Boss ES-8 Effects Switching System | Product Demo 

like :-)

You can get the es-5 now which is allot smaller but less loops

uuugh. what exactly do you mean by "not as flexible"? not as flexible as your boss gt100?? surely thats not what you mean. now...im positive you don't own a es8. now regardless if your friends told you boss cosm and modeling is totally awesome, but...um....yea. about as awesome as line 6 internal components 😁. when you play on genuine awesome pedal (not modeled ones) you will quickly throw that gt100 right in the trash believe me Fwiend, stuff your board with strymons, eventides, analogmans, etc... youll never go back to any modeled algorithms...and u will be off to get yourself an es8 as well. as far as versitility and its intended purpose youll be hard pressed to find anything better. does your gt100 accept 8 pedal inputs, with 2 stereo, integrated as a midi controller, give true analog signal, independent buffer control, change routing of effects in any way shape or form etc etc etc?? here lemme answer that. no. dont mean to b a douche. just find your comment a bit ridiculous, thsts all.

They look like pedal train risers and even if they arnt they are a good shout. And I would just say standard velcro for the upside and down. It's stronger than you think!

martin nitsch Yes, Boss call it the "Carry Over" function, and you have to enable it on the patch you are changing to.

odmsteel Yes the H9 is connected via MIDI. I am about to do a follow up video, I now have both the time factor and H9 connected via Midi, it awesome, stay tuned.

It s on the right side of the volume pefal

Abhishek Gaur Thanks, Fender American HSS Deluxe Strat and a Fender Vibro King.

Well unless you are running a pedal with two inputs and outputs and an amp with a selectable effects loop then no. Not realy and even then the pedal can only be in the front or the effects loop and the front at the same time

They look like George L's cable. They have lots of different colour cable and boots.

I used George L's right angle models - they are great.

scott berntstrom where did you get the colored jacks for the cables ?

Which ever you like. Bearing in mind if you have it in the effects loop then all pedals in the switcher will be in the loop aswell. Your choice

As long as your amp is midi compatible like a jvm for example.

You probably have it now! Did it work out?

Yes , all is good !

you can def do that. if boss didnt plan for that, it would the grandest failure ever lol. guitar--> input 1 output 1-->front end amp fx send from amp---> input 2 output 2---> fx return on amp. you can also change the order of all the pedals, activate individual buffer or go True bypass on each channel or loop through the menu function on es8. hope that helps. and you will fkin love this things cuz it also midi control your strymons, eventides, etc and not have to buy a seperate midi controller.

also if your using more pedals than available slots, youll be busy with trial and error. i go from output 1 of es8 to input on my compressor which i barely ever use -->isp theta preamp/hi gain dist--> to front end amp. then input/output 2 sync with amp send/return fx loop. there are tons of diff possibilities and options for routing. you will b a busy bee testing what works best for you. if you dont have more thsn 8 pedals...your good to go! ok im done rambling now

+winston c Thank you so much for your detailed replies my friend, very helpful! :) The temptation to buy one of these is even higher for me now! XD

i think its even more than 128. i think its 128 per bank

Make a cable with the sleeve conductor cut, and use that for either your amp send cable or your amp return cable. Both the send and return cables sleeve conductor (not center conductor) connect to the amp chassis and the es-8 chassis. They create a ground loop, and only one sleeve conductor is required.

It DOES do amp channel switching, check out page 15 of the ES-8 pdf manual

Just put the switcher in the effects loop.easey peasy

Edmar Olympio Im about to do another video, hopefully I can address this some more for you. Each of your MIDI devices need to be on a separate MIDI channel, eg. Channel 1 for the Marshall, Channel 2 for the TC, Channel 3 for the Korg.

I tried all and nothing. I did everything the manual say and nothing.

If you can send for me step by step.....?

+Edmar Olympio thats a loooooot of time and effort your asking for there chief. maybe if you make a contribution to his campaign, he might just do it lol...this ones on me... 1) there are a billion videos on your tube about midi. anything you want him to make, is already out there. 2) understanding and setting up midi, is going to take many many hours, its not learning how go use an effects loop 3) search eventides website, which has great videos on how to connect multiple midi devices, setting your master controller, correct cable hookups, correct routing of midi signal, channels etc. after watching those youlll have a much better understanding and general idea of what and how. 4) you are not getting midi to work, because you perceive it as plug n play setup...not even close. 5) research, reasearch, research. ive spent many months taking in one piece at a time. your road will require the same effort. the info is right here on youtube. your going to get out, what you put in....how much time beyond looking at the boss manual have you put in educating yourself on midi? im gonna go out on a limb, and prolly say not much. 6) you bought that es8 for 700 bones....get off that keyboard and pick up that tele....get boss customer/tech support on the phone and tell your rep you need help setting up midi comms on your amp/es8....u paid good money..make sure you use that tech support. it will be like your own personal assistant or midi teacher. 7) follow my step by step tutorial on utilizing resources and exercise that brain...you will become the next midi master....and perhaps it will be you making the video :)

+Winston C Great advise !

Bio NLP They are George L's cables and can be cut to specific lengths of your choice.

If you put the entire switcher in the effects loop then yeah I guess so

Yes you can and no you don’t have to put the entire switcher in the effects loop

@@siddcoutto oh I didn't know! How do you do that?

nataroonytron time www.boss.info/global/promos/es-8_deep_dive/#a3

@@siddcoutto thank you very much I think I understand now

I also have the same question.

Hi @karniboy - it does have a buffer in every loop, however you can turn this off in the settings! hope this helped.

Yes

Yes, the pedals still need to be powered.

yes,,, whats the name of the song?

Thanks for the feedback Andre! You're right. The ES-8 is not for everyone. But it's definitely a problem solver, and a tone improving tool as well.

Don't be silly, Kemper rules today, with the KPA+ foot controller you never need anything else.

Yup
