If lost or stolen, I'd get another. Period!

I am a gear hound, and I have had 3 of these in the past, present, and will probably end up with one again in the future. There is not much I can say that others haven't already said. I can tell you that Boss made this pedal to take abuse, like a sausage patty. I run this through the loop and the other pedals in front, as this pedal can be rather brighter than other pedals, depending where it is set. I set mine at 12:00 on all 3 knobs, so running it through the loop will tame the sound a bit better depending on your loop system/amp. I use an original 5150 block letter head and it works well for me this way. Sure, there are other more expensive pedals that claim to do this or that, but overall, this pedals suits the needs for live or rehearsal situations and wont break the bank. Read, research, listen to the video samples, etc. 1st, and if you are still not happy after your purchase, then resell it, as these will hold their value quite well. I have been playing for 35+ years, mostly rock/blues and I always end up coming back to this model.Read full review
