Complete Boss pedal collection.

[surfergirl]

$74,999.99 on Reverb, it does include the boxes.

[KuruPrionz]

146 pedals but it isn't the complete Boss pedal collection. This is a Boss pedal and there are others. 

I own this one, I like it. Fewer cords needed and stereo outputs. Many of the great Boss effects all crammed into one box.

 

[Larryz]

I counted about 146 pedals +/-.  At an average of $50 buck each, it would come to $7,300.  At an average of a $100 bucks each, it would come to $14,600.  At an average of $200 bucks each, it would come to $29,200.  I think $75,000 is a bit overpriced LoL!  😎

Anna and I decided that we would save our tips to buy it. We made $53 today, only 1415 more sessions. At 3 times a week we will have it in 472 weeks.

Be sure to budget for 2 long cords and 144 short cords, plus 146 power supplies. I would add at least six weeks to your total. 😁

And your set-up time.


I don't think that's "complete"- I suspect that there are plenty of Boss pedals that aren't there. I don't think that there's a Boss RT-20 among hem (I've gotten LOTS and LOTS of great use out of mine over the years!), someone correct me if I'm wrong...

[Winston Psmith]

It also lacks some of the alternate model #'s, and even color schemes, of the "complete" collection.

 

OTOH, it doesn't claim to be a complete collection of Boss products, which would include the twin pedals, like @Caevan O’Shite's RT-20, or the ME-80 that @KuruPrionz showed us. I have five different Boss MFX Pedalboards, and three Delay pedals that don't show up in that collection, either.

 

As to value, or pricing, some of those Boss pedals are collecting absurd prices for original "vintage" models, like the Slow Gear; those are listing for somewhere between $600US and $800US on reverb. Not suggesting the whole lot is really worth $73,000, but, for some rabid collectors, being able to buy up the entire lot at once, instead of hunting down individual pedals, might be an incentive to just buy the whole thing, and maybe sell off any duplicates?

You should be able to daisy chain 5 pedals per One Spot and get by on 29 power supplies at $26 each (with daisy cords) add about $759 to the order...

People with that much money to spare did not accrue that much spare change by being stupid.

I'll always have a fierce love for Boss, because plugging my first Moog synth into a delay pedal brought it to life in a big, BIG way. I was bummed to realize what MONO-synth meant, but that took a ton of the butt-hurt out of things. I bought many of their pedals and three half-racks until I got to the 19" goods, learning a lot about effects along the way. As I grew into using a DAW, I sweetened my gradual synth sales with many of those same pedals. Over time, I've owned three Boss logo t-shirts until my nipples wore holes in 'em!

The ad says "Complete Boss Compact Pedal Collection" 

 

Rather than wanting each one to use, I suspect at some point the seller decided to acquire every Boss pedal just to know they acquired every Boss pedal.

 

Maybe Wilt Chamberlain could work a pedalboard of 146(?) pedals.  He was a giant. The hoop is 10 feet above the floor of an NBA court. He could not fit in a taxi and had to hang his legs out the window.

The effects for synthesizers seem to have less background noise. Guitar pedals have always seemed relatively noisy. I have a Neo Ventilator I have barely used because I love the effect but the noise is too much when using software and headphones. Of course it is also the single coil pickups on the guitar I use most.

 

Years ago when everything was analog and non-virtual I briefly had a flanger. I quickly tired of the effect and sold it to an electric violin player. He was looking to sound spacier. He already had a phase shifter. He eventually determined that the two effects were similar and one just cancelled out the other, meaning one took over from the other and they did not really blend. However, a friend of mine hooked up the flanger and a phase shifter to his guitar and showed how the result of the combo was what David Gilmour had used on Animals, Pigs (Three Different Ones). It is very distinct. The amp and pickups can alter how an effect sounds, at least with modulation effects. Nowadays there are many variations of modulation. The phase shifter was the MXR Phase 90 and the flanger was the EH Electric Mistress.

 

IMO, for spacey you have to involve echo/delay. Instead of the PS and flanger a Univibe would have been much better. Also, a Leslie speaker emulator (not yet invented in a pedal at that time) sounds meaner IMO.

 

Of all effects, modulation may be burdened the most with an era. The Leslie speaker cabinet with guitar was not widely utilized but it is associated with the 70's. In an attempt to get that in a convenient pedal format the Univibe was born. That also is associated with the 70's. Then came phase shifters and flangers. Most recently they finally got a convincing Leslie speaker effect in a pedal form. The associated era has been diluted as all of these pedals have come into use in recent years. Today you can almost get away with using a Univibe and not immediately invoke images of Jimmy Hendrix depending on the other effects, amp, pickups and what you play.

9 years (472 weeks) doesn't take as long as it does when it begins. As time passes it speeds up. The last 9 years went faster than the 9 before that. When I reached 9 years old, that first 9 years felt like it took my whole life to get to and it actually did.

 

1415 "sessions," are you a session musician? A massage therapist by day? "Tips" hmm. A tattoo artist?

What a stupid question. 

