A rarely talked about feature of this unit is that most drive pedals have wet/dry blend aka ‘dumble sound’ ie clean pass through which combined with multiple gain pedals internal AND external parallel clean blending is just a wealth of drive sounds.
Interesting, Thanks! This would suit all my needs better, than my pedal board with 6 drive pedals (I only use 3 of them most of the time) and Boss GT-1. Boss delays and reverbs are great. -I have had GT-3 and GT-6 a decade ago.
Hi! I just got the MS3 a week ago. Played alive with it and loved the sound. I would like to know, if I can split two different distortions to two amplis? Example: Loop 1 - dist1 - amp1 Loop 2 - dist2 - amp2 I would like to switch one to another, like in stereo. Thanks in advance
Great idea for a pedal, and I can vouch for their fx engine because I own a gp-10 but I just couldn't justify the money for it. I don't know if I'm getting old or poor or what but you could get so much for the same money.
Does it suck tone like the Boss GT-100? I wasted 6 months on that thing and then went back to discrete pedals. When you adjust your guitar volume and tone knobs do you get interaction between the guitar and amp or does this device kill that in terms of tone control and gain rolloff with volume knob adjustment? When you change from one amp to another, do all the patches have to be re-adjusted to sound the same?
imho, best guitar multi-fx product by far in this price category ... basically an update of the Boss GT-100 with some new additional features and compact form factor taken from the Boss ES-5 \m/
I would love to add a Friedman BE-OD, Diezel VH-4 Pedal & Friedman Motor City Drive or Laney IRT-Pulse & Two Notes Torpedo CAB as an awesome little pedalboard setup \m/ ... partnered with the Orange Rocker 32 stereo combo would be totally killer \m/ .... although that's a ton of money spent on a bedroom setup, lol ... maybe I need to start a gofundme campaign, lol
Nice!! I have 2 questions: 1) Does it have the possibility to change the order of the loops like the ES8/ES5 do? if yes, can I route the Fx (even the loops) in parallel/series? 2) Is the audio path always converted in digital? like if everything is in bypass or I only use the 3 analog loops that I have?
Does it have tap tempo? And how do you use it with the effects loop of your amp? Maybe you put your preamp in one of the MS-3's loops and stick it first in the signal chain, would that work?
trevor deke bajus Usually 4 cable method refers to going into the pre amp of an amp and going out at the effects loop. I think yes the preamp can be in one of the loops of MS-3.
If your amp has a loop itself you can actually do that. Guitar > MS-3 Input, Amp Input > MS-3 Loop X Send, Amp Loop Send > MS-3 Loop Return, Amp Return > MS-3 Output and a cable for channel switching, the amps preamp sits between the amps input and loop send, the amps loop return goes to the powerstage. MS-3 Loop X needs of course always to be included in presets to use the amps preamp.
I'm sure they just put it in one of the loops for demo purposes, but wouldn't the Blues Driver (or any BOSS pedal) be loaded into the MS-3's 112 onboard effects already?
David LaValley the Blues Driver is available in the effects. I own the MS-3. It’s great, but decisions have to be made. Although you can place up to 9 effects (2 FX, 2 Mod, 3 pedal loops, delay, reverb) in the signal path, you can only turn on/off 4 items at a time. I use mine for modulation, delay, and reverb. I run drive pedals into the MS-3, and I’ve never used the loops.
Yes, I just run them into the MS-3 input and treat the MS-3 as if it were a batch of modulation, delay, and reverb pedals later in the chain. The loops move together; they can't be separated and assigned anywhere you want. All 3 loops run 1-2-3 in order, nothing can be inserted between the loops. Therefore, they work well with your drive pedals because the loops can be moved to the front of the MS-3 effects chain before the other effects, mods, delays, and reverbs. I'm thinking about putting my drives into the loops.
This seems like such a well thought out product except for one possible exception... There doesn't seem to be a way to daisy chain power out to the 3 external looped effects. Doh! How are people working around powering everything without multiple cords or batteries ?
Can you connect this using the 4 cable method? (To select which effects come before and after the amp). Also, can you run 2 of the same effect type in 1 bank? (As in run 2 built in delays or 2 built in reverbs- long and short)
Andy, I am interested in using this for a bass rig and was wondering if there was a way to route the Boss MS-3 Multi Effects Switcher through the effects loop of the amp for specific pedals (delay, revb, etc.)?
what a nice piece of gear, but i have a question, i currently have a bias rack unit, im looking foward to buy some effects and that stuff to make it more usable, is it possible to use the midi output to control the channel selector on the bias, and use the ms-3 in a 4 cable way to use a tube screamer i already have in front of the amp and the built in effects on the es3 on the effects loop? so when i play a solo i can step on the preset button and activate the tube screamer suposed to be in front and also the effects?
Hi! I´ve finally bought it, but I can´t adjust the whammy efect. What do I have to do? What´s the sequence? I also would like to use the expression pedal as a volume booster. How can I do it too? Thanks a lot!!!!!!!!!
why does it say you can only connect three pedals? if these are selectable loops/channels can't you chain a dozen pedals to one channel and a dozen to another etc?.. by stepping on the switch in a chain sure all of them would be on but you can still choose to kick off individual pedal.... right? or am I missing something
"but also gives you the option of integrating *up to three *of your personal favorite pedals within the MS-3 circuitry. This implies that it is limited to 3 pedals.
If you want to use it for switching individual pedals (the goal of the design), then "up to three" is an accurate statement. That being said, you have the freedom to do what you want!
Tue MS3 cuts off Delay and Reverb trails when you change presets. There is the curnum function that allows to have only two snapshots/scenes within one preset without cutting trails. But when you change the preset then trails are cut off again. Is there a way to create more than two snapshots (for ex example in manual mode)? Or is manual mode not able to simultaneously turn on and off multiple FX by the mere push of ONE button?
Great demo as always. Just wondering, if you had a pedal (a TS-808 for example) connected to one of the loops and you created a patch with no internal effects turned on, just the TS808 loop, would the signal path be analog the whole way through the MS-3 or is there still AD-DA conversion going on when internal effects are not in use? Cheers
