"Great tool."
Great tool and Boss have been making it for years. Just perfect for me . I teach music at school , teach guitar after school and have gigs and concerts all year long.
Sound
I haven't rate 9 because we will have something better one day. But not yet. More usefull with nylon strings guitars with piezzo than metal ones. Anyway, I use it every time I play plugged acoustic.
It really helped me to control things in difficult sounding situations. The top and the bottom controls are more efficent than an equalizer.This pedal gives me what I need , an efficient sound in almost all situations, very easy to control and very stong heavy duty stuff. For unplugged, only in certain circumstances, I use a high quality guitar and I don't use any pedal of course. That's the engineer job, mic and sound...
Features
Really strong machine . I use it a lot and haven't got any problems yet.
Ease of Use
No manual needed. So simple. Just select the proper output, guitar amp or PA.
Quality
Really strong, nothing fancy.
Value
Very good value. I bought second hand in a shop for 100 euros. I think the price for a new one is now more than 200 .
I would say it's worth the price if you need a strong reliable pedal , if you don't play that much in concerts or just want to have a pedal for home, have a look at zoom products , cheaper, more fancy sounds and gadgets. Work well anyway. But not the quality of the Boss.
The Wow Factor
The worst or the best apealing... So basic, but I like it like that.

Eh, I would look for something else if you are wanting to enhance acoustic tone.
Sound
Doesn't do much for my Taylor with an ES, my Takamine with a piezo, or my PRS Hollowbody II with piezo. Just sounds like crapola.
Features
Very simple and direct...not too much to worry about or jack with it.
Quality
Built great, should last a while.
Value
Just don't think it provides anything of great sound or tone.
Manufacturer Support
Haven't needed to use it.

"I am extremely pleased with this effects box. It was well worth the money invested!"
Sound
I was blown away by how it enhanced my Taylor guitar. I had been pretty protective of my guitar's own sound, but this was a very sweet surprise. It doesn't take away from my guitar's own personality, but makes it shine much brighter. It has truly enhanced my creativity!
Quality
This thing seems to be built like a tank!
