Boss Announces the 200 Pedal Series
Boss has introduced the 200 Series of pedals, which they call a “new generation of pedals delivering advanced sound and versatility in a streamlined footprint.” The four new pedals include the DD-200 Digital Delay, the EQ-200 Graphic Equalizer, the MD-200 Modulation, and the OD-200 Hybrid Drive.
Each unit utilizes 32-bit AD/DA, 32-bit internal processing, and 96 kHz sampling rate. They also have support for further control with eternal switches, an expression pedal, or MIDI. “Grab-and-go controls and multi-function footswitches make operation fast and intuitive, while onboard memories allow users to store multiple setups for instant recall,” the company adds.
The DD-200 is modeled after the sounds from Boss’s DD-500 but in a smaller housing. It has twelve modes of delay from modern digital to classic analog sounds. An independent looper lets you expand your palette while a selectable carryover function lets you transition between memories.
The EQ-200 is designed for guitar, bass, and more with a 10-band graphic EQ. Its channels can be configured for stereo, parallel, or series operation while allowing for patching external pedals for pre and post EQ shaping. Each of the 10 frequency centers can be set between three frequencies for more versatility.
Offering 12 modes to choose from, the MD-200 has controls for rate, depth, and level as well as up to three parameters for each mode. It also has an insert function to let you patch in a pedal pre or post effect.
Finally, the OD-200 has 12 modes of drive with “hybrid analog/digital circuitry, [a] three-band EQ, and powerful pre- and post-boosts for detailed gain shaping.” Boss also fits it with a built-in noise gate for cleaning up your sound.
Each of the Boss 200 Series pedals carries a street price of $249.99.
