Expand your board just by one size and incorporate the ES-5, Then you are in for a whole new world of musical expression, not just another Utility tool.

Since late 2017 this has been my go to pedal switcher and it still looks like its brand new. This thing can run a simple set up to some of the most complex rigs out there. For a basic switcher it can be very straight forward but that's not why you buy this. This is for if you want to start placing pedals in different orders on the fly, using midi channel switching, doing channel switching for different amps and running a stereo rig. That being said you and the owners manual and YouTube probably some Google will become best friends.Check out all the videos on YouTube you will be surprised at all this thing can do.Don't make my mistake!On the back where all the patch cables go you will need to use straight plugs or just 90's on the bottom row. I made the mistake and ran 90's for most of it and I have a big ball of wires sticking up at the one end. 100% my mistake but at the time I needed to get this running and didn't have time to wait for new connectors to come. Here we are almost 6 years later and I still have not ordered a new patch cable kit (not fixing what isn't broken)Like anything Boss makes this is over built and will service even the roughest of pedal stompers out there. I have no issues with noise. Never has it lost its settings like some models out there from other companies. Over all if you have a big board and tired of the pedal tap dance this is a great switcher to check out.

Tienes una super computadora en tus pies, si ya has usado algún multiefectos boss, se te hara intuitiva la interfaz y la manera de hacer presets, en todo caso, viene con un manual que de igual manera te explica facilmente todo!
Sin duda alguna vale cada centavo, su construccion, no quita nada nada de tono y lo mejor es que deja cambiar la secuencia de los pedales, el orden de cual va primero o ultimo sin necesidad de desconectar y conectar pedales para hacerlo

Reviewed in Germany on November 16, 2022
Wer Midi-Pedale nutzen will und umfangreiche Einstellmöglichkeiten braucht, kommt an einem solchen Switcher nicht vorbei. Das Boss ES-8 ist dabei extrem vielfältig und bringt mit 8 Loops (davon 2 Stereo) alles mit, was ich benötige.

Ich nutze es mit der 4-Kabel Methode im FX Loop meines Engl Amps und bin bisher mit keinerlei Macken konfrontiert worden. Das Menü ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig und wie man es von Boss gewöhnt ist, nicht immer selbsterklärend. Aber wenn man die wichtigsten Funktionsweisen und Menüpunkte gefunden und verstanden hat, geht die Programmierung problemlos von statten.

Ein Manko, was mich etwas stört, sind die sehr nah aneinander liegenden In- und Outputs. Da muss man schon schauen, dass man keine zu dicken Kabelstecker verwendet.

Dennoch eine Empfehlung von mir.

Un buen switcher para poder cambiar entre varios efectos con una sola pulsación. Fácil manejo y buena construcción. Pensé en ir por su hermano mayor, el ES-8, pero el ES-5 me es suficiente. Si no usas demasiados loops es una buena solución. Si en cambio usas muchos pedales, mejor ir por el ES-8. Compra recomendada

Just received it today!
Came packed well
I got it from panoply Digital @ ₹ 67000.
However it may take some time for me to use this to its full potential. The learning curve is huge.
