Boss MS3

A new release, looks good. I can see using it with two tech21 character pedals to go direct live. Haven't checked the price, if it's around $200 then its great.

$399 I believe.

It's interesting if you like Boss digital effects and want a few of of your own drive pedals, along with MIDI and patch switching for your amps or other effects. (Boss Delays and reverbs are quite good, and the digital chorus, flanger and phaser are selling, so it makes sense)

Re: Boss MS3

From what I gather from the specs, no delay or reverb spillover when switching oatches. That's a big NO-NO for me.

Strange, if oone considers the Boss had that technology enabled on older effects units.

Too bad for the brand, when I see the previews I thought this could rival the Line 6 M13, while allowing more simultaneous effects...

Re: Boss MS3

$400 is high, no spillover for delay/reverb also makes it less interesting to me cause they could have utilised the old processor from gt10, if built in amp modelling is out that would leave a lot more room for spillover

It looked good in the vids/pics though, kinda cool but not sure about it now.

We have exactly the same doubts about this product. Since I'm not tech-savvy, I don't know if the spillover feature could be implemented via an firmware update, or if it's a hardware thing...

Each passing day I'm leaning towards a Line6 Helix LT as an effects board for my amp via 4CM.
