Pedals that stack with the Boss DS-1 Distortion

Boss BD-2 Blues Driver

What Boss BD-2 Blues Driver brings here leans toward dynamic — that's worth building a pairing around

Keeley Red Dirt Overdrive

What Keeley Red Dirt Overdrive brings here leans toward full — that's worth building a pairing around

Maxon CP-9Pro+

Maxon CP-9Pro+'s own compressed character is the real reason this is worth trying

Universal Audio Dream

Universal Audio Dream's transparent voice goes after Boss DS-1 Distortion in the signal chain — it's not there to compete with Boss DS-1 Distortion's own bright character

Keeley Vibe-O-Verb

Put Keeley Vibe-O-Verb after Boss DS-1 Distortion in the signal chain, clear of Boss DS-1 Distortion's own gain stage — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)

Walrus Audio Fable

Keep Boss DS-1 Distortion's bright voice out front: Walrus Audio Fable goes after Boss DS-1 Distortion in the signal chain so its full voice doesn't muddy it — goes in the amp's FX loop (or last, into a clean amp)
