Boss Turbo Distortion Ds-2 Original
This is a rare opportunity to own an Original Japanese Boss DS-2 Pedal as used by Kurt Kobain DS-2 TURBO Distortion In mode I the DS-2 sounds a bit like the DS-1 or the OS-2 in dist mode. Mode II gives a sound more in the direction of the HM-2 or MT-2. The DS-2 production moved from Japan to Taiwan as early as November so the Made in Japan version is a bit of a rarity. Controls Level Control adjusts the amount of signal going out to your amp. Tone Control adjusts the tone of the signal. Distortion Control adjusts the amount of distortion added to the signal. Mode I: produces a powerful distortion sound with flat characteristics, without being muffled even with volume turned down. The special Turbo Circuit serve to remove unpleasant shrill caused by distorted frequencies. Mode II: produces a sticky distortion with very unique characteristics in the middle range frequencies.
