Boss FV-500H Mono Volume Pedal Review

Boss FV-500H Mono Volume Pedal
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'll keep this short. This pedal is sturdy, has tuner out and volume control. Also, you can adjust the pedal resistance to your own liking!!! Major bonus for live play as I hated my last touchy Fender volume pedal as it was too lose and just touching it caused big volume swings.
Haven't done these reviews much, but the vendor was cool, fast ship and the lowest price on the Web.
Sound is great, no tone suck...............I'm a pedal and amp geek and know the differences and this is great. Only draw back is the size, much like the full sized EB pedal, but very sturdy!
Cheers!

BOSS BCB-60 Pedal Board Review

BOSS BCB-60 Pedal Board
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I recently just went back to using BOSS pedals after a long usage of many so called "BOUTIQUE) pedals. I decided to simplify my pedalboard, and my life, and get this pedalboard, and a few select BOSS pedals to use. I like this alot, because it lets me keep all the pedals I use in one convienient location, and its a grab and go setup. Speaking of set up, you can leave your pedals in the case, and when you are ready to use them, just plug in the adapter into some power, and your ready to go. It sure has simplified my life, and has gotten unwanted clutter(pedals) off my floor, thus eliminating a mess. The only thing I would change on this pedalboard, is the sliding plastic latches on it. They are a little to flimsy for my taste, but oh well. Looks like BOSS could at least redesign the latches. Anyway, all in all, if you are looking for a grab and go pedalbard, and only use 6-7 pedals, give this a try....

Boss ME25 Guitar Multi Effect Pedal Review

First of all not having the power adapter shipped in with this was a major turn off for me. Why it has to be sold separately?! doesn't make any sense to me. The effects are alright, the individual sounds needs time to get used to it. I am currently experiencing latency coming from the USB plug (even the plug wasn't included as well).
Overall its a fun multi effect i like the loop recording ability.
The not included things were very annoying for me.

ToadWorks Mr. Squishy Compressor Effect Pedal Review

I love this pedal for what it does - it does no-change-in-my-tone compression. It doesn't do sustain - it's just plain ol' compression. It is the most transparent compressor that I've tried but, TBH, I'm not too knowledgeable on compressors. I did have a Robert Keeley two knob that I got rid of - didn't like it that much for various reasons. This is a nice compression-only pedal.

Visual Sound One Spot Combo Pack Review

Everyone has these, and they are good in a pinch. It comes with an exceptionally long cable, and then another exceptionally long chaining cable, but between those, and the 1700mA output, you should be able to power most of a standard medium sized pedal board. For that purpose, and the fact that it's so cheap ($30 to power up all your pedals, when most power adapters on their own are ~$20? That is a stellar deal), these things are great. Like I said, good in a pinch too, and I definitely don't think it's a bad idea to keep one of these around, in the event that your *real* power supply should crap out on you at an inopportune time. This also comes with a plethora of connectors, including battery clips and mini-power inputs.
There's a few reasons why this should not be your *real* power supply. For one, even if you do use only 9V pedals and this has the amperage to power all of them... these are notorious pedal-buzzers. The more effects you add on to it, the buzzier it will get. This is especially bad with anything that has an LFO, which admittedly, most 9V pedals do not... but even still, this is a noisy little device.
Secondly, this won't be able to handle anything that requires AC, and it won't be able to handle any 12V, 18V, or 24V pedals. A lot of pedals are 9V, so this covers most of your bases... but don't count on it to be a solution to all of your pedal problems without doing a little more research into what your pedals need. You can fry your pedals and the power supply if you connect your pedals to the wrong power.

Boss DB-60 Dr. Beat Metronome Review

Boss DB-60 Dr. Beat Metronome
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you are looking for a cut-down version of the Boss DB 90 Dr. Beat Metronome that is easier to take with you in a pocket, then this is for you. It keeps many of the most essential features that made Dr. Beat metronomes the best on the market years ago, and is much smaller and more portable.
However, there are compromises: the volume controls for the beat divisions, bar line accents and overall volume control are very limited four-step controls (off, quiet, medium, and loud) controlled by successive presses of a button. This is not nearly as flexible or convenient as the sliders on the DB-90. Moreso, the tempo is controlled by a button, which must be pressed once for EACH beat per minute (bpm) of tempo change, which makes any significant change of tempo laborious. You can use the tap function to get an approximate tempo, and then dial it in one bpm at a time after that, but that is still frustrating compared to the wheel on the DB-90. Also, the maximum volume, though reasonable for a small metronome, is still limited compared to its big brother.
Overall, I'd say this is one of the best small metronomes on the market, but if the size isn't an issue, the DB-90 is well worth the extra money for flexibility, ease of use, and the many additional features. For the serious musician looking for a serious metronome, I recommend Boss DB 90 Dr. Beat Metronome. For those who already have a DB-90 and are looking for a more portable version of it, this DB-60 is a great choice.

