A History of Boss:

Boss have been manufacturing and developing some of the world’s best-loved effects for over 40 years. Founding in 1973, Boss were originally known as Beckmen Musical Instruments. The earliest product the company created was the B-100 Boss, a preamp for acoustic guitars. The first effect to proudly bear the Boss name was the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, a pedal version of Roland JC-120’s luscious chorus/vibrato circuit.

1977 was the year Boss would revolutionise the guitar world, with the introduction of their line of compact pedals. The pedalboard-friendly shape of these pedals would become iconic symbol in the world of stompboxes. Whilst there were plenty of pro players that used Boss stompboxes for their astounding tone, rugged reliability and compact form factor, their affordable price meant that beginners could access them as well. Boss’s compact effects pedals remain mainstays of guitarist's pedalboards, from touring professionals to weekend warriors, around the world.

To this day, Boss remain one of the most popular guitar companies out there. In addition to their classic stompbox effects, Boss have continued to lead the way with their loopers, multi-effects units, guitar synths and amplifiers.
