THE BOSS COMPACT EFFECTS STORY
From the beginning, BOSS has built the best pedals by adhering to these key principles: Reliable aluminum die cast bodies. Pedal switches that withstand the 100,000-repetition durability test. FET switches to eliminate the clicking noise of conventional mechanical switches. Non-slip rubber bases. Easy-to-install battery compartments. LED indicators. Battery and AC power.
Philosophy
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 analog­modeling bass synthesizer pedal.
Originality
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 that are custom­tailored for low frequencies.
Bassists Welcome
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.
Legend
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.
Pro Quality
Where will you take your tone? From subtle sweetening to complete audio transformation, BOSS provides more tone­shaping options than any other compact­effects manufacturer in industry.
Imagination
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.
Breakthrough
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.
Colorful Lineup
It’s no accident that BOSS has become the world’s leading effects manufacturer. With over eight million pedals sold, BOSS has built its reputation by connecting with the community. We listen and react to what players demand, while also pushing the envelope into new, unexplored realms.

Benchmark Overdrive & Distortion
BOSS’s original overdrive, the OD-1, was famous for its rich, warm, and detailed sound. That legacy carried forward to the popular SD-1 and OD-3, and now to the BD-series — the new standard in Overdrive processing. Likewise, BOSS’s acclaimed DS-1 distortion pedal evolved to the DS-2, which paved the way for today’s benchmark distortion effect, the MD-2.
New-Breed Overdrive
Adding to the legacy of great BOSS overdrives (such as the OD and DS series), the BD-2 and MD-2 represent the new standard in overdrive/distortion effects. Try them soon!
BD-2: The BD-2 responds expressively to performance dynamics, including factors such as the guitarist’s picking attack, touch, and volume/tone settings. MD-2: The MD-2 can be extremely distorted with fat and deep characteristics, while not obliterating the original guitar tone.
Warm, Tube Drive Sounds
Uses BOSS’s asymmetric overdrive circuitry for warm, smooth overdrive sounds that respond to your picking style just like a tube amp. Includes a Tone control to dial in just the right sound.
Used by Pros Everywhere
A classic! Add some hard-edged distortion while preserving the subtle nuances of your playing dynamics. A Tone control is provided for easy sound shaping.
Nu-School Distortion with Massive Low End
This pedal’s dual Distortion and Gain Boost circuits take thick, heavy distortion sounds to a whole new level. Special Gain Boost and Bottom controls let you shape your tone for maximum volume and low-end punch.
Crunchy Overdrive Effects for Bass

A flexible pedal capable of producing overdrive, distortion, or a combination of both. Get “in your face” distortion while maintaining the subtle nuances of single-coil guitar pickups.
Two Distortions for the Price of One
Features twin modes for an expanded range of distortion — taking you from blues-rock rhythms to searing leads at the press of a pedal or twist of a knob.
BOSS’s Most Popular Pedal!
Features dual-gain circuitry for thick, tube stack distortion with heavy mids and lows and long-lasting sustain. A 3-band EQ with semi­parametric mids takes your sound to the extreme.
The Perfect Distortion for Blues
Get the tone of a bluesy, vintage tube amp in a compact pedal capable of anything from warm overdriven sounds to full-on distortion. Leaves the subtle nuances of your playing intact.

The World’s First Modeling Wah Pedal!
Wah Pedal
The amazing BOSS PW-10 V-Wah®is likely to be the last wah pedal you’ll ever need or want.

But the PW-10 doesn’t just do wah; it also creates analog synth-like sounds via its “Double Resonance” mode and cool “talking” sounds in “Voice” mode. Eight types of overdrive sounds are also included, which can be dialed in with the Drive knob. Special infrared sensors give this wah smooth and noise-free sound, while three digital memories make it easy to recall your favorite settings. To try it is to love it!

MULTI-EFFECTS PROCESSING POWER
GT
COSM®Powered
High-powered COSM amp engines are built into the GT-series processors, providing realistic, high-quality modeling of vintage amps as well as innovative new amp sounds. Each amp has been faithfully modeled, but the GT-series also allows you to create original, never-before-heard tones as well.
Pro Effects
The GT-series provides a virtual mountain of expressive, pro-grade effects. Effect blocks can be used simultaneously to create complex textures and routings. Place the effects in any order, quickly and easily. Drive it all from the built-in Control switches and pedal. From subtle to sizzling, where will you take your tone?
Ultra-Flexible Editing
Freely customize your sounds and setups with ease. The GT-series provides the freedom to create a universe of layered sound, with its flexible setup configurations and wide-ranging parameters.
Fast & Friendly
No menus to navigate. Just plug in, and get down to business. This floor-based multi-effects processor is built with the simplicity of a stompbox, focusing on killer multi-effects (such as COSM overdrive and distortion), rather than amp modeling.
Hands-On Control
Dialing in your tone is easy, thanks to ME’s dedicated knobs for each effect section, three footswitches, and a built-in expression pedal. Great-sounding effects without all the menu surfing!
Road Tough
Like all other BOSS effects, the ME-series processors are easy to transport yet built to withstand the punishment of constant gigging. BOSS effects are tortured tested, and road ready.
Studio Smarts
This advanced multi-purpose processor provides a virtual truckload of COSM modeled amps and multi-effects for guitar, bass, and even vocals. Inputs are provided for Guitar/Bass, microphone (XLR), and stereo Auxiliary, making it especially well suited for the studio.
Computer Friendly
The GS-10 provides a USB port for easy connection to PCs and Macs. It comes with Cakewalk Music Creator recording software for PC, plus a dedicated GS-10 computer editor.
Speakers Built-In
Take the GS-10 anywhere. Plug in and play — no external monitoring required, thanks to the super-handy built-in stereo speaker system.
Advanced Processors for Floor & Desktop
Trusted by the world’s greatest players, BOSS’s flagship multi-effects processors deliver unsurpassed sound quality and programming flexibility for both stage and studio.