Boss DB-30C Dr. Beat Metronome Review

Boss DB-30C Dr. Beat Metronome

Folks, this does it all. Choosing your tempo is quick and the "tap" feature is huge when making a big time change. It provides both audible (click) and visual (lights and meter) timing cues.
The mute is helpful to quiet it down while still using the visual timing queues and the device retains it's settings when powered down so next time you begin right where you left off.
This device covers various time signatures and I love its ability to sub-divide timing. For example, you can set your main click to 80bpm AND also have a sub-click occurring based upon a fractional note (e.g. eighth, triplets, sixteenth notes, etc.). Very cool!

Boss TU-88 - Black Guitar and Bass Tuner Review

Boss TU-88 - Black Guitar and Bass Tuner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I sometimes have to practice my electric bass with headphones so as to not disturb my roomate. this unit is a chromatic tuner, metronome, and monitor mixer for headphones. I plug my mp3 player (with headphone output) into the tu88, and my guitar and headphones. I can tune my guitar with audio cues when I'm in tune, then turn down the tuner tones to hear the guitar and mp3. it runs on 9v, but doesn't seem to have auto shut off especially if you leave something pluged into it. overall I'm pleased with the unit. it also has lots of different metronome patterns and a speaker for using the metronome without headphones too!

BOSS TU-2 Stage Tuner Review

BOSS TU-2 Stage Tuner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've had the Boss Chromatic tuner for 8 years. I used it as a gigging musician for three years, and it was the one part of my rig that never failed me. It's simple to use, very durable and versatile (for both guitar and bass, and with half step and step lower tunings). Now I use it in my home studio - it's far more reliable than any other tuner I've used, gear or software.
I've worked in the radio industry for over 5 years, and I've met a large portion of the alternative and active rock bands. When they come to play in the studio, they bring a Boss Chromatic tuner. I've had many conversations with these professional musicians about how they would vouch for it as their most indispensable piece of equipment.
At $99 bucks, it might seem kind of pricey. But the rest of your effects pedals are worthless if your guitar isn't in tune. Even if you're just a beginner or a hobbyist, this is one investment you'll be pleased you made over and over again.

Turbo Tuner ST-200 Strobe Tuner Stomp Box Review

Turbo Tuner ST-200 Strobe Tuner Stomp Box
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is the fastest, most accurate pedal tuner in the market.
Here's why you need to get one.
VERY ACCURATE. For a slight premium over the $100 and below tuners from Boss, Korg, Planet Waves etc, you get a real strobe tuner accurate to .02 cents (tuning accuracy unit). Compare this to the 1 to 3 cent accuracy from the bigger brands and the 0.1 cent accuracy of a $200 Peterson tuner.
VERY FAST. It immediately picks up the low B on my 5 string bass. No need to pluck it in a particular way unlike some tuners.
TRUE BYPASS. No tone suck for the diehards.
MUTES WHEN TURNED ON. No one wants to hear you tuning.
PROGRAMMABLE. You can set and save up to 3 your own custom tunings. It also has Chromatic, Guitar and 4/5 string Bass tuning presets already built in.
BUILT LIKE A TANK. Take care of it and it will last forever.
STANDARD BOSS 9VDC JACK. Easily integrated into your pedalboard.
OUTSTANDING SERVICE. My unit exhibited a loud pop every time I actuated it(a typical problem with true bypass pedals). Sonic Research took the time to troubleshoot my signal chain to help me out and offer possible solutions. Eventually, the solution was to just use it more until the foot switch broke in.

Boss TU-3 Chromatic Pedal Tuner Review

Boss TU-3 Chromatic Pedal Tuner
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a newer tuner by Boss with double the accuracy from their old tuners. Boss added more lights to the front panel so it is easier to see how off you are out of tune. The battery is easy to change (no tools needed) and the lights are pretty bright to see in the sun. Of course, the pedal mutes the instrument when it's tapped, so this is great to tune up between songs. I use this for my violin, paired with the Boss EQ pedal, which makes the perfect combo for a musician on stage. Runs on a single 9 volt that lasts many many hours. Just remember to UNPLUG the input 1/4" jack when you're not going to use it for a while, otherwise it will drain the battery
