Putting BOSS Pedals To The Test In New BOSS vs. Campaign


Roland's BOSS pedals have the reputation of being tough.  In an attempt to test their durability and tensile strength, Roland has created an innovative test to put them through.  Called 'BOSS vs.' (versus), this campaign goes above and beyond to prove to musicians that BOSS pedals have what it takes to endure the most challenging atmospheres and thereby be the best product any musician can use to accompany them.

So, what will the BOSS pedals survive?  The answer is right here ...

Thus far, they have put boss pedals against Ice/Gravity, Paint and a Mega Slingshot.  They will be coming with such adversaries every week!

Follow us as each week, we put BOSS pedals up against yet another adversary. Will BOSS win? The only way to find out is to watch!  Got a BOSS survival story of your own? Email us at bossvs@roland.ca and let us know!

BOSS vs. MEGA SLINGSHOT

It’s a bird.. it’s a plane… it’s a BOSS DS-1? Yes, that’s right. We put a DS-1 in a slingshot. Not just any slingshot, this is BOSS vs. people! This sucker takes three burly men to operate! Now close your eyes and imagine just how far that DS-1 flew. Wait, did you seriously just do that?? Umm, cause you can just watch the video instead…

BOSS vs. Paint

For round two of BOSS vs., we took a BOSS TR-2 Tremolo, put it in a can of paint and let’er ride for 2 minutes in a paint can shaker. The result? Watch and find out!
Please, do not try this at home. We had Ross, professional paint dude. Without him, none of this would be possible.

BOSS vs. Ice/Gravity

In the inaugural video of the BOSS vs. series, we’ve taken the classic BOSS Compact Pedal – the DS-1 Distortion Pedal – encased it in a large block of ice, and thrown it off the roof of Roland Canada’s headquarters.

I don't see the point or fun in those stunts! I would rather see tests made on the pedal switch with a machine that would actuate it a million times.

As for the paint thing, if it's water-based paint we only need to rinse the pedal with water, blow dry, and voilà!
