Boss Pedals

Here it is. The #1 stompbox for legions of crunch-craving guitarists all over the planet. This DS-1 distortion pedal is a time-proven mainstay of rock and metal tone, no doubt about it. Three knobs make way for practically every rock sound you've ever heard. If you dig it loud and distorted, you've simply got to have a DS-1 in your rig. And that's that.

You need this pedal. Period. Whether you play acoustic guitar, electric guitar, or bass, you need to be in tune. No amount of friends in the crowd will save you from bombing if you're up there making a fool out of yourself because you're obviously out of tune and unprofessional. Think of Boss's TU-3 tuner pedal as your best friend onstage. It's stupid-easy to use, it's easy to see even in bright sunlight, and it's built to keep you sounding good for years to come. You get all kinds of modes that let you tailor the TU-3 for your particular setup.

The recommended power supply unit for products including many BOSS compact pedals, the DB-66/88 metronomes, DR-Series drum machines, FC-Series foot controllers, MC-202, SH-101, SP-202, TR-626, and all TU-Series tuners.

Everybody loves those thick blues tones. You know the ones we're talking about...somehow warm, smooth, and deliciously crunchy all at the same time. And even though it's decades after those original blues tones inspired audiences and future-musicians alike, you can still snag that sound. (And it doesn't take an expensive rig to do it.) Plug into the BOSS BD-2 "Blues Driver" pedal. It gives you the vibe of a driven tube amplifier, just the right amount of warm distortion and overdrive. Roll back your volume and you've got a different beast altogether. Drive the BD-2 harder and feel yourself smile. If you dig on blues tones, you've got to get the BOSS BD-2.

Compression is great in the studio as a way to control or modify the dynamics of a signal. Guitarists have found compression to be a perfect addition to their pedalboards, giving them big sustain for solos, as well just simply controlling playing dynamics - not to mention being essential equipment for chicken-pickin'! BOSS's CS-3 compression/sustain pedal does all of this and more while keeping your signal integrity intact. The CS-3 is a great tool for bassists, too, making sure the low E sounds as loud and clear as the high G. You get onboard control over Level, Tone (EQ), Attack, and Sustain for precise sound shaping. The CS-3 is a top-notch compressor at the perfect price.

Fearsome distortion! Super-long sustain and heavy mids and lows like a stack of overdriven amps lets you show 'em your teeth. A three-band EQ sports them many distortion textures all at your command.

Have you even been standing there before your amp, axe in hand, thinking to yourself, "if only my sound was a little noisier...." Didn't think so. The problem is, some of the best pickups and effects are just plain noisy - there's really nothing you can do about that, it's just a fact of life. So you're left with two options, live with the noise, or deal with it. Here's a killer way of dealing with guitar noise. The BOSS NS-2 Noise Suppressor is an industry standard way of dealing with the pain of noisy gear. At first glance, you'll probably think the NS-2 is just a simple gate - it blocks out the sound of the noise until you hit it with a loud enough sound and the gate opens. But that's not quite it. The NS-2 uses an intelligent noise detection circuit that hones in on the sound of noise, so it won't pinch off your natural attacks. In the end you get more tone and less noise. What's not to love about the BOSS NS-2?

Guitarists, are you ready to take your playing to the next level? Of course you are, and here's how you do it! As soon as you grab a guitar and plug into the ME-70, you're ready to make music and sound awesome doing it. Whether you write your own tunes, play covers, or just like to rock out, the big brother of the popular ME-25 is loaded with everything you need. The ME-70 isn't just another stompbox — it's like having a giant suitcase brimming over with effects units at your feet! The difference is that the ME-70 won't sprawl out across your entire playing area, making being onstage easier to manage.

Do you play like you mean it, but need a little something extra to make your keyboard sing? Here's a one-pedal ticket to more expressive keyboard playing: Boss's FV-500L volume/expression pedal. Use it as a volume pedal to swell and sculpt sounds and dynamics, or use the FV-500L's expression output to take further control of your keyboard's functions. Heck, you can use it for both functions at the same time! If you're a synth player, you're gonna love the avenues this pedal opens up. You even get a built-in tuner output. Talk about professional!

Faster than a fluttering flanger, able to leap lifeless sound in a single bound - look, on the stage! Is it a verb? Is it a wah? No, it's Super Chorus! That's right boys and girls, when you need something extra rich and shiny to spruce up your timid tone, you need a BOSS CH-1 Super Chorus pedal. Quite possibly the most popular chorus in the whole universe, the BOSS CH-1 will add stellar sparkle and deeply dense definition to your axe. Armed with the standard controls: Effect Level, EQ, Rate, and Depth, the CH-1 lets you dial in tones from a subtle thickening to a dizzying wave to a full-on Exorcist twist! Plus, the BOSS CH-1 Super Chorus gives you two outputs for lush stereo effects, so even if your axe happens to have a keybed, you're good to go!
