Boss ES-5 Effects Switching System

The ES-5 is pared down version of the ES-8 and offers more practical and essential use options for typical guitarists and bassists. It is drastically reduced in size to fit ready-made, standard-size boards. The innovation in creativity of pedalboard systems made possible by the ES-8 has become more available and affordable. 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.
