Shame the old one gave up the ghost
At jams I often use a standalone Boss CS3 which was modded by Gojirosan off the Intermusic forums with a noise-suppressor circuit added in.
You're right, I have no control over the volume from the guitar when using the compressor, as the input signal will just be boosted to the output level by the CS3 with added noise if I lower the guitar's volume. So I use a volume pedal last thing before the amp.
Why did Boss never follow the same approach with their subsequent multi-fx units i.e. this one and the ME unit's fx sounded basically the same as the actual Boss pedals. I found that wasn't the case with the GT units (GT3 wasn't bad) and some were way off and frankly and not as good as the original pedal.
People still like these units and the ME-8B is quite a sought-after unit amongst the bass community.
