Product Overview
VSN LEF-301D DIST-IV is a compact full analog distortion pedal faithfully cloned from legendary BOSS DS-1 classic circuit, delivering versatile mid-forward distortion tones for punk, classic rock, hard rock, grunge, thrash metal and blues, designed exclusively for electric guitarEffects Pe....Top three-position toggle switch provides three tiered gain voicings covering light crunch to extreme saturated metal distortion:
- Original Mode: Standard vintage DS-1 tone, balanced mild midrange grit, dynamic low-gain crunch for classic rock rhythm riffs and blues rhythm chords, retains full picking touch response;
- Extra Mode: Boosted midrange punch, thicker harmonic saturation, tighter defined distortion for punk, garage rock and mid-gain lead lines;
- Ultra Mode: Max boosted high gain, dense saturated heavy distortion, sharp cutting treble bite, perfect for fast thrash metal palm mute riffs and soaring high-gain solos.Three intuitive control knobs realize full-range tone shaping:
- DIST: Adjust overall distortion saturation depth from subtle light grit to extreme ultra heavy metal drive;
- TONE: Variable high-frequency EQ, soften harsh piercing treble or retain crisp cutting upper harmonics;
- LEVEL: Independent master output volume to match clean bypass loudness and eliminate abrupt volume jumps when toggling effect.Gloss bright red die-cast zinc alloy ultra-mini chassis occupies minimal space on crowded pedalboards, ideal for bedroom practice, studio classic rock distortion recording and portable live stage gigs. Built with industrial-standard 3PDT hardwire true bypass circuit, fully preserving the raw uncolored clean tone of your instrument with zero signal loss, bass roll-off or artificial tone coloration when distortion is disabledReverb.
