The BOSS ES-5, inspired by the flagship ES-8, is tailored for typical guitarists and bassists. It offers practical and essential use options and is compact enough to fit standard-size boards. Thanks to the ES-8's innovation, this system is now more accessible and affordable. Adding the ES-5 to your board unlocks a new realm of musical expression, not just a simple tool. Key features include a programmable five-loop switching system, an analog circuit for pure tone, flexible routing with order change and parallel chain creation, saving external control parameters per patch, individual buffer on/off for input and output with variable output buffer level, reliable footswitches with mute capability, a backlit LCD for quick info, 200 patch memories for gigging musicians, and fully customizable pedal functions. It combines pro-level practicality and creativity in a small package.


Using the BOSS ES-5 is easy. First, connect your guitar or bass to the input. Then, connect your effects pedals to the five loops of the switching system. You can program the system to switch between different effects and create your own unique setups. To save a patch, just press the appropriate buttons and follow the on - screen prompts. When using the footswitches, remember that they are designed to be reliable and have a switch - noise mute feature. For maintenance, keep the ES - 5 in a dry and clean place. Avoid exposing it to extreme temperatures or humidity. If you need to clean it, use a soft, dry cloth. Also, make sure to use the correct power supply to avoid any damage.
