      Boss is a manufacturer of effects pedals for electric guitar and bass guitar. It is a division of the Roland Corporation, a Japanese manufacturer that specializes in musical equipment and accessories. For many years Boss manufactured a range of products related to effects processing for guitars, including \"compact\" and \"twin\" effects pedals, multi-effect pedals, electronic tuners, and pedal boards. In more recent times they have expanded their line to include Digital Studios, Rhythm machines and other electronic equipment.




      When Roland decided to form a subsidiary company dedicated to guitars in the early 1970s, they originally intended to call it MEG (Musical Engineering Group). Realizing, however, that Meg was a girl\\\'s name and might dissuade male guitarists, they searched for a name that would connote power and mastership, and eventually came up with Boss.

      Boss DD20 GigaDelay Pedal

      The World\\\'s Most Powerful Delay Pedal. The BOSS DD-20 Giga Delay offers more User memory and the longest delay of any effect pedal-up to 23 seconds! Delay time can be quickly set using the push-button knob or via tap tempo. And with a choice of 11 modes-including new "Smooth" and "Twist" delays and sound-on-sound recording-this Twin Pedal raises the bar for delay effects. BOSS\\\' most powerful delay pedal with up to 23 seconds of delay 11 delay modes including classic tape delay and sound-on-sound recording New "Smooth" and "Twist" modes for subtle or radical delay effects Memory function for changing delay modes seamlessly New push-button knob for setting delay time in fine or coarse adjustments

      23 Seconds of Pro-Quality Delay With up to 23 seconds of delay, the DD-20 easily outshines the competition and can even double as a sound-on-sound pedal. Delay time can be adjusted via tap tempo or using a knob, which also features a push function to set the delay range more quickly. Eleven delay modes are provided covering everything from analog and tape delay to reverse delay and more. A new Memory function makes it possible to change delay modes seamlessly.

      New "Smooth" and "Twist" Modes The DD-20 also introduces two all-new delay effects that are sure to blow some minds. Twist creates wild delay effects similar to \"over the top\" manipulation of an analog tape echo, while Smooth creates ultra-smooth delay effects. This is a pedal no guitarist should be without!

      Boss ME50 Multi-Effects Processor

      Details; The ME-50 Guitar Multiple Effects is a floor-based multi-effects processor built with the ruggedness and simplicity of a stompbox. Designed to work with your amplifier, the ME-50 focuses on killer multi-effects (like COSM overdrive and distortion) rather than amp modelling. And dialling in your tone is easy, thanks to dedicated knobs for each effect section, three footswitches and a built-in expression pedal. So if you want great-sounding effects without the menu surfing, the ME-50 is everything you need.

      Features
      • Floor-based multi-effects processor with BOSS\\\' most intuitive interface ever
      • 30 Preset Patches including delay, modulation, reverb, compressor and more

      Boss CE-20 Chorus Ensemble Pedal


      Details; The CE-20 Chorus Ensemble is the culmination of over 25 years of BOSS chorus experience. This programmable chorus pedal not only models classics like the CE-1 and SDD-320, but creates entirely new effects including chorus for bass and acoustic guitar. New "Brilliance" and "Ambience" knobs offer unprecedented realtime control over the chorus tone-making the CE-20 a pedal no guitarist should be without. BOSS\\\' finest chorus effects ever offered in a compact pedal

      6 chorus modes: Rich, Bass, Acoustic, Standard, CE-1 and Dimensional D Brilliance parameter adjusts "sparkling" feel of chorus Ambience control adds reverberation to chorus for greater spaciousness 4 User memories with pedal recall Stereo In/Out and Headphone output

      Classic and Modern Chorus Sounds As the creator of the chorus pedal, no one knows chorus better than BOSS. That\\\'s why the CE-20 includes six chorus modes covering classic sounds from the CE-1 and SDD-320 to modern chorus effects. Three new types of chorus are also provided, for getting everything from extremely rich sounds to chorus tuned specifically for bass and acoustic guitar.

      New "Brilliance" and "Ambience" Controls Using the Brilliance knob, you can control the "sparkling" feel of the CE-20\\\'s chorus sounds for effects that really cut through the mix. The secret is the CE-20\\\'s unique ability to enhance a guitar\\\'s harmonics. Another new control is the Ambience knob, which adds reverberation to the chorus for even greater spaciousness and depth. There\\\'s never been a sound like it!

