From the beginning, BOSS has built the bestpedals by adhering to these key principles: (1) Reliable aluminum die cast bodies. (2) Pedal switches
that withstand the 100,000- repetition durability test. (3) FET switches
to eliminate the clicking noise of conventional mechanical switches.
(4) Non-slip rubber bases. (5) Easy-to-install battery compartments.
(6) LED indicators. (7) Battery and AC power.

The history of BOSS reads like the history of guitar effects.

The famous compact pedal line-up began in 1977 with the classic OD-1 Overdrive, which established the masterful design principle for all other BOSS effects
pedals that followed.

BOSS has laid claim to many “world firsts” during its illustrious history. Among the many BOSS highlights have been bringing to market the first-ever chorus, overdrive, digital delay, reverb, and pitch-shifter pedals.

Beyond standard effects, BOSS is famous for its unique and unusual stompboxes, such as the SG-1 Slow Gear, VB-2 Vibrato, and, most recently, the SYB-5 analog-modeling bass synthesizer pedal.

Only the very best components
and circuitry are used in BOSS pedals.

No corners are cut, no compromises
are made — these pedals are built to sound
great and take a pounding.

BOSS offers an incredibly wide variety of effects that can take your sound
to places it has never been before. Whether you need subtle polish or full,
sonic immersion, BOSS effects will do the job reliably and professionally.

Not just for guitarists, BOSS has a range of effects built specifically for bass players. So plug in, and anchor your music with solid, high-impact effects
