Overview

The short-lived and rare Boss FA-1 FET Amplifier is a clean boost and pre-amp with a switchable low-cut filter and separate bass and treble controls. The Edge of U2 is known for using a Boss FA-1 regularly as part of his rig. This prominent use and the rarity of original specimens have led to a DIY boom with this particular pedal. 

Years of Production: 1983 - 1984
