Read More »Kurt Cobain was one of the most influential musicians of the early '90s, as he paved the way for an entire genre of music. This genre was largely based on the distortion sound used by many of the musicians during that time span. It became known as the "grunge" era. But which pedal did Kurt Cobain use to create the grungy Nirvana sound? There were primarily two that he used over the years: Boss DS-1 distortion Boss DS-2 turbo Sometimes he used them on their own while other times he would pair them with the dirty channel on his amplifier. He also had a SansAmp box that he used here and there. Let's walk through Kurt Cobain's distortion pedals. Read more: Kurt Cobain's amp settings

Read More »You'll notice from the graphic that Cobain also used a Tech 21 SansAmp OD/Distortion pedal, though this didn't get nearly as much attention as the Boss boxes. What's weird about his upgrade to the DS-2, is that the DS-2's only difference from the DS-1 is the "Turbo" mode, which Cobain reportedly never used. Perhaps if he had continued his career, he would have made more use of the Turbo mode. But by most accounts - particularly his guitar tech - Cobain just used the DS-2 in the DS-1 mode with the same sound and settings he had before. Below, you can read our article comparing the DS-1 and DS-2 in a side-by-side analysis. You can also browse the DS-2 on Sweetwater, as before. Conclusion These are the two distortion pedals Cobain used to create Nirvana's sound. He didn't ever really expand his rig or use anything fancy. In a lot of ways, his tone and distortion were really simple. He just found stuff he liked and played it without a lot of fuss. For those wanting to re-create the Nirvana sound, the DS-1 or the DS-2 are simple (and affordable) ways to get there. Your Questions Do you have questions about Kurt Cobain's distortion pedals?
