of pedals and accessories, and its really got the sound you want to go from a clean/quieter sound to then stomp it and ratchet up the volume and distortion. And the distortion isn't TOO distorted, it's a great balance. Highly recommend!

Love the sound! It’s a little on the bassier side. Ds1 sounds better more aggressive and versatile than the ds2

Replaced my DS-1
Size: DS-2 Style: Basic Pattern Name: Pedal
I've used my DS-1 for years, and loved it, but I have always had an issue where the clean signal is higher volume than full level on the DS-1. I purchased a boost pedal which worked, but didn't like having to press many pedals in a row every time switching sounds. I was just about to buy a pedal switcher, and watched a review showing the DS-1 vs DS-2. The DS-2 has a higher output level volume!! I cant believe I didnt know this before. I've waited all these years to upgrade, but worth it. Where I used to have the level maxed, I can now have it 3/4 and its higher volume than the clean tone. ... show more
