he BOSS TU-03 is a clip-on tuner and metronome designed to deliver accurate pitch and tempo referencing with easy operation for musicians at practice, on stage, or in the studio. It quickly attaches to your instrument’s headstock via spring-loaded, padded clip and shows tempo or metronome information on its large backlit display. A built-in speaker enables convenient monitoring of the metronome beats or reference pitch, which is adjustable from 430 to 450 Hz.
The TU-05 brings reliable and accurate tuning to the headstock of your favorite stringed instrument, with a large, high-contrast color display and four different tuning modes. A long-lasting rechargeable battery is built in, eliminating the cost and hassle of battery swaps.
The BC-2 Combo Drive guitar pedal by BOSS is designed for blues, jazz, and classic rock. It provides warm, classic British combo-amp tone along with a natural and dynamic response to picking nuance. The pedal generates a classic “AC-inspired” British combo-amp tone made famous in the 60s and still used today, but also allows you to dial into higher gain or cleaner tones across a wider frequency range than the classic amp could provide on its own.
The CS-3 Compression Sustainer Pedal from BOSS compresses louder signals while boosting lower signals, providing smooth sustain without degrading the original sound quality. This pedal is great for bringing out the attack in your playing, catering to chickin pickin’ techniques, country and western, and lead playing.
A part of their Waza Craft series, the BOSS DC-2W combines two classic Roland Dimension effects in a single pedal, one suitably sized for your pedalboard. Similar to a chorus effect, the DC-2W provides time-based manipulation that adds dimension to your sound, subtly enhancing both width and depth. The pedal offers two modes: Standard, which gives you the sound of the original DC-2 Dimension C pedal, and SDD-320 mode, which authentically reproduces the sound of a vintage Roland unit heard on many hit records. The interface is rather simple and intuitive: four different selectors switch among presets. Press two selectors at once to unlock even more presets. Between the two modes, you can get 20 different sounds out of the pedal.
Intended for guitarists, the BOSS DD-200 is a digital delay pedal that packs many of the DD-500’s features and sounds into a smaller footprint. The pedal offers 12 different types of delay, including tape, analog, lo-fi, reverse, and many more. You can control these effects with Time, Feedback, Effect Level, Tone, and Modulation Depth. You’ll also note the Parameter knob, whose function changes depending on the effect you select.
With an expanded delay time of up to 10 seconds and new delay sounds, the BOSS DD-8 Digital Delay Pedal can find a way onto your pedalboard. You can apply the pedal to nearly any playing style. The DD-8 is a digital delay with high-fidelity repeats, but it also offers eleven delay modes in total including a loop mode. Analog, Tape, Reverse, Shimmer, Warp, and more, the pedal gives you much in the way of options.
The DD-3T from BOSS is a compact digital delay effects pedal for guitar. It enables you to create different effects by delaying your guitar’s signal between 12.5 and 800 ms. These delays are segmented into three different ranges for ease of setup. You’ll find this pedal a suitable tool for adding ambience or discrete echoes.
The DS-1 is a classic BOSS distortion pedal that has been used by many famous rock guitarists, such as Joe Satriani. This versatile pedal can be used for guitar or keyboards, and provides Distortion, Level and Tone control to tailor overall sound as desired.
Designed for acoustic musicians on the go or just jamming out at home, the DR-01S Rhythm Partner from BOSS is an electronic percussion engine which provides organic-sounding, simple grooves in a variety of rhythms, styles, and instrument combinations. Use the DR-01S to bolster your performance as you busk in the park, or simply replace your staid, rigid metronome with a pattern sporting a little more groove and bounce. In either scenario, an on-board speaker plays back rhythmic samples in 24-bit digital conversion to ensure high sound quality.
Bring on the funk with the AW-3 Dynamic Wah Pedal from BOSS. By itself as a stompbox, the AW-3 functions like an auto-wah. Set the rate and let the funk begin. For easy tempo changes, the tap-tempo mode allows you to use the footswitch to tap out the desired tempo, and the AW-3 will follow. The AW-3 also functions dynamically, like an envelope filter, using the level of your guitar’s signal to modulate the “position” of the wah. Funk and fusion players like guitarists Guthrie Govan and bassist Bootsy Collins have used this type of sound to great rhythmic effect. It was also an integral part of Jerry Garcia’s signature guitar sound.
Designed for the real-world needs of professional performing musicians, the ES-8 from BOSS is a highly programmable guitar effects switching system offering an unprecedented amount of routing flexibility. The ES-8 features eight effects loops with the ability to change the routing order and create parallel effects chains. The loops are controlled by an analog switch array that provides fast, flexible, and transparent switching. When a loop is not active, your guitar completely bypasses it for clear and pure signal transfer. Separate input and output buffers are available, and these can be switched on/off individually as needed.
The FDR-1 from BOSS, in conjunction with Fender, brings you the sound of the 1965-era Fender Deluxe Reverb, known for its responsive, overdriven sound. Level, gain, treble, bass, vibrato, and reverb controls controls let you fine-tune your sound. The FDR-1 can also be used as a pre-gain pedal, being placed before an amp that’s already overdriven to add the Deluxe Reverb tone to it.
The FV-30H from BOSS is a volume pedal with a rugged aluminum die-cast body that provides the guitarist or bassist a space-saving solution when the pedal is integrated into their pedalboard rigs. The pedal features a smooth pivot action that insures small volume changes are registered, and a dedicated jack for conveniently connecting to a tuner.
This is a momentary unlatching footswitch/pedal that works with either electronic keyboards as a sustain pedal, or for quickly engaging and disengaging effects processors. The pedal is only active for the duration of time that it is depressed, and an example of it’s creative application would be the emphatic punctuation of specific musical phrases, during an instrumental solo, with a dramatic delay or reverb effect setting.
