If I jump about 2 feet in the air and land on this pedal, will it survive?** A: Dude, even if you weighed 531 lbs and did that - I don't think you're hurting a Boss. Maybe don't land on the knobs in that case though eh? **Q: some reviews say this ships with no power adapter. is this true? you have to find one and buy it separately?** A: Not really that hard. Just search here for guitar pedal power supplies. 9V 2.1x5.5mm, center negative. Or buy a bunch of 9v batteries **Q: Im new to pedals and would like to know if this comes by itself, if it does what cables do i need?** A: You'll just need one guitar cable from your guitar to the pedal, and a second guitar cable from the pedal to your amp. The pedal runs on a 9v battery, which is included. **Q: Where is this pedal made?** A: Taiwan. It hasn't affected the quality of the pedal, or of the sound in any way. Still the best $50 distortion pedal. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ザ定番 *by こ***ん on December 9, 2025* ザ定番です。 最近のペダルに比べて音量は小さめな気がしますが、音はいつものアレです。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ BOSSのDistortion *by 金***司 on October 18, 2025* The Distortion ! ペダルにマストアイテムの１台と思います。 ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 良い商品 *by そ***パ on October 8, 2025* 物は悪くないが、苦学生には高い ## Frequently Bought Together - Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal - Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive Pedal - MXR Patch Cable 6 in|15 cm - 3 Pack (3PDCP06) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kg/products/727788138-distortion-ds-1](https://www.desertcart.kg/products/727788138-distortion-ds-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kyrgyzstan* *Store origin: KG* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
