Billy hits the nail on the head here: Boss pedals are reliable, affordable and easy to repair/get parts for. It's all well and good having a pedal built by some 'boutique' company in a shed in Mordor, but the moment something goes wrong, they are always a pain to fix, and often cost a lot more in the first place.

Not as such, I think he just showed him a few chords very early on as they've been mates since they were at school. They both went on to develop their own unique styles and became guitar heroes.

Boss pedals are not very thin if you turn them up to 11. Boss Ce2 reliable and available.

all Boss OD/Distortion pedals sound thin.
@theedrstrangelove9 жыл бұрын
The one he is speaking about was probably the OD-1 and not the SD-1 because that model replaced the original one. Find a good used OD-1 and play with it it is far superior to the SD-1.

Nice interview. Saw the Cult with Billy playing the White Falcon in 1984 when I was a student. Great gig. What he didn't mention is that you can't actually kill Boss pedals ... you can do everything that Top Gear did to the Toyota Hilux and they won't die ... hence good for live work.

What do you do when you change your sounds on the boss pedal (quickly) as opposed to DigiTech where you can have presets?

once you get your skill up to this level you find out how to use the tools of the trade, bedroom guitar players mainly spend most of their time tone hunting and looking for shortcuts to sound like their idols. what its really about is learning to use what you have and make it sound great, then you can make anything sound good because you've taken the hunt for tone out of your gear and put it into yourself. i played a boss turbo distortion for many ,many years and still use a boss super overdrive. gotta love the ibanez 9 series of pedals too,i swear by them as well.
@utooberblooper8 жыл бұрын
you bought into the helix b/s.hope your not busy for about 3 yrs.these all in one units are trash. still have my original boss delays,overdrives from the 80's.ibanez are even better units,especially the entire 9 series.treat your gear right and it will last forever,i agree with the electro harmonix,theyre shit.
