The Boss ES-5 Effects Switching System is a compact and versatile tool for guitarists and bassists. It is based on the concept and features of the flagship ES-8, but has been simplified to offer more practical functions. With programmable switching, five loops, analogue circuit design, routing flexibility, and external control parameters, the ES-5 opens up a whole new world of musical expression and creativity. It features individual buffer control for input and output, level variability for the output buffer, and a compact and robust body.
If you’re looking for a professional, practical, and creative solution for your pedalboard, the Boss ES-5 is the perfect choice.
The ES-5 provides complete control over your pedalboard, allowing you to activate loops as needed. The on/off state of each loop and other parameters can be saved in a patch, making it easy to change sounds on the fly. It also offers versatile routing options, real-time control options, and MIDI compatibility, all in a space-saving unit.
One of the key features of the ES-5 is its unprecedented routing flexibility. It allows you to rearrange the order of your effects chain, offering endless possibilities for unique sounds and experimentation. The parallel chain function further expands the options for effect combinations, and all of these configurations can be saved for instant access during live performances.
In addition to the five effect loops, the ES-5 also features TRS control output jacks, a control/expression input jack, and MIDI connectors. It ensures crystal clear tone with no sound deterioration, thanks to carefully designed analogue circuitry. The ES-5 is also built to withstand the rigors of the stage, with a roadworthy design and robust footswitches.
The ES-5 has a memory capacity of 200 patches, a large display for easy navigation, and customizable footswitch assignability. It is a favorite among professionals worldwide.
