Boss VO-1 Vocoder
Boss VO-1 is an excellent choice for guitarists and other musicians who are looking to add some unique and high-quality vocal effects to their music. Its range of different modes and voice-like sounds make it a versatile and powerful tool. The fact that you can use a microphone plugged into the pedal, instead of a plastic tube, is a game changer for the Talk Box effect.
Best Delay Pedal to Buy in 2023
Unless you’re sure you only want warm and short delay sounds, we suggest you pick a digital delay. For the most part you will get a more versatile pedal that is easier to use. That said, there are some cool analog delay pedals out there with interesting features. At the end of the day, any delay pedal you pick up at any price point will open a whole world of new musical possibilities for you.
Boss TR-2 Tremolo
The Boss TR-2 is a great guitar pedal for anyone looking to add tremolo effects to their playing. It is versatile, easy to use, and capable of producing a wide range of sounds. Whether you want a fast stuttering effect or a more organic tremolo sound, the TR-2 has you covered.
Boss TU-3 Tuner
The Boss TU-3 is a reliable and well-built tuner pedal, but there are better value options available on the market. If you can find a TU-3 second-hand or with a good discount, you will not be disappointed. I have no plans to replace mine any time soon. At full price though, consider other options from Korg and TC Electronic.
Boss OD-3
The OD-3 might just be the most underrated Boss pedal. At £99, nothing really comes close to the sound quality and versatility of this overdrive. It is also very easy to dial in a great guitar tone with it, as all the knob ranges will sound great! Just keep in mind that it is a very transparent overdrive, so don’t expect it to transform your tone!
Boss DS-1
The Boss DS-1 is not a very versatile pedal. If you want to push an already distorted amp even further, it will do the job, but it is not a great source of distortion on its own. At £65, it is priced just a little bit below its competition. There are however more versatile pedals out there that cost about the same and will do what the DS-1 does, but more and better.
Boss DD-500
The Boss DD-500 is a best-in-class high-fidelity delay pedal and looper. After a bit of a learning curve, it will easily replace all your existing delay units.
Boss DM-2W
In addition to an excellent reissue with much less noise, you get a new custom mode with more clarity and longer delays. Connecting an expression pedal further expands the capabilities of this unit.
Boss SD-1W
The Boss SD1W stacks up well against similarly priced pedals. If you were not a fan of the original, it is unlikely you will enjoy the Waza Craft version. However, if you were already a fan, but just want a little bit more from your SD-1, the SD-1W is an excellent choice!
