I cannot remember where I read this review of a Boss pedal, it was either Musicians Friend or Harmony Central, but I wish I could remember so I could have cut and paste the exact quote. But in a review about a Boss compact pedal, someone wrote their only complaint was changing the battery. They said you had to unscrew the 2 screws on each side of the pedal, and then the 3rd screw at the bottom of the pedal.

WTF?

I guess all these years I have been replacing batteries in my Boss pedals incorrectly cause I only unscrew the 1 screw at the bottom. Have I voided my warranty now?

you mean you DONT have to unscrew the 4 screws, take off the back plate, and lift up the board to change the battery?

Battery?
What Battery?
I thought these things were disposable, when they stop working you just get a new one.

the only word that springs to mind is ....muppets...to quote the legend that is joe walsh..� � � � �

How long have you been using BOSS pedals?

A long time.... See, I�m from the analog days, and I�m fond of stuff with knobs. I had an old EchoPlex, and I loved that thing. Got more girls with that than anything else I used at the time [laughs]. I ended up with BOSS because it�s real logical to chain �em together and be organized. And, you can beat �em up. That�s the other thing I always liked about �em. You can spill beer in �em and kick �em down the stairs and they�ll still work [laughs].

I like BOSS �cause it�s user-friendly stuff. With so much other gear, you�ve gotta go back to college to learn the manual, and it does a bunch of sh*t that ... why in the world would anybody wanna do that?

BOSS takes pride in the fact that its engineers are also passionate guitarists.

And it shows �cause the stuff is so user friendly


and to quote franzoni...'user friendly and boss says it all.'

I would have thought that after a couple of battery changes this person would be looking to use an AC adaptor. Of course they may not have been sure if they could just plug it in the back or if they had to pull off the back plate and solder some wires.

Beats 3 screws!
