The Boss ES-5 ES-5 Effects Switching System is an analogue switching system for up to 5 loops protecting your tone quality and maximising the sonic potential of your effects pedals.
Based on the same concept and features as the flagship ES-8, the ES-5 is pared down to offer more practical and essential use options for typical guitarists and bassists, and is drastically reduced in size to fit ready-made, standard-size boards. The innovation in creativity of pedalboard systems made possible by the ES-8 has become more available and affordable. Expand your board just by one size and incorporate the ES-5 and you’ll be in for a whole new world of musical expression, not just another utility tool.
