Around 1988 BOSS made the decision to cut prices in the face of fierce market competition from the likes of DOD and Peavey. Between 1989 and 1990, in order to cut costs, BOSS decided to relocate production of a handful of pedals from Japan to Taiwan, taking the DS-1 with it. Use of the TA7136AP chip continued until 1994 when the circuit encountered...
In another effort to cut costs BOSS started manufacturing the DS-1 in Malaysia. In 2016, it was reported that the new Made-in-Malaysia (what I’m calling MIM) DS-1 pedals made the shift from through-hole components to surface-mount technology(SMT). This was a major blow to the modification community, since many mods for the DS-1 relied on there bein...
The BOSS DS1-4A 40th anniversary version was released in 2017 sporting a sleek black enclosure. Excitement over this release in the modding community centered around the fact that it was through-hole, as opposed to the SMT version they were manufacturing at the time. In October 2022, however, word surfaced that a black 40th anniversary pedal was fo...

If you’ve used any of BOSS’s world-famous stompboxes, this tank-tough footswitch will feel instantly familiar under your boots. However, whereas a typical stompbox offers a simple on/off operation, the RC-1 works slightly differently. To start recording a loop, press once. To stop recording and start the playback, press again.
