Boss Es5 Volume Pedal

There is quite a substantial price difference between the es8 and es5 where i m from.

Boss es5 volume pedal. The es 5 is completely customizable and can even store information for external parameters on your pedals like delay time. To start you connect your pedals to the es 5 s audio loops and then activate the loops as needed to achieve various pedal combinations. As a workaround you could use one of the es5 loops for your amp s preamp and leave that loop turned on for every preset but then you re down to only 4 loops. Small footprint huge advance in a pedalboard.

The volume pedal loop in the es8 is nice because you can put your amp s preamp in there. Then you can move pedals in and out of the amp s fx loop at will. The boss es 5 is a pedalboard friendly effects switching system that provides you with a host of often requested features and functions. The best deal i could find for the es8 is just shy of double the price for the es5.

The boss es 5 is a flexible compact effects pedal switching system with five insert loops and memory and recall for up to 200 patches. Having the functionality to virtually switch around my pedal chain order without having to physically move them is key to my setup. Once you have connected all of your pedals to the boss es 5 you are now ready to begin building your first patch. The es 5 s onboard memory allows you to store 200 patches that can be recalled with a tap of your toe.

To connect additional effects pedals into the remaining effects loops on the es 5 repeat steps 2 4 above for each loop.