So I get that it loops 3 pedals but is it still missing the key feature all these are missing??? A way to send the time based FX out to the amps FX loop separately! This seems to be like every boss multi pedal before it, Everything into the front of the amp!! Why?
As I understand it you can insert the loops anywhere you like in the chain so if your amp has a loop itself you can actually do that. Guitar > MS-3 Input, Amp Input > MS-3 Loop X Send, Amp Loop Send > MS-3 Loop Return, Amp Return > MS-3 Output and a cable for channel switching, the amps preamp sits between the amps input and loop send, the amps loop return goes to the powerstage. MS-3 Loop X needs of course always to be included in presets to use the amps preamp.
Probably not, but why would you want that built in? Usually loopers are far easier to use as standalone units - I use one for half my gigs, I'd never dream of using it built in to another pedal
whats old is new again, eh? check out the boat anchor known as the Boss ME-X for their first attempt at this format of multiple effects + multiple effects loops. time will tell
I think you'd be better off in any case finding a DI that you like, and install it last on your board. Not sure your thoughts on multi-effects, but in my experience they usually have one or two good ones, and 50 crappy ones. Why pay for a built in DI on this when 1) you might have one you love already (and I'm guessing you might, since you thought to ask about it) or 2) you might not want one, and don't want to pay for it. DIs are weird, like anything else. The only one I like that I have tried is the one that is built into my Peterson tuner. I hate if for tuning, oddly.
you can make one of the ¼ outputs into a DI with a TRS to XLR adaptor cable. That's what "Line Output" means. just turn down the gain all the way on the mixing board :)
I would rather kick in an extra 600 bucks and get a really good switcher like rjm pbc or g2 and be done with it, just my op but I hate most digital shit. some fx do sound good digital i will admit like delay/reverbs. I tried fractal but went back to my dual amp stereo setup, rjm pbc and some good analog pedals, done!
the effects on this thing sound pretty bad. actually most multi fx do imo. you might want to read up on rjm or g2. . some may not need the xtra but i do.I have never heard andy sound this bad before so i think it must be the unit.
You simply can't compare this with a G2/PBC, totally different price points and products. This is meant for beginners looking to build their first somewhat complex system, or maybe pros wanting a fly rig. What people also forget is that when you buy a big switcher you either have to solder your own cables (a lot of them), or buy expensive kits adding further costs. I've gone down that route and ended up with a huge board that I dread to carry anywhere. I'm ready to give this a go, as long as the delays/reverbs sounds good I'm in
I would never compare this to those and I doubt a pro flying in for a gig would show up with one of these..lol If I were you I would wait a few months, ebay will be flooded with them for half price.
I have a question I just got my ms3 I haven't had time yet to set it up but I use a peavey 6505mh and I use the dirty channel most of the time with a maxonod808 as a boost OK so sometimes I like to kick on a delay for lead stuff but it has to be in my fx loop or it sounds like crap. I wanna know is there a way to set certain fx in the effects loop of my amp or does this only output to the preamp? I know I should just wait till I get home and fiddle around with it but I'd hate to waste a bunch of time to find out it won't work like that
but it's still worth every penny don't get me wrong but I was originally just looking for a loop switcher like the joyo pxl live something that could switch amp channels and engage certain effects with the press of a button but bc of how this is a effects processor you can't run time based effects into it if you plan on using your high gain amp channel for your dirty tones which is very dissapointing for me but for most ppl that won't matter
OK so I just had an idea I wish I was home to test it out but what if I ran this whole system thru my effects loop what's the difference if it gets its signal from my guitar or the amp I hope it works... if it does work I'll be a very happy camper bc I'm mainly using it for its time based effects and switching capabilities so in theory it should work sorry for working this out on your video lmfao
There are several devices that have analog delays and taps. There are also a few boxes out there that give analog delay pedals taps. Just not one that works with the DM-2W
I'm sure it does its job... An advanced looper/switcher is fine for a pedalboard but I really don't need the digital effects...Although, it might sound good through my FRFR speaker.
13brenno13 Kind of a pointless reply. Reverb, delay, boost, phaser etc. are useless effects? If you've got the cash for boutique stand alone pedals, more power to you. Most of the rest of us don't.
Kinda redundant. It would be better if it was a 2 or 3 channel looper with midi and the typical es5/8 functions in a smaller footprint without the digital effects. It would cost less too(I'm sure it's expensive). Example : connect an H9 and a Brothers to a small switcher like this and you have endless possibilities in a small package.
it's pretty small as is. I don't think removing the effects would make it any smaller. I think it's a cool idea..put your dirt pedals in the loop because those are harder to emulate digitally. Then use the built in mod/delay/reverb effects for the rest. then you can set up complex presets with more than 3 effects at a time, all with a pretty small pedalboard
lose3111 I said removing the digital effects would make it cheaper not smaller. For the record I never said it wasn't cool but it's really similar to the es5 (without the built in effects).
Boss has long had these effects programmed. It's added value for them to include on what is essentially them paying for the hardware and manufactured unit. I think it's a pretty unique offering because if you have midi effects you really have TONS of options and you can built setlists well in advance.
That is literally some of the best tone, chord structure, and pedal use Andy's ever done. We love you man
Brilliant use of the MS-3 in the intro. A wonderful demonstration, Andy.
What a well rounded player. No flash just real good playing! I think this guy rocks.
Nice work Andy. Graham will be proud of that intro! Expect a guitar from me soon...
dude has the best licks and taste of tunes out of all these youtube salesmen
that octave fuzz holy moly

