It’s a distortion pedal legend – so what happens when Boss gives it the Waza treatment?

Welcome to the show! For those of us who are old enough to remember…
We know what it was like to plug in that distortion pedal for the first time and feel like every problem you could ever have dreamed of having… had simply vanished. Lost in a vicarious haze of stadium-conquering, spandex-clad, fist-pumping, pheromone producing, guitar-face-gurning bliss, that diminutive disher of dirt put the shreddie in your Eddie and why in your Vai. By way of which GCSE Creative Writing introduction brings us to the venerable Professor Of Distortion: the Boss DS-1.
That was then, this is now, and in between there was some other stuff. Let us rock like men in middle age do. Born to be mild? Maybe…
Enjoy the show!
