General

Are you looking for a professional high-quality switcher for your individual effect pedals? Allow us to introduce the ES-8 Effects Switching System. This Boss switching system allows you to make the most of your stomp boxes without the least bit of audio quality loss. The ES-8 was designed so you can use your guitar effects without any holds barred, ensuring optimal freedom of expression.

Boss ES-8 Effects Switching System: Connectors

With this Boss switcher, you have six mono loops, a mono loop with stereo return and a stereo loop at your disposal. In essence, that means you can connect eight separate stompboxes, but of course there's always room for experiments. Additionally, the ES-8 is fitted with connectors for a stereo volume pedal and two control input or expression input pedals - that's even more options! You can also plug in two external expression pedals and three external controllers. MIDI in and out/thru options and a connector for the included Boss PSA S adapter at the rear of the Boss switching system complete the picture.

A World of Switchable Possibilities

The Boss ES-8's twelve footswitches allow for elaborate control options, and you can fine-tune your settings using the eight buttons at the top of the control panel. Navigating your presets is a piece of cake using the bank switches, and presets are easily created with a little help from the memory switch and edit buttons. If you want to tune your instrument quietly, or quickly produce a sound that's free of effects, the mute/bypass footswitch will come in handy. In short, the Boss EX-8 Effects Switching System is a game-changer that opens up a world of possibilities for ambitious guitarists.

Boss ES-8 Effects Switching System

Wrote the following about Boss ES-8 Effects Switching System
Als je voor mogelijkheden gaat is er geen gelijke. Ik gebruik deze nu ongeveer 2 jaar. En ik heb nog geen 10 procent van de mogelijkheden benut.

Echt een aanrader voor iedereen die op zoek is naar een looper met enorme functionaliteit.

Na jaren met een G-system te hebben gespeeld wilde ik toch weer wat meer controle "on the fly" Het kost even wat inspanning om alles te installeren en leren het systeem te begrijpen maar de mogelijkheden zijn eindeloos. Aanrader!

Geweldig apparaat van Boss, je kan 8 verschillende loops maken plus 1 volume loop. Super handig als je je volume pedaal in je signaal keten tussen je pedalen wilt zetten.
Daarnaast werkt de PC / Mac editor erg goed als je presets wilt maken. Ook werkt het apparaat erg overzichtelijk, je kan snel wisselen tussen presets en stompbox mode.
Ook kun je een expressie pedaal aansluiten op de ES-8 die vervolgens signaal via midi naar de gewenste midi pedaal stuurt. Ik heb bijvoorbeeld een preset dat mijn Strymon Bigsky in loop 8, waar van ik de mix van reverb kon bepalen met mijn expressie pedaal.
Zo zijn er nog veel en veel meer mogelijkheden uit te voeren met de Boss ES-8.

Epische switcher, zeer geavanceerde routing mogelijkheden en erg robuust.

Geweldig systeem!

Werkt precies zoals je verwacht. Enige nadeel is dat de 1/4 ingangen aan de achter kan best dicht op elkaar zitten. Hierdoor is het niet mogelijk om vele kabels te gebruiken met een bredere jack. Ik raad de boss BCK kabels aan of George L's. Naast dit is het systeem gecompliceerd en zeker niet voor beginners.

Cursus patch cables maken en signal paths is een aanrader.

NAMM 2016: Big Boss ES-8 Switcher Makes Way for the ES-5

Thursday 21 January 2016 By Lizanne

Boss is proud to announce the launch of the ES-5, an Effects Switching System for five pedals that can store up to 200 different settings. Technically, it's slightly more ingenious than the ES-8, which becomes apparent when you re-organise your effects pedals.
