Boss CS-3

Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer

A staple of guitarists pedalboards for years, the Boss CS-3 has many uses; from compressing clean sounds for a crisp funky sound, through extending the sustain and attack of notes so that your lead sounds cut through the mix and stay there, to acting as a great boost pedal to overdrive your amp. The CS-3 also has a tone control to shape your sound and doesn’t produce too much hiss in the background.

As with all Boss Compacts, you can register online to increase your warranty to five years. They all feature very robust die cast metal construction to withstand years of use and can be powered either by a single 9V battery or a PSA-240 power supply.
