Since its founding in 1973, BOSS has developed unique and innovative guitar products for players around the world. In 1977, we began selling the compact pedal series that symbolizes the brand. The following year, they released the DS-1Distortion, which is synonymous with distortion. Prized for its edgy attack and smooth sustain, this classic compact pedal can be heard on countless songs. In 2023, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the establishment of the BOSS brand, we will release a special model DS-1-B50A with a metallic-painted housing decorated with silver screws, golden knob caps, and a commemorative emblem. The unit is given a special 4-digit serial number and is housed in a box with a commemorative emblem. This collector's item, with its time-tested distortion sound, is limited to just 7,000 units worldwide.

[BOSS DS-1-B50A: 50th Anniversary Limited Distortion Pedal] In 2023, to commemorate the 50th anniversary of BOSS, this special edition of the DS-1 was released. While preserving its legendary circuit design, the exterior and finer details have been updated in this collector’s model.

Limited to just 7,000 units worldwide, each pedal features a unique four-digit serial number and comes in a specially designed commemorative package.

The body is finished in a striking metallic orange, accented by silver-toned screws and gold-colored knobs and caps for a premium look. A commemorative emblem enhances its visual impact.

The circuit design is identical to the original DS-1, faithfully reproducing the classic distortion sound that has defined generations. It handles everything from subtle boost to aggressive, cutting distortion.

Equipped with three control knobs — DISTORTION, TONE, and LEVEL — allowing for precise tonal adjustments. The pedal responds dynamically to guitar volume changes, enabling smooth transitions from distortion to clean tones.

Compact and lightweight (approx. 400g / 70×125×55 mm), making it easy to fit into any pedalboard setup. Powered by a 9V battery or a compatible BOSS PSA-series AC adapter.

[Why It Stands Out] The DS-1-B50A is a rare fusion of performance and collectability, elevating the timeless DS-1 into a truly special edition. The dazzling metallic orange chassis with silver and gold accents sets it apart visually.

While maintaining the iconic DS-1 circuitry, this version adds a stylish aesthetic suitable for a wide range of genres including rock, metal, punk, and more. It also adapts well to tonal shifts via guitar volume controls, making it an expressive tool for creative players.

With its worldwide production limited to 7,000 units and each pedal individually numbered, it holds not only functional value but also long-term collectible appeal.

[In Conclusion] The BOSS DS-1-B50A is a remarkable limited edition that blends tradition with refined style. From its iconic sound to its stunning appearance and exclusivity, every detail makes it special. A must-have for distortion enthusiasts and gear collectors alike.
