BF-3 Flanger

Building on the 20-year legacy of the famous BOSS BF-2, the new BF-3 flanger pedal gives guitarists and bassists an updated version of the classic BOSS flanger with the thickest stereo flanging sounds ever. Two new modes (Ultra and Gate/Pan) create stereo flanging with incredible depth--even Slicer-type effects and sounds that seem to "swirl" around the listener. An instant classic.

CE-5 Chorus Ensemble

The CE-5 Chorus Ensemble is BOSS' ultimate compact chorus pedal, covering a wide frequency range and featuring high- and low-cut filters. This lets users create any kind of chorus effect--from a mild, natural chorus to the clear and penetrating stereo chorus effect popular in contemporary music.

OC-5 Octave

Fusing classic BOSS octave tones with the latest tracking technologies, the BOSS OC-5 sets a new standard in octave pedal performance. Vintage mode provides a spot-on recreation of the legendary mono OC-2 from 1982, while Poly mode offers numerous enhancements for extended-range playing. And with the addition of an octave-up feature, a span of three octaves is now available for creative exploration. From fat, low mono sounds to octave-shifted chords and more, the OC-5 delivers the widest range, finest sound quality, and best playability in any octave stomp to date.

The XS-1 is an amazing pitch shifter pedal from Boss. Boss is a Japanese company that produces high-quality guitar pedals. The XS-1 is definitely one of those. The pedal is even suitable for basses as Boss made the system with the lower frequencies in mind.

Transposition

The XS-1 makes use of Boss’ new Polyphonic Pitch-Shifting Technology. This technology takes the tones of your guitar and beautifully transposes them to whatever key you want. They even make sure that small deviations won’t get bigger with the transposition. This is unfortunately something that can happen with transposition, but Boss made sure that this won’t happen with the XS-1. Furthermore, you can partially transpose your bass/guitar. A lot of alternative musicians like to play in Drop-D or even Drop C, while also still playing songs in the regular tuning. Retuning your guitar after every song is a hassle, and with the XS-1 it won’t be necessary anymore! With just one push of the button you can change your tuning without even having to stop playing. Do keep in mind that only the amplified sound will be transposed, not the actual strings on your guitar.

Sound

But won’t the sound quality get all messed up? Fortunately, it won’t! It’s true that sound can be a little distorted when you transpose it, ruining the quality and making other effects sound less good. However, Boss made sure that the transposed sound is the same depth and quality as the non-transposed sound. Consequently, you can also add other effects to your setup without diminishing the sound quality.
