Boss ES-8 Effects Pedal Looper & Switching System Overview

[@Cluless02]

I never tire of seeing Tom Quayle, hearing those blinding riffs!!!

[@guttyrankz]

Would love an explanation on how you connected your Fusion pedal to utilize both drives separately

[@jennifergaims5576]

Hi Tom, I am a new owner. Thanks so much for the demo. What kind of unit do you recommend to power your effects pedals? Thanks.

[@craigfouche]

I am using a Caline CP 206, there is a review on KZbin and I run the ES-8, 3x Boss 500 series pedals and smaller Boss pedals and no issues. It is noiseless / isolated too.

GREAT REVIEW/DEMO!!! The only section I heard starting at approximately 2:45 I believe may not be accurate. "... 2 inputs, 2 outputs, and the outputs are both stereo outputs." You do have a LEFT and RIGHT TS outputs for stereo but, they are not TRS outputs so each output is mono. Maybe I am misunderstanding what is being said here still, wanted to point this out just in case.

can the ES-8 send expression pedal data out to a midi device in the form of midi CCs ?

[@davidm7237]

Love that guitar, what is it?

[@billsstudio2528]

Great demo man. Something weird though....maybe your board is a beta version? As the patch light for button 7 does not illuminate when accessing an additional patch from a MEM preset. I looked at other demos and the patch lights up. To me, that would almost be a deal breaker if I did not have an "on" light for any additional patch I would bring up.

[@johanaavit]

As I understand, you can program that pr patch or knob yourself. Light On or Off...

Does the Es 8 work well with the 4 cable method? I.e. To put delays reverbs or any time based effects through the return and send effects loop of let's say a Marshall DSL 2000. What would be your suggestion? Also what amp are you using in this video..? Thank you for your help.

[@mattgilbert7347]

The ES-5 which is basically the same except smaller (and no stereo) has fewer switches, how does that affect assigning switches to different functions?

[@earlmergelsberg6127]

very cool. does the es8 receive midi clock from a DAW (abelton)?

[@waeldaouofficial]

Hey guys! amazing reviews congrats! I really need your help in a thing, i've been trying to put some effect in my send and return of the amp... i just can't get it right ! how can i assign some pedal to be as if they are in the loop of the amp in the chain programmed in the es8? cheers brother

[@robcollopy]

great demo Tom . Whats the specs of the Knaggs , cause it sounds and looks amazing. Thinking of ordering one and that looks like what I'm after Thanks rob

[@SoundAffects]

+robert collopy - Hi Rob, this is Tim here the owner of Sound Affects. The Knaggs is my own personal guitar. Its a Tier 2 Severn, double purling. I specced it with flamed maple neck and board. It has a SD 59 tele at the neck and a stacked SD Strat humbucker at the bridge. Its an amazing guitar.. If you want to talk about ordering one I am happy to go through it with you. Cheers Tim

[@WeslieJJ94]

What if I have 2 midi pedals? Lets say a H9 and a Strymon Timeline. Can I connect them both to the es8 for midi switching, or only 1 pedal?

[@paulhawksworth1586]

There 16 midi channels, so it is virtually limitless from a midi point of view.

Tom this question may have been questioned already if so sorry for the repeat. I looking at the Boss ES-8 Effect Switching System and from what I've read and demo's I've watched, it's seems to be pretty amazing?? One of the abilities I like the most about the system is the ability to move effects in different places if needed. However, this would be my first switching system I would be purchasing and I would think there are other companies the make system that have the same ability. Do you have any recommendations on purchasing a switching system? Thanks, David
