Product Information

The ES-8 may seem daunting at first glance. But with a basic understanding of the technical diagram we will show you some useful tips about how to get started on your way to creating new sounds with the ES-8. Read more… As shown in the diagram below, the ES-8 has eight analog audio loops with send and return connections. Loops 1-6 are mono loops, while Loops 7 and 8 can be used with stereo pedals. The ES-8 lets you flex Your Routability, and makes it much easier for guitarists with lots of pedals to engage their effects, as they don't need to stretch their foot to the pedals further down the pedalboard. Read the above manual. I know some people hate it when people suggest this, but there’s a lot of good info in the manual. In the past I was too stubborn to read manuals and it caused more frustration than needed. Read the manual and it’ll make life a lot easier.

Warranty Info

With the ES8 you have eightdifferent pedal loops which you can plug any of your pedals into and then control later on through the ES8. So if you want to go from a clean channel with compression and reverb and change to your amps lead channel with an EQ pedal, reverb, delay and boost pedals,it only takes on switch press rather than five or more. The loops are controlled by an analog switch array that provides fast, flexible, and transparent switching. When a loop is not active, your guitar completely bypasses it for clear and pure signal transfer. Separate input and output buffers are available, and these can be switched on/off individually as needed.

Buffers can be turned on/off individually for the input and output and stored in each patch; level variability for output buffer Additionally, Amp 1 and Amp 2 can be mixed (OUT 1 & 2) to create a rich live performance sound similar to what is often achieved in studio recordings. The inclusion of the “Separate Loop” function can be found in many switching devices, however, in the ES-8, we have deliberately eliminated the need for this extraneous connection because it provides no extra benefit to the unique and comprehensive ES-8 design. In fact, the ES-8 was conceived with total integrated functionality in mind without the need for a detached independent output function. As a result, the eight plus one loops can be fully utilized in more flexible ways.En af ES-8'erens key features er dens innovative routing-fleksibilitet, der gør det muligt at bytte rundt på rækkefølgen på en række af effektpedaler. Dette giver professionelle guitarister mulighed for at få adgang til en bred vifte af effektkombinationer og giver dem total kreativ frihed til at få den lyd de ønsker. Derudover øger ES-8'erens funktion: parallel chain effektkombinationerne yderligere og øger derved de samlede lydmuligheder eksponentielt. Og hvad mere er, at alle disse programmerede konfigurationer kan gemmes og indlæses øjeblikkeligt under en livekoncert. ER DET IKKE PÅ TIDE DU BLEV CONNECTED?

Inoltre, abbiamo una libreria di Manuali dell'Utente e Documenti di Supporto che potete scaricare e consultare. Manuali d’uso The insert function allows rerouting of any of your effects at any time. If you want to move your reverb from last to first in your signal chain and add distortion then with the ES-8 this is now possible without unplugging patch cables and physically moving pedals around (usually in the dark!). The BOSS ES-8 is a revolutionary effects switching system that provides you with a host of often-requested features and functions. You have access to eight loops, allowing you to craft elaborate effects chains with unprecedented routing flexibility. The ES-8's onboard memory allows you to store 800 patches, along with external control parameters such as delay time for each patch. And best of all, the ES-8 utilizes an analog circuit to keep your tone clean and pure. If that wasn't enough, you also get switchable buffers, LCD and 7-segment LED displays, and completely customizable pedal function assignments! It goes without saying: the BOSS ES-8 effects switching system is going to become very popular here at Sweetwater!

Udover mulighed for routing og forbindelsesmuligheder, er der i ES-8 stor fokus på lydkvaliteten. Den er designet på en måde, der ikke påvirker lydkvaliteten og bibeholder din lyd ren og støjfri. Dette er opnået gennem omhyggeligt designet analoge kredsløb udviklet med know-how, erfaring og designekspertise fra enginørholdet fra BOSS. Og apropos lydens renhed så er ES-8 udstyret med input- og output buffers, der kan tændes og slukkes uafhængigt så de passer til enhver rig. PRO-LEVEL DESIGN DER HOLDER! ES-8 Effects Switching System har en ren og klar mission: at levere cool og kreative løsninger til pro og high-end brugere. Den nye og innovative ES-8 er et system, der tager dig et kæmpe skridt længere end de hjælpemidler der normalt er til rådighed for stompbox løsninger. Det er en hel ny måde at levere hidtil usete muligheder uden at gå på kompromis med lydkvaliteten. ES-8 kombinerer en fantastisk fleksibilitet med friheden til at udtrykke sig. Alt dette, i én, cool enhed. First, they allow you to use effects in a parallel fashion, blending them together instead of feeding one into the other. (Up to two parallel loops can be created using the onboard mixers.) This function lets you create mixed tones, such as clean blended with distortion. Secondly, the mixers allow for effects carryover when changing patches, which is particularly useful when working with delay and reverb effects. More than one effect can be connected in each single parallel chain. In other words, if you want to change between the clean and drive effects mentioned earlier, you plug all five pedals into the ES-8. Then you set up the compressor, analog delay, and phaser in one position. Finally, you set up the overdrive and octave pedals in another position. Now to switch between the two tones all you need to do is change between the two saved footswitches. In addition to routing capability and connectivity, the ES-8 pays particular attention to sound quality. It’s designed in a way that does not contribute to sound deterioration, keeping your tone pure and free of noise. These results are accomplished by carefully designed analog circuitry developed with the know-how, experience, and design expertise of the Boss engineering team. In further regard to tone pureness, the ES-8 is equipped with input and output buffers that can be turned on and off independently as needed to suit any rig. Pro-Level Design for Gig Durability

For starters, more stuff on your board means more stuff to go wrong. More stuff also means a bigger, heavier pedalboard. ES-8 kan virke uoverskuelig ved første øjekast. Men med en grundlæggende forståelse af den tekniske diagram vil vi vise dig nogle nyttige tips om, hvordan du kommer i gang med at skabe nye lyde med ES-8. Read more… Foot-Stomping Creativity. The ES-8 Effects Switching System begins life with a sharp and clear mission: to provide pro and high-end users with cool and creative solutions.In addition to plugging in up to 8 pedals to individually control, you’re also able to use expression pedals and external foot controllers. MIDI I/O allows you to control your MIDI pedals and save important details such as tempo to each patch. For example, if your delay pedal is MIDI compatible you can assign different tempos for different songs. Getting the most out of the BOSS ES-8 Buffers can be turned on/off individually each for input and output and stored in each patch; level variability for output buffer The ES-8 is a powerful and versatile effects switching system that gives you complete control over a pedalboard full of stomps. Going far beyond typical pedal-switching devices, the ES-8 harnesses BOSS’ decades of effects knowledge to fully maximize your sound-making capabilities using all types of effects, from vintage pedals to modern MIDI-controlled devices. The inclusion of the “Separate Loop” function can be found in many switching devices, however, in the ES-8, we have deliberately eliminated the need for this extraneous connection because it provides no extra benefit to the unique and comprehensive ES-8 design. In fact, the ES-8 was conceived with total integrated functionality in mind without the need for a detached independent output function. Here are four typical uses of the “Separate Loop” which are already accomplished with the ES-8 internal design: Extra Regular Effect Loop: The ES-8 Effects Switching System begins life with a sharp and clear mission: to provide pro and high-end users with cool and creative solutions.The new and innovative ES-8 is a system that represents a major leap “out of the box” from the standard individual stomp box utility. It is a whole new way of providing unprecedented capability without sacrificing sound quality. The ES-8 combines far-reaching flexibility with total freedom of expression.
