STORY

The World Leader in Compact Effects

10,000,000 pedals sold and going strong ... BOSS is the number one choice for musicians who want the best of the best. Carefully selected parts, uncompromised circuit design, road-tough construction-everything on a BOSS pedal is made with the professional in mind. Musicians who demand the best choose BOSS.

Advantage

The BOSS Compact Series avoid degradation and leave the essential characteristics of your guitar’s tone.

All BOSS Compact-series pedals are equipped with FET electronic switches and buffer amps, which offer the following advantages: a) They do not cause sound cut-offs that mechanical switches do when switching effects, and b) are less susceptible to sound degradation that can result from long cable feeds.

■

No sound cut-offs or switching noises.

Simple mechanical switches cause sound cut-offs when switching between contacts, and they are susceptible to switching noises. FET switches eliminate such undesired noises.

■

Low-impedance signals are used to

allow high-fidelity transmission.

Guitar outputs use high-impedance* signals. Signals sent through long cables at high impedance are not only susceptible to cables’ capacitance, but can affect the tone itself, for example as a loss in the high end. The buffer amp in BOSS Compact-series pedals converts signal to low impedance right at the input. This helps maintain the quality of signal even when using long cable feeds. The aim of this design is to give musicians excellent tone in real-world situations.

*Guitars with typical passive electronics.

Philosophy

From the beginning, BOSS has built the best pedals by adhering to these key principles: ➀ Reliable aluminum die cast bodies. ➁ Pedal switches that withstand the 1,000,000-repetition durability test. ➂ FET switches to eliminate the clicking noise of conventional mechanical switches. ➃ Non-slip rubber bases.

➄ Easy-to-install battery compartments. ➅ LED indicators. ➆ Battery and AC power.

History

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.

Note: The OD-1 is no longer in production.

Breakthrough

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.

DD-7 RV-5 PS-5

Originality

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 RC-2 Loop Station.

Note: The SG-1 and VB-2 are no longer in production.

Advanced Processors for High-Impact Performance

Trusted by the world’s greatest musicians onstage and in the studio, BOSS’s flagship multi-effects processors deliver great sound quality with advanced COSM modeling technology and programming flexibility.

●Effects Excellence. Meet the Next Generation GT!

●Powerful Multi-Effects ME with Stompbox Simplicity

The color, character, and expression of BOSS multi-effects combined with one-of-a-kind COSM . . . welcome to the pinnacle of modeling technology

We have meticulously modeled every nuance and characteristic of guitar-amp circuitry, which enables each modeled amp to react and respond naturally and authentically. With COSM, enjoy a wide variety of classic amps or sink your teeth into COSM’s unique power by creating custom sounds that soar beyond the limits of the vintage world!

To create meticulous models of all circuit behavior, our research begins with individual components.

The obsessive attention to detail that goes into the development of COSM starts with the selection of amps on which the models are based. In many cases, historical gear is chosen, and we scrutinize every detail. Our extensive testing covers the sound, character, and variations in tone when the amp is played under a variety of conditions, ensuring that the amp is in perfect condition. The amps that we select amps are exceptional, world-class examples.

We then take the chosen amp and perform detailed verifications of the characteristics and behavior of each of its parts, including every tube and capacitor. We dissect all circuitry between the amp’s input and output into their smallest units, and perform thorough analysis of their characteristics.

Finally, through meticulous reconstruction, we create an

■COSM met iculously models a ll aspects of th e circuitry — e very component, ev ery path

authentic model of each of these individual sections using COSM technology. This is how we build modeling amps that deliver the same behavior and characters of the originals.

COSM reproduces the detailed characteristics of speakers and cabinets, and even the changes in sound that are introduced by different mic setups.

Electrical circuitry is not the only factor in determining an amp’s sound. The number of speakers, the character of the speakers, as well as cabinet resonance all affect the outcome. Additionally, the choice and placement of microphones colors the sound in live performances and recording sessions.

In creating our models, we perform extensive testing in anechoic chambers where large amounts of detailed data is gathered. In the same way that it reproduces the electronic characteristics of circuitry, COSM modeling delivers realistic variations in physical characteristics as well.

■Measuring sound in an an echoic chamber

Living sound. COSM reproduces the ever-changing nuances and natural variations in sound as the amp settings are changed, just like the original amp.

Based on such an extensive process, how faithfully does COSM’s modeled amp sound reproduce these original sounds and behavior? Let’s take a look at illustrations of its actual characteristics.

Tone controls are used to customize the sound of an amp. State see that the frequency response curves reproduced on the original amp on the top and the COSM amp on the

COSM also offers custom sound-creation options that soar beyond the vintage world.

Since the COSM modeling accurately emulates the circuitry of original amps and their behavioral characteristics, it provides great advantages.

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, and the air and reverberation of the room all affect the ﬁnal sound. Sound modeling with DSP technology “virtually” reconstructs these objects. Roland’s breakthrough Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM) uses the advantages of multiple modeling methods to accurately emulate existing sounds, as well as to produce sounds that have never before been created. Roland was the ﬁrst music manufacturer to introduce “modeling” technology to the guitar world in 1994/95 with the launch of the VG-8 V-Guitar system.

The GT-10 flagship model of BOSS multi-effects comes with customization features for virtually re-engineering the original amps. Distortion can be controlled in split-frequency zones, for example, and tone control is available for specific frequency ranges. In addition, the GT-10 supports detailed emulation of speaker types and configurations, and even microphone types or setting positions. This is the COSM’s advantage!

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.

Using V-LINK, musicians can “play” video from their electronic instrument — or even control a live video camera — when used with Edirol video products. With V-LINK, musicians have a powerful interface for realtime audio and video integration.