      Boss RC20XL Loop Station

      Details; Realtime Phrase Recording and Sampling Whether for use onstage or at home, the new RC-20XL will add depth and excitement to your performances by allowing you to layer phrases in real time - as many stacks as you like until you fill up the 16 minutes of ample recording space on the RC-20XL. Explore the expressive options of sound-on-sound performance by layering your own phrases to create a massive "one-person band" experience. Build the ultimate solo, and do it all live in real time.


      Super long recording time: up to 16 minutes!
      Save up to 11 loops at a time
      Undo function makes it easy to create perfect loops
      Built-in auto quantize for simple and accurate loop timing
      Change loop tempo without changing pitch
      Footswitchable loop select (with optional FS-5U/FS-6)

      More, Better The RC-20XL picks up where the popular RC-20 leaves off, as it offers more recording time and more features, but at the same affordable price as its predecessor. The RC-20XL inherits the same "hands-free" pedal operation from the RC-20: Record, Play, and Overdub can be done with the left pedal - all the while your hands are free to play your instruments. But now you get approximately 16 minutes of recording time to capture and store loops or one-shot phrases (three times that of the RC-20), and you can work your way backward thanks to the new Undo function, a necessity when making mistakes during overdub.

      Performance Tools The RC-20XL has 11 memory tracks, in which you have the choice of storing either one-shot phrases or loop phrases. During your performance, you can switch between the tracks with an optional FS-6 Dual Footswitch, or two FS-5U footswitches (momentary-type). The Undo function can be a useful and musical function for erasing your previous phrase and instantly layering a new one. After you have dazzled your crowd, now its time to bring it to an end. The RC-20XL offers three stop options for this purpose. When you hit the pedal, you can either immediately stop the playback, let the phrase play until the end, or fade it out.

      Boss RT20 Rotary Ensemble Pedal

      Details; From the Beatles to Jeff Beck, Santana to Stevie Ray, many guitar greats have incorporated the rotary speaker into their rigs. With this in mind BOSS proudly presents the RT-20 Rotary Sound Processor.
      Employing COSM®-modeling technology, the RT-20 authentically reproduces classic rotary-speaker sounds. It offers adjustable Rise Time, Horn and Bass speed, Overdrive, and more. And not just for classic twirl, the RT-20 can be used to create unique overdrive and pulsating effects as well. This pedal sounds amazing, and offers a stunning graphical view of the virtual rotors on its built-in display.
      Authentic rotary speaker sounds via COSM® technology Slow/Fast transition time is adjustable from gradual to rapid change; optional Expression pedal can control speed in real time Onboard Overdrive effects Adjustable mix balance between Treble Rotor and Bass Rotor 4 types of sounds, from standard rotary speaker effects to rock-oriented tones, UNI-V, and more Guitar/Keyboard switch Dazzling virtual-rotor display

      COSM Technology Years of intensive research and development have made Roland and BOSS world leaders in modeling technology. 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.
      With the RT-20, COSM is used to simulate classic rotary characteristics, and beyond.
      The virtual horn and bass speaker can be independently adjusted, while the RT-20's unique graphic display provides a realtime view of the rotation pattern and speed.

      Connections

      Guitars and keyboards alike can be plugged into the RT-20; use the Drive Type switch to optimize the effects for guitar or keyboard. Surround your listeners in animated sound with the RT-20's dual outputs, which enable true stereo effects. Add color by adding an Expression pedal (such as the new BOSS FV-500H/FV-500L, optional), which lets you control parameters such as rotation speed seamlessly from slow to fast in real time. The RT-20's phone jack is handy for private practice and experimentation.

      Virtual Rotor Display
      Thanks to its stunning visual display, the RT-20 might be the most eye-catching pedal in BOSS history. The spinning lights don't just look cool, they also show the audio-rotation characteristics of the RT-20 in real time. The center of the display, illuminated in red light, represents the virtual horn. The outside ring, illuminated in blue, displays the rotation of the virtual bass speaker. It's attractive and informative!
