BOSS Pedals

Boss compact pedals have defined the world of guitar effects since the 70s. Almost every person who plays an electric guitar or bass will recognise (and will have almost definitely used) one of Boss' bright coloured boxes.

Boss compact effects pedals are extremely tough, made out of metal with recessed control knobs for stage-friendly use. Each pedal is colour coded for easy identification. The orange DS-1 distortion pedal is one of the most familiar sights to guitarists across the entire world. The tones, of course, are the real reason people keep coming back to Boss. Their pedals have been used so often that many of the sounds are now iconic in themselves.

Several of these pedals are rightly heralded as classics, particularly certain drive pedals. Plenty of pro players swear by Boss compact pedals and Boss' own innovations in sound have paved the way for many smaller companies to follow. Certain Boss pedals are simple, such as the SD-1 Super Overdrive. Others are extremely complex and full of features, for example the PS-6 Harmonist. Innovation and ease of use are the key words with Boss pedals.

At guitarguitar, we are crazy about Boss pedals. We have all grown up with them and love the sound, look, build and feel of them. We know them inside out and are happy to share the knowledge.
