Boss pedals are still one of my all time favourites. Can’t beat their switching design, ever step on a metal dimmer type switch in your sock feet? And their chorus pedals and their Blues Driver pedals compete with some of the boutique best in my opinion. I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Keep ‘em coming!
I was late to the guitar pedal game and boss is still the best after trying multiple companies. It's very clear that musicians create their stuff, not just marketing people who know musical gear
TY for the reviews and the demo's. I started playing again after a really long break and want to pick up as looper pedal. I am now sold on the Boss 30. Keep coming with the fantastic reviews.
Respect guys! Just starting to get into learning guitar, and your videos are really good info! I learn a lot - tips, tricks, equipment, tech... Keep cranking out the videos, they are much appreciated!
I was surprised to not see the Boss SD-1 which still holds the record for the most Boss pedals ever sold. It came out 3 months after the ProCo Rat which was the first ever Distortion pedal. The CE-2 Chorus is the most copied Chorus ever made so it definitely should be in the top 5. I thought the tuner was no big deal. It has had others as good or better and even cheaper for past a decade. The looper is a quality unit but it was a "MeToo' product the day it came out. I was however glad to see the Metal Zone ...like it or not but it has accomplished starting entire new genres of of Metal.
I use the rc 50 loop station and its kinda overkill, but having three phrases is very nice for live solo looping. Take away the bass, the drums seperately, stopping it for a couple of beats completely and then coming back with the full ensemble is just fun to play and fun to listen to.
Upgraded to a DD-20 and never looked back. The presets were great with a band setting that used a metronome live. When I started the song with a heavy heavy dotted delay I wouldn’t have to worry about getting the stomp right since I could just set the bpm to match the met.
You guys are great - and very funny today. Just getting into guitars and loving it. Your product descriptions and demos are really helpful. I wish I lived in Texas so I could visit your store on the regular.
Indeed... Boss is the Boss. Since you asked about other effects, Whadya like to help vocals on a nice little acoustic guitar/vocal mic setup. Maybe something you'd use in a coffee shop or for worship or maybe coaxing a princess out of a tower or something.
totally respectable choices! I love my Blue Driver! the RC-30 is pretty outdated though... the RC-500 (from 2020) is just the better version in every way, especially sound quality (not stealing your treble anymore), while not being a monster like the RC-300. You should check it out! ;) Thanks for the vid.
Q regarding looper pedals; if we're looking for something newer than the RC-30 in the Boss line, while keeping in mind the utility of a dedicated Stop button, would the next option be the RC-500? Though it has (3) buttons, one of them is a dedicated Stop. Any info appreciated!
I haven't tried the RC-500, but I did have an RC-30, once upon a time. The RC-1 was too little, not enough functionality. The RC-300 was too much, I couldn't be bothered reading the manual and learning that beast. The RC-XL or whatever... just the RC-30 with all the good parts taken away. The RC-30 was a perfect looping pedal.
Chief, Is there any review on "The Lâg HyVibe Smart Guitar"? It is an acoustic guitar, made in France with internal effect that vibrate the sound board of the guitar. It has No internal speaker. I found it that the guitar without the effect is good and with the effect, it blows my mind. I saw Justin Johnson introduced it.
Unlike most my top 5 boss pedal is kinda recently discontinued stuff and old still in production. Boss da2 -mdp distortion but i kinda use it to push clean amp, great string seperation Boss cp1x -some people like squish and 76, i like this a lot more and it's quiet Boss od3 -I play single coil, bd2 is bit too bitey, this felt just nice. Just recently got it and quickly became my top od Boss ps5 -i use it only for flutter sound you get when slapping floyd rose. Sadly ps6 didn't have this. Boss DD20 -honestly why buy lousy basic af dd3T when you can get this cheap used with only a bit more cash.
The tuner is obviously correct. In my opinion the OD3 is superior to the BD2. Can't fault Boss delays. I don't play metal, so cross that one off. I'll go with TU3, CS2,SD1,DC2w, and RV6.
U were right about being wrong. The correct best boss pedals are... PS-6 Harmonist SD-2 Turbo Distortion DD-8 Digital Delay Compressor Octaver And next time you feature a friggin pedal, bear in mind that you already know what it looks like, and turn the damn RC around while you endlessly prattle on and on about it, so your audience can have a look. How is anybody stupid enough for an oversight that biblically huge?
I feel like the Metal Zone's name is a big part of why it gets so much hate. A pedal named Punk Zone would probably get as much hate due to both genre's emphasis on authenticity. When I played in a punk band we used Metal Zones because of the three band EQ. You can really fine tune the sound you want. I had tried a DS-1 at first but I just couldn't get the sound I wanted.

Am I missing the CE-2 chorus? When I think of Boss pedals, this comes to my mind.

Cooper is a killer on a guitar! What a fantastic player!
Yes, Cooper is the Boss!
Awesome playing and love that part at 6:59 - 7:07

The DS-1 Distortion pedal is the biggest seller of all Boss pedals followed by the Chorus
My top 5 Boss pedals are BD2, SD1, DS1, MT2, and RV3
The Boss DD-8 has easily become my favorite delay pedal of all time.
And the TR-2 remains underrated

My Favorite Boss Pedals are: BD-2 and RV-6
both are always on :P
Really nice lineup!! Cooper, you are the man!!

