NPD: Boss ES-8 along with a pedal board rebuild

[GOHOINC]

So I'm buying a new house and sold both my Motoraves for some back up cash. Its a heartbreaker but sometimes these things need to happen I suppose. Anyway I figured to make myself feel better about it I needed to finally pull the trigger on an es-8. Got it used for a good price and now I can sell my ground control pro and my lehle dual sgos. I ran out of cable ends so I need to order more but it is functional for now.

Btw i run this along with 2 voodoo lab control switchers to change cbannels on my xtc classic and 20th. Took me a while to figure how to get all that working but once i figured it out it was a breeze to replicate.

An ES-8 is in my future, for sure.

My Friedman Smallbox is not MIDI. Will the ES-8 be able to change amp channels also? The Friedman's footswitch cable is just a regular instrument cable.

 

[John 14:6]

Thanks, I will check out the manual. I am considering buying a bigger board and switching system and maybe taking everything to Dave Friedman to put it together.

Yes there are trs switching jacks on the es. It will also worm with midi channel switchers via pc and cc messages.

Good stuff, landed one last week and so far I'm impressed. No tone change when bypassed, switches silently in/out, can switch amps or channels on an amp, can use expression pedals to whatever you assign them to. Has mono send/stereo return loop as well as stereo send/return. And you can run 4CM if needed. Well built and well thought out, and easy to navigate

Got some more jacks and setup my old volume pedal as an expression for the two delays. The es-8 is pretty badass
