Boss DS-1 guitar pedal Japan
1 of 1 found this helpful This is a short comparison between Japan and Taiwan made versions. I have all different versions of the DS-1 and compared how they sounds. The original Japanese version sounds much better no fizzyness in its sound. It has more middle frequencies good for solos and bring you up in a gig. It is worth it to spend extra bucks for a version made in Japan if you like the sound of DS-1. For me the DS-1 sound good but it's personal taste of course. Overall the Boss pedals are build to last so those 70s and 80s pedals are still working like new ones. If you can find a one which has been taken care of it may look like a brand new only the rubber parts usually suffer and lose their properties.
