This came with a clip-on pre-amp and a pickup to amplify acoustic guitars. At this point the Boss company had not been formed and it was still a Beckmen Musical Instruments product (as seen on the B-100 box<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>). The first proper Boss foot pedal effect, the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, was released June 1976, which was a stand-alone unit of the chorus/vibrato circuit found in the Roland JC-120 amplifier.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> It was a fairly large, AC-powered unit. Other foot pedals of that year are the GE-10 (a graphic equalizer), the BF-1 (a flanger unit) and the DB-5 (a distortion unit). </p><p>Boss's line of compact pedals began in 1977 with the release of six pedals, all of them discontinued: an <a href="/wiki/Overdrive_(music)" class="mw-redirect" title="Overdrive (music)">overdrive</a> pedal (OD-1), a <a href="/wiki/Phaser_(effect)" title="Phaser (effect)">phaser</a> pedal (PH-1), a parametric equalizer called the Spectrum (SP-1), a 6-band graphic equalizer (GE-6), a compressor pedal (CS-1) and an automatic wah pedal (TW-1). The <a href="/wiki/Boss_DS-1" title="Boss DS-1">Boss DS-1</a> was released the next year, in 1978. Their first compact <a href="/wiki/Chorus_effect" class="mw-redirect" title="Chorus effect">chorus</a> pedal (CE-2) came in 1979, and their first <a href="/wiki/Flanging" title="Flanging">flanger</a> pedal (BF-2) in 1980. In 1983 Boss released the DD-2 Digital Delay, the first mass-produced digital delay in a compact pedal format. The Metal Zone (MT-2) was released in 1991. In 1992 Boss released nine new pedals, including the Turbo Distortion (DS-2). The <a href="/wiki/Boss_HM-2" title="Boss HM-2">Heavy Metal (HM-2)</a> distortion pedal was an integral part of the guitar sound of many styles of heavy metal music ever since.<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The pedals all share the same 'footprint', for compatibility with pedal boards. </p><p>Boss introduced COSM (Composite Object Sound Modeling), Roland's proprietary version of digital <a href="/wiki/Amplifier_modeling" title="Amplifier modeling">modeling</a> technology, into their AC-3 Acoustic Simulator pedal in 2006. Boss has since released several pedals using COSM, including the FBM-1 '59 Fender Bassman pedal and FDR-1 '65 Fender Deluxe Reverb pedal, introduced at the Winter NAMM show in January 2007. </p><p>All Boss compact pedals use a "buffered bypass" type of silent foot switching utilizing Field Effect Transistors (FETs) to avoid clicks and pops. While not "true" bypass, the buffered bypass has the advantage of preventing signal loss due to long runs of cable, while keeping original guitar tone intact.<sup id="cite_ref-GEOFEX_-_Ins_and_Outs_of_Effect_Bypassing_7-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-GEOFEX_-_Ins_and_Outs_of_Effect_Bypassing-7"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Japan,_Taiwan_and_Malaysia"><span id="Japan.2C_Taiwan_and_Malaysia"></span>Japan, Taiwan and Malaysia</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Boss_Corporation&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Japan, Taiwan and Malaysia"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:BossFX.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/BossFX.JPG/220px-BossFX.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="147" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/BossFX.JPG/330px-BossFX.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/c/c5/BossFX.JPG/440px-BossFX.JPG 2x" data-file-width="4272" data-file-height="2848" /></a><figcaption>BOSS effect pedals</figcaption></figure> <p>Boss compact pedals were originally produced in Japan, until circa 1990 when production moved to Taiwan. Earlier units came with a metal screw securing the battery compartment; later models retained the metal screw, adding a plastic knob for tool-less battery removal. The labels on the bottom of the pedals come in several different colours including black, silver, green, pink and blue. Apart from this the basic external design has remained unchanged for almost half a century. </p><p>The DS-1 Distortion circuit design has changed significantly twice throughout its lifetime; the first time was around 1994 when the Toshiba TA7136AP op-amp was replaced with a Rohm BA728N. In 2000 the op-amp was again changed. This time it was replaced with the Mitsubishi M5223AL. The latest op-amp change occurred in 2007, when new DS-1 pedals began shipping with the NJM3404AL op-amp. </p><p>In 2014, Boss released the Japanese-made "Waza-Craft" line of premium pedals, built with higher-end components featuring reissues of highly sought after vintage Boss effects such as the DM-2W Analog Delay, CE-2W Analog Chorus and DC-2W Dimension C. "Waza" means "art" and "technique" in Japanese.<sup id="cite_ref-8" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-8"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>8<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In 2017 Boss released the 500 series pedals as their flagship design, complete with digital display and preset banks, similar to the design of <a href="/wiki/Strymon_(company)" title="Strymon (company)">Strymon</a> pedals featuring presets, programmable algorithms and customizable midi options. </p><p>In 2019, Boss discontinued the twin format 20 series pedals and replaced the line with the 200 series.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>As of 2019 around the launch of the DD3T and DD8 Digital Delays, Boss moved production from Taiwan to Malaysia.
