What BOSS pedals do you use?

[OsCKilO]

I dont know why I got it...... I wanted a loop pedal..!

I never use it....

The Brit pop sound is better than the metal one...!


A Nice "Kit bag" filler though.......

I was given a Blues Driver sometime ago but have just recently found uses(better amps) for it...it gives me a nice clean boost, just enough to get a mild breakup and then add some sparkle.
Then I got the Loopstation RC-20 thinking its trainer features would help with my rhythm and timing, and it did, but not as good as the MBR. Now that Ive got the MBR, Im suddenly familiar with the loopstation and know how to use it...but the MBR is so much easier!
I traded a set of Keystone pickups for a DD-6 stereo delay, worked great, but a lil too "digital" for my tube amps...so I purchased the DD-20 Giga-Delay and have been totally pleased with this purchase! Flippin awesome delay! Ive still got the DD-6 and use this to put my 2 Microcubes in stereo delay.

BTW, 2 Champs in stereo delay is a thing of beauty!

Zip. Nadda. I use pedals, I just don't have any Boss pedals. I used to own a Keeley DS-1 Ultra though.

Nope, sorry, Im keeping it...it does have some uses and I can see trying out some songs on the loopstation before actually hitting the record button on the MBR...although Im not using it much at the moment, it does seem like a great tool to have around.

You might try the used market, I scored my Giga-Delay on Craigslist for $120 and it sells for as much as the Loopstation at retail.

Gearheads are friggin' weird.

I'm selling a Boss CS-1 Compression Sustainer on eBay, and the pedal geeks are asking me for the serial number and the color of the switch.  It took me 15 minutes to find the serial number.  I was about to take the thing apart.

There's even a Boss Serial Number Decoder so you can find out the exact month a Boss unit was produced.

Really. Do these folks hear things I thought only dogs can hear?  Could I have the Stradivarius of stomp boxes and not realize it?  Hopefully the answers to these questions are in my favor.

What kind of screws does it have? There's marginally less metal in a cross-head screw... it all affects the tone, lol

I agree, lots of hype on the vintage stuff.  Its silly that old Japanese Boss pedals are driving much of the "vintage pedal market".

That said, last night I met the singer/guitarist from a band called Symphonic Slam.  I traded a OD-3 I had aquired for 25 bucks, and a few other old cheapie pedals, for three of his old pedals.

I got a OD-1, CS-2, and a CE-3 all MIJ "Black Labels" (its funny almost sounds like they are describing a fine wine), and no money exchanged hands.  First impressions are that they sound good, but not THAT good.  Id probably make a few bucks if I ever sell them-but I may keep the OD-1 since it was the first OD pedal.

Hey Ted you dont have an old Ibanez BC-9 Bi-mode Chorus in there by any chance?
