Boss MD-500 Modulation Effect Pedal

MONSTER MOD MACHINE

Powered by advanced BOSS technology, the ultra-versatile MD-500 delivers nearly any type of modulation effect a musician could want, and then some. Included are 28 different algorithms with intensive programming parameters, offering a nearly limitless sound palette to create with. And with class-defying 32-bit AD/DA, 32-bit floating point processing, and 96 kHz sampling rate throughout, you’ll enjoy pristine sound quality that extends beyond the capabilities of the very best studio hardware.

Effects in the Boss modulation pedal include many new Prime types developed with cutting-edge BOSS tech, plus authentic sonic recreations of vintage classics like the CE-1 Chorus Ensemble, Roland Dimension D, ‘70s script phaser, ‘80s tri-chorus, and numerous others. With the ability to use two patches at once with A/B Simul mode, the Boss modulation pedal can likely cover all your mod needs with one convenient pedal. And by inserting drive pedals in the Boss guitar effect pedal's flexible external loop, it’s easy to place mod effects before, after, or around the loop as needed for the very best sound.
