This pedal was produced by Boss from 1992 to 1996. Does anyone have any experience with one of these?

    I tried one once. From memory, it’s a very standard Cry Baby type wah with a peak depth control and standard Boss buffered switching. Quite decent but not very characterful - I don’t think it exactly set the world on fire, hence the fairly short production run. Wahs are one of the things Boss just don’t seem to be able to get right...

    Also physically large, which might matter on a pedalboard.

  • I bought one anyway. It's seems to be in quite good condition, and I think it was a bargain for the price I paid (£20). I'll describe it when I've tried it!

  • Keep the opinions coming though, it's interesting to hear some other views!

  • The pedal has arrived. It is built like a tank, like most Boss pedals. I'm really happy with the sound of it.
