What This Pedal Is

The Monoprice DS-6 is a true bypass analog distortion pedal built to recreate the vintage tone of a mid-to-late 70s circuit. It uses a full-size metal enclosure and high-quality switches for durability on stage or in the studio. The unit operates on a 9V battery or an external power adapter for flexible placement.

Before You Order

Confirm your pedalboard has space for a standard full-size enclosure and that you can supply 9V centre-negative power if not using a battery. The true bypass design removes the circuit from your signal chain when disengaged, so ensure your other pedals buffer long cable runs if needed. No special mounting hardware is included beyond the standard chassis.

Who This Suits

Guitarists seeking an affordable, authentic recreation of a classic 70s distortion sound for rock and lead work will appreciate the simple control layout and rugged build. Players who require multiple gain stages, built-in EQ shaping, or modern high-gain voicings should look at other designs. It is a single-effect stompbox, not a multi-effects processor.
