I wasn’t a boss fan when I was a kid “it’s too popular” fast forward 25 years I’m now kicking myself. As a gigging musician i need pedals that last forever. boss pedals are virtually indestructible and are fairly affordable too! Everyone buy an rv-6 , you won’t be disappointed.

Oh man having the looper in back would drive me nuts hehe but that's just me and I loop a lot. Amazing set of pedals you've got there. Boss products are amazing. Playing sounds great too.
The eq is there because i use it to shape de tone of distorsions.Of course can be used before the dist.if you want to sculpt the fundamental guitar tone before any other effect touches it.
