Boss

In the current JustPedals catalogue, Boss is represented by Multi-Effects Pedals, Delay Pedals and Distortion Pedals. Current listings include PW-3 Wah, PX-1 Plugout FX and FZ-5 Fuzz. That makes the range relevant to players looking for drive, gain and clipping, plus time-based effects and ambience. Check each model for its exact circuit or processing platform, controls, power requirements and connections, particularly where the catalogue includes both pedals and supporting gear.

Category

Synth Pedals

Synth pedals convert an instrument signal into synthesised tones, filtered waveforms or layered electronic voices. Tracking, input range, envelope response, oscillator choice, filter, resonance and blend determine how closely the result follows the playing. Some designs need clean monophonic notes, while others handle chords or provide MIDI and USB control. Check latency, pickup compatibility, dry-signal routing and the position of the pedal relative to compression and distortion, because unstable or heavily processed input can change the response dramatically.

Tags

Acoustic

Acoustic products are designed or voiced for acoustic instruments, including piezo, magnetic and microphone-based sources. Input impedance, body resonance, attack, EQ, compression, ambience and feedback control can all affect the result. Check whether the product is intended for acoustic guitar, another stringed instrument or general use, and confirm the connection, power and output format before placing it into a live PA or recording chain.

Bass

Bass products are designed or voiced to retain low-frequency information and usable headroom with bass guitar or other low-register sources. Controls may centre on clean blend, low-end EQ, compression, crossover points or drive character. A guitar pedal can sometimes work well on bass, but it may remove the fundamental or compress the transient. Check the frequency response, input impedance, output level and dry-signal path with the intended tuning and amplifier.