Love Boss products. Use alot of em myself, very high quality, have never been dissapointed with Boss Rock on 🎶🎸🎼🎵🤘
Wow blur way back machine .the bull horn era! Only Andy could pull this one off
Boss, please make one with 5 loops and i would buy it instantly !
Just get a remote loopy 2 by the gig rig and use the control outs on the ms 3, there’s your solution!
@@LiamHardyMusic genius
Hi!
I just got the MS3 a week ago. Played alive with it and loved the sound.
I would like to know, if I can split two different distortions to two amplis?
Example:
Loop 1 - dist1 - amp1
Loop 2 - dist2 - amp2

Thanks in advance
OILY WATER! YOU GOD!
I love that Andy played Oily Water by Blur for this one!
Cool demo, the built in effects sound just like my ME-50
whoa, had no idea it had internal effects !
I love the idea of the platform but it should have a boss phrase sampler built in. Boss would have nailed it.
...and I just ordered an es5 from you guys. 😆
Does it have tails or spillover when changing presets?
Don’t like multi effects, but the switching and midi I like. ES5 for me.
So it's kinda like a Boss ME-70 or something but for analog? I like my ME-70 though...
Great idea for a pedal, and I can vouch for their fx engine because I own a gp-10 but I just couldn't justify the money for it. I don't know if I'm getting old or poor or what but you could get so much for the same money.

i need this in my life
when you save the settings of the particular external pedal when saved to a patch?
Does it have tap tempo? And how do you use it with the effects loop of your amp? Maybe you put your preamp in one of the MS-3's loops and stick it first in the signal chain, would that work?
Can you use the one of the loops to run 4 cable method? If so I'm sold!
"4 cable method"? Do you mean stereo? If not, I am intrigued...

For simplicity sake, 3 pedals are mentioned (so you can switch them on individually). You can also use them as multi pedal chains, like you mentioned.
You're missing the point.
"but also gives you the option of integrating *up to three *of your personal favorite pedals within the MS-3 circuitry. This implies that it is limited to 3 pedals.
agreed... the "up to three" was in there twice and that is in the product posting as well.

