TOP 10 Essential Boss Stomp Boxes

[@TroyNaumu808]

Boss pedals is still the Boss. They are the King of pedals.

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

I need them all! Seriously, going for a complete Boss compact pedal collection.

[@adhaskym.a9536]

The best explaination for a product usage. Beginners are easily well informed here and also the affordability of BOSS is practical as well.

[@TroyNaumu808]

Boss are not that affordable anymore. I got my Boss pedals from the 80's and 90's when they were affordable.

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

@@TroyNaumu808 Dude, nothing is affordable anymore.

[@6Luke9]

Affordable! Ha! Never heard of it! Especially these days

[@devinsinderwitcz9134]

@@TroyNaumu808 Compared to many boutique pedals they are.

What pedal should i buy for a Judas Priest sound?

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

Boss Pedals are the Toyota of guitar pedals! Love it!

[@charliepayne9248]

I remember when GAK conducted an experiment... Taking the battery out of a boss pedal & running over it with a forklift, put the battery back in & the flipping thing worked.... Absolutely amazing...! I love me Power Stack pedal. I also love me EOB....

[@baronvonchickenpants6564]

I had a DS1 my first distortion pedal when I started to gig I played in a duo with a local guitar hero, he was brilliant and he had an mxr distortion + we both had carlsbro stingray transistor amps and Washburn flight series guitars His pedal destroyed my boss cutting through like a volume laser, while my volume chickened out and hid behind the drummer Drove me nuts

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

I usually pair the ds1 to an overdrive or boost/compression.

[@pierreyveshuet1763]

BOSS Noise Suppressor NS2 is also a very useful pedal, especially when playing with single coil pickups.

[@alexmayhew8989]

Noise suppression and noise gates are absolutely not necessary. Fix your problems at the source. Noise gates and suppressors are band aids

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

@@alexmayhew8989 Ok, so how would you suggest fixng the problem? Shielding/grounding, etc?

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

​@@alexmayhew8989I actually love the instant silence a noise gate brings. I use it with a tera echo to allow moments of silence during ambient guitar playing.

[@ZeginMakesMusic]

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

@@ZeginMakesMusic It's actually not that hard to modify a "cheap" guitar into something better. New electronics, shielding tape/paint, etc.

[@MasonDaw]

Man I can't even pay attention to the pedals when I'm staring at that EOB sustainer. DREAM GUITAR!

[@Gibson1976uk]

Since the lockdown, I have got the Boss OC-5, Boss RC-5, Boss BD-2w, Boss DD-8 and the official power supply :)

[@Mujcanal]

You are the boss now ! I like them too 😎👍

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

Not a bad selection of pedals! I think I'm up to like 36 Boss pedals, and I recently started collecting Boss clones, just got a PSK DS-1 clone and a PSK Phaser (it's shaped like a Boss pedal, a tad bigger, but I don't know if the actual circuit is copying a PH-1r or possibly a PH-2, minus the Mode knob... it sounds killer, though). They're like Pokémon, gotta collect 'em all! 🤣

[@cheenu711]

Remember whenever you're in doubt, "boss is best"

[@briangardner5905]

I am a acoustic guitarist songwriter with a band called Manzanita, a four-piece group. Bass 2 acoustic guitars and me on either acoustic guitar or percussion. BUT...I absolutely love the way, first, that the BOSS pedals LOOK! I can't believe I would use any others, because as a graphic artists too, appearance IS very important to me. There are several pedals in your "Top Ten" that I could see purchasing and using, even though I have an "acoustic Berringer amp that has some sounds in it as well. Don't work for BOSS, but they are my favorite pedals to be sure. The styling and colors are awesome and the sounds they make are true to their stated function.

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

Yeah, my OCD only allows me to use Boss pedals (aside from wahs/Whammy), and they sound great!

[@teacher5376]

Boss pedals , do had released many yesterday 's best seller ' delay pedals , overdriver,.....sounds that have improved. And better than ever....

[@benoezk]

Thank you. Very informative good explanation. The only think you missed are the amp settings you had on the katana.

[@devinsinderwitcz9134]

I stand by Boss pedals simply because they're both affordable AND if you're out gigging on the road I can get a replacement at any music store. Not so with boutique pedals that can range anywhere from $200-$400 and higher. There are plenty enough ranging pedals you can still create your own signature sound also.

[@theloniouscoltrane3778]

Boss = Toyota = Reliable

[@Alfgunnarp]

That EOB Strat tho!

[@ludwiglanestudios]

I would have definitely took out the compressor since guitars with distortion already is compressed. I would have added the phase shifter

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

Which phase shifter, though? I have a PH-1, PH-1r, PH-2, PH-3, and a PSK PAS-2 Phaser (they copied the Boss pedal format, just a tiny bit larger, don't know if the circuit is a Boss clone or original, but it sounds thick and lush 👍).

[@John-ue8md]

The DD-8 is a giant step backwards for Boss. The DD-5, DD-6 and DD-7 are all much better than the DD-8 because they all do stereo ping-pong where the DD-8 is preset as a mono delay. Sure, SOME DD-8 pedals can do ping-pong stereo delay... but they have to be reprogrammed, and not all of them are reprogrammable. I'm very disappointed with my DD-8, and I would trade it for a DD-7 in an instant.

[@emilianoibarra3537]

what are the best digial compressor, delay and reverb and distortion to use with a dj mixer?

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

I don't know why you specified a digital compressor, but you may want to check out a DBX stereo compressor for a DJ mixer, they may even have one with RCA ins and outs. A Boss DD-20 Giga Delay would be dope with a DJ setup, plenty of sounds, stereo I/O, etc. Can't go wrong with an RV-6 Digital Reverb, and there are so many distortion options I don't know where to start.

There are two effects that really don't appeal to my ear. The Octave and the Tremolo. I don't know but i don't really use them and i find them boring. I don't play any songs that use them. 😂

Tuner shouldn't count as a pedal

[@d-freh1009]

Agreed. Just use a Snark tuner and turn your guitar volume down, if there's an audience..

[@greenmonster9913]

Not only should it count as a pedal, it's the most essential pedal on the list. If everyone in the band isn't using the same tuner, there's a good chance the band members will sound out of tune with each other. The Boss is the most widely used tuner, and therefore everybody should have one on their board. If you own no other Boss pedals, you should still have a TU-3. Snarks are a joke in a band situation

[@Wxterslide]

Sorry but the ds-1 sounds like poop

[@callmeej8399]

That’s cause the DS-1 is only good if you keep the tone knob below 10-11 clock

[@Apprentice_of_the_Leonine]

@@callmeej8399 Or if you stack an SD-1, TS-9, or some other mid-forward, bass-cutting drive in front of it to bring back your presence in a mix, which the DS-1 kills by scooping mids.
