Meanwhile, the DS-1 is compatible with PSA-series AC adapters as well as 9 volt batteries.
The DS-1 Distortion offers players a more subtle distortion effect as it reproduces subtle playing dynamics while still ensuring even distortion at all times. Its three control knobs allow users to adjust the DS-1's basic settings, resulting in greater tonal versatility as well as offering light to high distortion amounts. Additionally, the DS-1 Distortion can be run for approximately 10 hours on a single 9 volt battery, making it more portable.
