Switch it up. The BOSS ES-8 Effects Switching System lets you set up eight different effects loops all controlled by this single unit. Use any combination of effects you desire and switch between them with ease using the eight dedicated footswitches. Also boasting onboard memory, this system will allow you to store external control parameters as well as up to 800 patches for limitless possibilities. Welcome to a new era of flexibility, dynamism, and opportunities for your setup – now the sky is the limit when it comes to using your effects.
Your effects combinations, your way
Make your effects work together like never before. If you’re a musician who uses a lot of effects, it’s likely you already know the pain of having to do a little tap dance to change between different pedals. The ES-8 Effects Switching System eliminates this problem entirely, giving you a whopping eight different effects loops to play with. You can rig up and store different combinations of pedals to each loop and turn them on or off accordingly using the footswitches. The onboard memory will come in super useful too, allowing you to store different effect parameters and up to 800 patches. And three TRS control output jacks, two TRS expression output jacks, MIDI capability, as well as two TRS control/expression input jacks, makes for supreme dynamism in your setup.
Full analog clarity
Keep your tone pristine. This nifty system incorporates fully analog circuitry, meaning your signal remains pure and unadulterated. Each effect will sound wholly itself and your instrument too – whether the system is on or off. Plus, there’s also a mute switch, as well as a super intuitive interface for swift, easy navigation. The ES-8 will revolutionize your rig instantly.
