In a market flooded with fancy boutique analog pedals and hybrid high-end stompboxes, Boss pedals sit nonchalantly without any frills or fuss. Boss guitar and bass pedals run on 9v, are just the right size, and are built like a tank. They are readily available, easy to modify, and easy to repair. They are affordable to begin with and great value in the used market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they may look simple, Boss pedals are built with great attention to detail. The silent FET switches, thick steel casings, recessed knobs, and LEDs are all top-shelf components. The rubberized non-skid bottoms and backlights are as good as they get. Even the battery compartments are super convenient – the panel can be unscrewed by hand to change the battery in a flash.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pedals like the GE7B, CE-2B, OC-2 and BF-2 have enjoyed the attention of many bass players since the 80s. Boss has set the benchmark in guitar and bass pedals and offers some great utility pedals that sit well in a bassist\u2019s pedalboard. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Few people realize the advantage of having a uniform sized and color-coded pedalboard. One single glance is all you need to tell which Boss pedal does what. And when they say stompbox,<\/em> you can stomp that box all you want, it will still outlast your career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Boss pedals came about, the market wasn\u2019t saturated with as many big brands and boutique pedal makers as there are today. That is probably why Boss pedals have never been about being quirky or flashy looking. Boss\u2019s strategy is to make indestructible units that can last forever and load them with features at affordable prices so people can own as many of them as they need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the value, functionality and QA, you may once in while bump into a detractor heckling Boss pedals, but they wouldn’t be so pervasive if they weren’t such high-quality units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let us take a look at some of the best Boss pedals from the past and present that warrant the attention of effect-hungry bass players.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
