About Boss

For many years, Boss has manufactured a wide range of guitar effects processing products, including "compact" and "dual" pedals, multi-effects units, electronic tuners, and pedalboards.

They now also produce solid-state amplifiers and speaker heads such as the Waza and Katana series. Both series feature multi-effects units designed to emulate classic Boss pedal effects.
