An overdrive pedal is used in music. It helps to increase the power of the amp without having the change any of the nobs. This can be used to increase tones.

Does the Boss DS-1 pedal work good with a Peavy amp?

The Boss DS-1 Distortion Pedal is an all-around good piece of equipment. Although it is on the inexpensive side, it still produces a solid tone that can be dialed-in with your amp to get everything from a lightly crunchy overdrive to a higher-gain distortion. Kurt Cobain and many others have used the orange pedal as an additional overdrive box to supplement their amplifier distortion. It will work as well with a Peavey amp as it will with anything. What it really comes down to is your own taste. As with any pedal, it will combine its own tones with the amp's sound to produce the final distortion tone. Either way, it's a good pedal (especially for the price) and it's worth experimenting with.