Pro Features
The GT-6B is a pro-caliber floor-based processor for bass, with COSM Bass Amp Modeling, modeled compression, plus other “must-have” effects such as COSM overdrive/distortion, COSM wah, and reverb/delay. There’s also a true analog bypass, and XLR and digital outputs with 24-bit converters for recording applications, providing uncompromised sound quality.
COSM Bass Amp Models
The GT-6B provides six authentic COSM bass amp models, recreating the tone and characteristics of some of the greatest bass amps and speaker cabinets in history. Why settle for just one bass amp sound when you can have the power of six classics in one convenient box?
Professional Bass Multi-Effects
Dual COSM Amps
Feel the power of the GT-8’s dual COSM amp modeling engines. Explore new sonic dimensions by combining two amp models, or by switching between them during performance. Tap into the expressive Dynamic mode, where two channels can be controlled based on picking strength. Transition smoothly from clean to mean by simply picking harder or softer.
Solo Switch
Each of the GT-8’s 46 COSM amp models contains a specially programmed variation that’s optimized for soloing. Simply click the Solo switch to activate the lead tone, and off you go — it’s like having a separate solo channel on every COSM amp!

Ultra-Flexible Effects Chain
Having the freedom to configure the effects chain in any order you wish is one of the keys to success when using multi-effects. A sound can be wildly different if an equalizer is used before a distortion, or after, for example. The GT-series proudly provides complete freedom over the preamp and effects chain routing.

Bass Effects with COSM modeling
In addition to its amazing amp models, the GT-6B provides a world-class lineup of effects, including COSM-powered compression effects modeled after four famous compressors. Other effects include Auto Slap, sound-on-sound looping, and BOSS's best synth-bass sounds with incredible tracking.
Versatile Performance Controls
Pilot the GT-6B with ease and enjoyment, thanks to its friendly, ultra-intuitive interface with analog-style knobs. Inject extra color and tonal animation into your performances with the GT-6B’s built-in expression and control pedals.
effect blocks can be used simultaneously to create complex textures and routings. All of your FX bases are covered — compressors, reverbs, choruses, EQs, COSM-modeled wahs, and much more. There are 200 preset patches included, plus 140 user patches for storing your custom amp/effects creations.
Connectivity
The GT-8 is stocked with enough I/O options to satisfy even the most demanding pro. In addition to its stereo analog outs, the GT-8 offers a 24-bit coaxial output for ultra-clean digital transfer, an Amp Control jack for switching between two amp channels on an external amp, an external expression/control pedal input, effects send and returns, MIDI in and out, and a headphone output.
Flexible FX Routing
Another area where the GT-8 stomps the competition is in its powerful effects routing. Internally, the 13 FX blocks can be configured in any order you desire (for example, you can freely assign an equalizer after a distortion effect or before it). And if
you’d care to take your tone “outside the box” and incorporate some external effects into the GT-8’s signal path, you can do so with the Ext Loop send and return. Flexibility in routing is the name of the game.

The BOSS BCB-60 Pedal Board is a convenient way to set up and transport all your compact effects. The unique padded interior can be customized to fit a range of gear, while a built-in AC adaptor cranks out 1,000 mA of power — enough to run up to seven devices!
High-Quality DI
The DI-1 is a high-quality direct box with crystal-clear sound for transforming high-impedance, unbalanced instrument outputs to the low-impedance, balanced inputs of a mixing console.
Unlatched
The FS-5U is a metal-cased momentary “unlatch”-type footswitch that can be connected using an ordinary guitar cable.
Latched
The FS-5L is a metal-cased latch-type footswitch with a LED to indicate status. It can be connected with a standard guitar cable.
Gender-Bending Vocal Effects!
The VT-1 is a unique device designed for altering and effecting the human voice. It provides everything from voice “thickening” to a full ±1 octave pitch shift, allowing users to convincingly change their vocal gender.

Once a musical instrument generates sound vibrations, it reaches the human ear through various mediating objects, each of which significantly affects the sound. The material and configuration of the instrument, the electric/electronic/magnetic amplifying system, the air and the reverberation of the room all affect the final sound. Sound modeling, the latest DSP technology, “virtually ” reconstructs these objects. Roland’s breakthrough Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM)uses the advantages of multiple modeling methods and succeeds in accurately emulating existing sounds, as well as producing sounds that have never before been created.
