Boss OD-1X & DS-1X
The OD- series and DS-1 have been pedalboard staples for decades, and Boss has recently seen fit to update their classic designs with the OD-1X and DS-1X.
We have a pair of these shiny, well-boxed stompers lying around the office, so we thought we’d share a few shots with you…
Boss OD-1X & DS-1X
Open up the OD-1X’s classy black box and you’ll find the classic Boss chassis, with a couple of tweaks – for one, both of these new pedals feature Boss’s Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP), which promises a smooth, refined overdrive tone

Visually, Boss has given these stompers a once-over, with a classy mirrored control plate, plus ergonomic chrome knobs

The DS-1X aims to provide responsive distortion sounds across the entire fretboard, without getting noisy

Both pedals have a standard array of level, low, high and drive/distortion knobs

These special-edition pedals also pay homage to Boss’s heritage, with the return of the silver screw – sure, it doesn’t affect the tone, but it’s a nice touch all the same

Boss’s latest offerings may look familiar on the outside, but it’s a brave new world inside
“It’s kind of scary to go through these…like, ‘Oh I’m going to take that back!’”: Albert Hammond Jr of the Strokes is (reluctantly) selling a heap of his stage-played gear on Reverb, including a Guild acoustic from the Yours To Keep tour
“There’s three of us playing guitar in Foo Fighters… A lot of tone details can get lost, which is what drew me to the Cleaver – that P-90 cut”: Chris Shiflett on how he found his weapon of choice with his Fender Cleaver Telecaster Deluxe