Session: A meeting or time devoted to a particular activity. Surfing is a session and busking is a session. Neither my 14 year old half sister nor I are massage therapist. Not all Filipinas are massage therapist, that's just a fantasy.

What is this the opportunity you have been waiting for to release saved up rage towards me for calling you out on your wise crack comment a while back?

 

It was a serious question. I don't associate anything negative with any of those sessions. I know the definition of session however the context in which the word is used and more importantly in this case NOT used makes a big difference.

 

I have never heard anyone refer to surfing using "session." I have several friends and coworkers who are surfers. I don't surf myself. I never learned to swim. However I enjoy hearing about it. I live in a surfer's beach town called Santa Cruz, California in the USA, the home of Jack O'Neill. From my limited perspective surfing and the sensation of it reminds me of snow skiing. Once I discovered it I never wanted to give it up.

 

I have no idea what race you are. I don't care. I just believe you live in Hawaii based on your moniker location. Obviously you have a problem being Filipina and that is YOURS not everyone's. You are not the center of the universe. If you believe you are somehow attractive to me and that I would fantasize about you in any way you are mistaken. I don't think of your gender at all.  

 

As for the "sessions" I mentioned, I have encountered just as many males as females in each of those forms of sessions. Why not object to tattoo artist and session musician instead of focusing on massage therapist? Do you feel empowered by the opportunity to accuse people of stereotyping you? In my life massage therapist are good people. I have been around psychics and healers and "New Age types most of my life. My wife was a channeler before she died. The GF before her was a pro psychic. My friends have been psychic. I have known many massage therapists. None have been sex workers as you seem to believe they are.

Which isn't worth a dime compared to a number of vastly superior pedals that will do the same effect but considerably better, and more! You couldn't give me an SG-2 for free, I wouldn't want the overrated turd and I'd feel guilty if I sold it or even gave it to anyone!

Yeah, ya got me there. Don't confuse me with the facts.   

[surfergirl]

Trying to determine how many boards you would need. The largest pedaltrain is 24" by 17.5. Each board would hold 24 pedals. Would need 6 boards and 12 12 output power source. You Still have 2 pedals left. There maybe larger pedal boards and power supplies, I'm not sure.

Modulation effects like the Leslie speaker, Univibe, phase shifters, and flangers are often linked to specific eras, notably the 70s. However, advancements in pedal technology have made these effects more accessible and versatile today.

Just imagining the ground noise and calculating power consumption sends my early morning head into a spin… And makes for chain optimization hell. Although the whole project feels like a fantastic idea!!! 
 

Put them all in-line 🫣

I have 2 Pedaltrain Pros (don't ask . . .) and they come in at 32 inches.

 

Doing a quick layout check here, even with flat-head cables connecting the pedals, it would be an effort to get 20 compact Boss pedals on one Pedaltrain Pro. I can comfortably get 9 pedals side by side, with connecting cables.

 

Late edit - This might be more helpful, a photo of a Pedaltrain Novo 24 where I staggered the bottom row of pedals to make more room. I managed to get 13 pedals on the board, arranged this way. FWIW, most of these pedals are right around the size of a Boss compact pedal, enough to make a good representation.

 

 

[surfergirl]

Multiplying 2.87 in my head didn't work. 6 across, maybe 7, on a 24" wide board. I have 5 on my 22" and have room for 1 more. I didn't see that 32" when I looked the first time.

Transportation, may need one of these.

[Larryz]

146 pedals divided by 13 pedals each = 11.2 pedal boards...😎

[hurricane hugo]

I wonder if these are in some sort of chronological order; I see some old models in that bottom (front?) row, specifically the flanger and eq at bottom right, which a friend had around 1984 or so.

It doesn't appear so, not altogether. The three on the bottom left are Boss' original "Traffic Light" series, the Spectrum (I think it was the SP-1?), the OD-1, and the Phaser, the oldest of Boss' compact pedals. Way up in the uppermost corners, right and left, there are two PSM-5 Power Supply/Master Switches, with their boxes, mid-80's vintage. They were meant to work in Boss' BCB-6 molded plastic Pedalboard/Carrying Case. I had one back then, to go with my BCB-6. It powered 5 Boss compact pedals, and doubled as a sort of Master Bypass, where you could stomp on it and bypass, or engage, the Pedalboard.

 

There are a few others that look like they're out of place, if it were meant to be a chronological line-up, like the deep red XT-2 Xtortion on the left-hand edge, with a Fuzz above it and next to it, but all in all, it's hard to be sure with the scale of the photo, and the glare on some of the pedals?

[RABid]

I don't see the Boss Limited-edition 50th-anniversary trio.

How long are you going to keep this alive? While you are at it try researching what you are talking about? You are trying to make this look like something it isn't. I was asking a sincere question. Stop trying to make things worse.

It takes no research to see that there was no "rage" there, or that your posts that I cited from this thread- picking on someone for using the word ":sessions" and nattering on about it- are asinine. Don't be a jerk.

Of course you will deny and refuse to see what does not support your effort to make this worse. I took Craig's word for her behavior at that time and since then approached her letting that incident go. Now YOU need to stop adding fuel to this.
