Boss Review: CS-3 Compression/Sustainer

History:

Purchase: i bought this for about $85.00 from Guitar Center..i bought it cause i THOUGHT it would be useful once i messed around with it...

What I Like About This Boss CS-3 Compression/Sustainer: hmm....have to think about this one....its good for playing a lot of legato..but thats about it....oh, and i guess if you like a low signal then its good for that....

What I Do NOT Like About The Boss CS-3 Compression/Sustainer: Basicly the fact that i bought it pisses me off...i rarely play legato, and i like my pickups with a nice hot output so this thing does nothing for me but waste my money......i want it gone soon....

Boss CS-3 Compression/Sustainer Quality Rating: Well BOSS effects are tough as hell...but i dont know about the quality of this perticular one..ive found no good enough use for it...

Review Summary: If your thinking of a compression pedal..rethink it...wait and maybe consider it as some rack gear, but otherwise dont waste your money, you will be disappointed, you will have more fun with some modulation effects, such as a flanger : )

Rating of this Boss product: 2
