Yup, the Japanese made pedals are the best of the BOSS stuff. Much better than the cheaper made stuff they put out now, which are still useful in some situations regardless of the lower quality IMO.Jack Napalm":1ya4ehvc said:billboogie":1ya4ehvc said:I too never understood the bad rap about Boss pedals. All the pics I see of big name players and they're boards there is always some Boss pedals in the chain. If they are good enough for players like Jeff Beck then why are'nt they good enough for us wankers? To each his own I suppose
I never understood the hate either until I started putting a three or more BOSS pedals together. That's when I started to hear 'tone-suck'. I think they are fine used one or two in a chain but after that they loose something. I think that is where a lot of the hate comes from. They also started using cheaper components along the way which has attributed to it. The Japanese made pedals are still sought after.