I think the Boss ME-80 is a totally unrated pedal, it covers tons of Boss sounds. Plus, it’s great as a headphone practice amp.
Agreed, i use an ME-80 too and its great!!
You guys are great - and very funny today. Just getting into guitars and loving it. Your product descriptions and demos are really helpful. I wish I lived in Texas so I could visit your store on the regular.
I have pedals 6 on my board. 5 of them are Boss. Blues Driver is great. After watching your vid I may "need" a couple more.
That looper sounds good. Yes the double tap is tough at times.
My top five (which I own and use): GE-7, BD-2w, IR-2, CS-3, and TU-3.
Indeed... Boss is the Boss. Since you asked about other effects, Whadya like to help vocals on a nice little acoustic guitar/vocal mic setup. Maybe something you'd use in a coffee shop or for worship or maybe coaxing a princess out of a tower or something.
This was a great video filled with helpful advice. But without a doubt the best part of this video was being able to listen to Copper play!
Love the custom warmoth neck on the fiesta red strat. Beautiful playing and great list!!
Cooper's playing is great, but especially shines during the TU-3W demo!
My favourite Boss Pedals are the JB-2, DD-3, RC-1, TR-2 and CE-2
Blues Driver in Acoustic would be what, a Gibson L-00 or Martin CEO-7?
The TU3W glance was hilarious 😂

Great review! Love the Blues Driver! In my opinion, I think BOSS make the best Loop units in the market.
I bought a DD3T 2 months ago and it's so damn good. It's usable in every situation, more importantly holy hell can that guy play
the same reason some bully others. no real reason... might also be just a meme ...
How about Boss's acoustic side?? Like, um, the AD-10 perhaps? What say you Chis/Cooper?

I've got the Metal Zone MT-2W Wazacraft, and I don't know why people hate on it..
Because it sucks.
You’ll understand one day.

I love my boss Rv6 with accustic guitar
Are they all buffered ?
What amp are you guys using?
Can’t go wrong with Boss!
Unlike most my top 5 boss pedal is kinda recently discontinued stuff and old still in production.
Boss da2
-mdp distortion but i kinda use it to push clean amp, great string seperation
Boss cp1x
-some people like squish and 76, i like this a lot more and it's quiet
Boss od3
-I play single coil, bd2 is bit too bitey, this felt just nice. Just recently got it and quickly became my top od
Boss ps5
-i use it only for flutter sound you get when slapping floyd rose. Sadly ps6 didn't have this.
Boss DD20
-honestly why buy lousy basic af dd3T when you can get this cheap used with only a bit more cash.
I would have added a Dimension-C Waza or any equivalent Chorus
Which would you recommend for wonderwall?
Metal Zone, all knobs to 10
That "church pedalboard, it is sick" schtick was funny.
Need to do a review of cool boutique pedals...?
Maybe some Fairfield?
Best tuner demo ever!
Any pedalboard without a Boss pedal is like Huevos Rancheros without some beans.
What happened to the audio?
The tuner is obviously correct. In my opinion the OD3 is superior to the BD2. Can't fault Boss delays. I don't play metal, so cross that one off.
I'll go with TU3, CS2,SD1,DC2w, and RV6.
Cooper just blows me away. Why aren't you a super star lead .Turing the world making crazy money. Such a great player
Boss OD3 - legendary
wheres the sd-1 at
Damn, that guy is good!
Still rockin my TU 2 since 25 years. Absolutely not destroyable
The delay joke got me lol
Is Boss ever going to come out with an acoustic overdrive like Fender? No other company is in that space. That makes me think there is no demand.
Waza tuner? Why?
Good to see more appreciation for the boss metal zone. To me the best distortion pedal out there
Hard to argue with this list but just as hard not seeing a chorus pedal when you're talking Boss.
SD-1 is the pedal
Just both at the same time “I think so”
U were right about being wrong. The correct best boss pedals are...
PS-6 Harmonist
SD-2 Turbo Distortion
DD-8 Digital Delay
Compressor
Octaver
And next time you feature a friggin pedal, bear in mind that you already know what it looks like, and turn the damn RC around while you endlessly prattle on and on about it, so your audience can have a look. How is anybody stupid enough for an oversight that biblically huge?

Every time I watch these reviews, I can’t stop envying Cooper’s playing, Just shredding that fretboard into pieces, yikes.
I have no opinions about anything. And that's a fact.
You chose that crap Metal Zone and no CE-2?
What were you guys smoking?
Awful lot of dad jokes in here!
Great work guys, thank you.
no ds-1? FAIL
No need for it when you got the metal zone😎🤙
@@acecomet lol, says noobs
Ninguno , ahorita ya pasaron de moda
God damnit tuners aren't effects pedals they don't count
stop putting chromatic tuners on lists. sooooo lame. rest of list was cool tho
