Boss DS-2
Although it bears the same "DS" name, the Boss DS-2 Turbo Distortion is circuit speaking very far from the DS-1, using several transistors and no op amps. It has with two modes producing a distinctly different sound, "I" and "II", the latter has more volume, more midrange and it is best suited for solos. These modes can also be selected via an optional footswitch. The first production was made in Japan starting from December 1987. The Made in Japan models are claimed to be "better sounding" then the next production which moved to Taiwan.
