Customer Reviews
4.5 out of 5 (141 ratings) Rate and Review This Product
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "This is the definition of Versatility"
Sound: As other reviewers have said, this thing is amazingly versatile. Highly underrated, it'll churn out anything from a sick raspy rhythm sound to a screeching super sustained solo sound to a nasty bottom for drop D to fuzz (if you turn the high and low down and the distortion and gain boost up; it's just killer). Feature: The features are just the pedal and its entirety. This thing does almost anything. You won't get as much dynamics from it as opposed to a nice overdrive pedal but for lead work this thing kicks serious butt. I'm going to back it up with a DS-1 for rhythm and with the two channel Behringer FBQ1502, I will be able to get every sound under the sun. Ease of Use: It's a pedal. You click it on and off. It didn't take me long to start messing with the knobs but only recently have I really fallen in love with this thing. Quality: I'm sure the components could be upgraded because these are made in Asia and all that junk. I think with some equalization you won't have to worry about that. Value: For one of the cheapest Boss pedals, this is incredible. If it dropped to $50 I'd be a little more happy but paying $70 for a pedal that'll cure any disease is worth it. Manufacturer Support: I don't know what it's like but this thing is so solid they could have monkeys manning the phones and I don't think anyone would be the wiser. The Wow Factor: It's pretty sexy. I wanted this thing badly because my lead guitarist at the time had a MT-2 so I wanted to combat it with this thing. I'm surprised people go for the MT-2 so much more than this thing. Of the few Boss pedals I have tried, I think this one really shines out. Overall: My new solid state live show set up is based wholly around this thing. An FM65 pumping out these tones will suffice in a lot of places and I can really live with myself for switching to solid state because of this box.
Style of Music: Indie Pop (currently)

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us. "Great Petal That Gives You Any Sound You Want"
Sound: This petal provides all the distortion you will ever need. I was debating between this petal, the md2, and boss's mt2 metal master. I decided to go with this petal and im glad i made this choice. however, i bet that both petals sound amazing. Feature: The features are great. It has a distortion knob, plus an extra gain boost. if u crank the tone and bottom knobs to the right, you get plenty of low end. if it would have came w/ a power adapter, it would have gotten a 10. it does eat through 9V batteries fairly good. however this is one minor thing and does very little to take away from the overall quality of the petal. Quality: Look at the brand. Its a Boss. They're made to last. Feels like a brick. Maybe even better. It also comes w/ a 5 year warranty. Value: I would have liked it cheaper. But wouldn't we all. Its not bad at all for the versitality it gives you. Manufacturer Support: Haven't had to deal w/ boss. However ive heard that they are good. The Wow Factor: Uh. Petals don't have much sex appeal. But i do like the color and font :). Its a classic looking boss. Chicks dig it! haha. Overall: I love this petal. If ur looking at any other petal, stop. Get this petal, u won't b disappointed.
Style of Music: rock, punk rock

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!
