I did pick one up and I wasn’t expecting much. But, it actually sounds pretty good to me. I’ve been using it for two things. (1) for rehearsals - I feel much happier taking this along rather than one of my original pedals. Our rehearsal studio is not in the safest of locations and also, the vintage ...

Oh, that looks like a terrific pedal! I just had a look at their website. Congratulations!

Thanks Pepe. It makes everything sound better.

Been after this one for a long while at a sensible price. A little bit of gig wear but it works perfectly. Really shines with a Gibbo 335 through my JC-40 in stereo. Thank you Father Christmas !

Also, I think the distortion itself is richer than a DS-1. Just sounds a little bit better.

And to you and your family too Laurie

I’ve been using one of these recently. Really useful. Great find Laurie.

Can’t be any good really through - it hasn’t even got a thumbscrew, silver or otherwise

Priced at £229 here in the UK and already in stock at one of the retailers - that’s a first for a new Boss pedal !

Just noted this in the specs:-

“Additional effects available over time with Model Pass purchases in the BOSS Effect Loader app”.

I wonder if this pass will also give you access to the models for use in a DAW.

Not sure how I feel about this one. No doubt a subscription to the Roland Cloud will be required for any software model beyond those included here as standard.
