Pedal Boss Ds-2 Turbo Distortion. Tbm Troco

It is rumoured that the DS-2 was made used by Kurt Cobain of Nirvana in the early 90's but he is linked to a lot of equipment so who knows how reliable this rumour is. In mode I the DS-2 sounds a bit like the DS-1 or the OS-2 in dist mode. Mode II gives a sound more in the direction of the HM-2 or MT-2. The DS-2 production moved from Japan to Taiwan as early as November 1989 so the Made in Japan version is a bit of a rarity.