Can you please tell me the patch used at 8:36 ? Appreciated
Yeah, top man, please help me, does the AC adapter work flexiv? 50-60Hz (110V / 220V)?
Could this handle and integrate midi amp channel switching on a Marshall JVM amp into the presets?
would there be a gap of silence when switching between patches on BOSS MS3?anyone knows?
4 cable method? How do i use my amps fx loop?
Does it have a looper?
Probably not, but why would you want that built in? Usually loopers are far easier to use as standalone units - I use one for half my gigs, I'd never dream of using it built in to another pedal
Do the built-in delays have time subdivision?
whats old is new again, eh? check out the boat anchor known as the Boss ME-X for their first attempt at this format of multiple effects + multiple effects loops.
time will tell
yeah, this is barely the same thing. quit trying to flex nuts.
Oily water!!
what is the compressor option based on, the cs3 or the cp1x?
Hello. How many banks can we use in this device?
dammit i just bought a tera echo and now i find out this already has it
Dammit!
7:33 Miku patch
How is this different from the GT100, in new guitar players terms please :)
What's the song Andy is playing at 3:36
Where is the MIDI IN? Cool but, having a MIDI IN you could of used a MIDI controller to switch presets better.
King Gizzard at 4:17??
Too hard you the man
*Whats the song he plays at **3:47*
This is advertised for both guitar and bass and includes bass patches....however, the unit doesn't have a DI out?
People didn't have that sort of built in functionality for years. It'll still work!
I think you'd be better off in any case finding a DI that you like, and install it last on your board. Not sure your thoughts on multi-effects, but in my experience they usually have one or two good ones, and 50 crappy ones.

DIs are weird, like anything else. The only one I like that I have tried is the one that is built into my Peterson tuner. I hate if for tuning, oddly.
you can make one of the ¼ outputs into a DI with a TRS to XLR adaptor cable. That's what "Line Output" means. just turn down the gain all the way on the mixing board :)
That is a great suggestion!
Well, I'm pretty sure "line out" means more than just slapping an XLR on it.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_level
do you know when is it coming out
thanks
I would rather kick in an extra 600 bucks and get a really good switcher like rjm pbc or g2 and be done with it, just my op but I hate most digital shit. some fx do sound good digital i will admit like delay/reverbs.

No midi in? Nooooo
Is the Terra Echo a patch or was it just off screen?
It's a patch.
Man, if the tap tempo on this worked on the Boss DM-2W, I'd buy one in a second.
DM-2 is analog, right? no tap tempo. This probably has a good analog delay effect with tap tempo built in.
There are several devices that have analog delays and taps. There are also a few boxes out there that give analog delay pedals taps. Just not one that works with the DM-2W
Trevor, the boss dm-2w dont have a tap tempo input, but ms-3 does have a cltr out that can control tap tempos on other pedals.
what's the song. I can't place it
Pete Illson
Blur - "Oily Water"
Song name on that intro?
Oily Water by Blur
I can't find a single video where this thing sounds good, but the NUX cerebus does seem to sound good... is it just me?
A little blur....🇬🇧🎼🆒
this seems difficult.
Cringe! ...that horrible display reminds me of my old POD XT Live!
whats wrong with it... it does its job
I'm sure it does its job... An advanced looper/switcher is fine for a pedalboard but I really don't need the digital effects...Although, it might sound good through my FRFR speaker.
you have the es5 for pure switching, the effects are simply extras on this
Yes, I see the value in that but its still kind of big on a pedalboard.
It's better than an analogue?
Anyone thinking of selling their soul to the Devil for guitar skills is getting ripped off. Sell it to Andy instead.
covfefe!
weyland yutani nah! Needs more covfefe to be covfefe.
And you sold another ms3...
Just buy a Boss Katana? Cheaper.
I'm hearing it's going to be $500. Seems way too high of a price point. I'd totally be in at around 300 though.
$700
It's $399.00, Josh. :)
ProGuitarShopDemos lol dang XD well thank you for the correction
Josh P 468 € on thomann! 😧
This is a demo of all the shit effects no one ever uses
13brenno13 Kind of a pointless reply. Reverb, delay, boost, phaser etc. are useless effects? If you've got the cash for boutique stand alone pedals, more power to you. Most of the rest of us don't.
From 7:00 minutes til the end
The terrible Boss sound X 200 :D
Not even Andy cannot make it sound right (sorry man)
Michael Sc why terrible?
Kinda redundant. It would be better if it was a 2 or 3 channel looper with midi and the typical es5/8 functions in a smaller footprint without the digital effects. It would cost less too(I'm sure it's expensive). Example : connect an H9 and a Brothers to a small switcher like this and you have endless possibilities in a small package.
$399
it's pretty small as is. I don't think removing the effects would make it any smaller. I think it's a cool idea..put your dirt pedals in the loop because those are harder to emulate digitally. Then use the built in mod/delay/reverb effects for the rest. then you can set up complex presets with more than 3 effects at a time, all with a pretty small pedalboard
lose3111 I said removing the digital effects would make it cheaper not smaller. For the record I never said it wasn't cool but it's really similar to the es5 (without the built in effects).
H9 is awesome but costs more than the MS-3 which streets @ $399 in the US.
Boss has long had these effects programmed. It's added value for them to include on what is essentially them paying for the hardware and manufactured unit. I think it's a pretty unique offering because if you have midi effects you really have TONS of options and you can built setlists well in advance.
