A fantastic discontinued pedal from Boss. Made in July of 1997 this thing sounds amazing and has limitless capabilities. This one is in great condition showing VERY little use and graded conservatively. Please feel free to ask questions! Local pickup welcomed with a smile!
Used by famous bands like Explosions in the Sky, Sigur Rus, Radiohead
