Boss pedals at Lauzon Music
What Boss is known for
The compact pedal. Boss began in 1973 as MEG Electronics, an effects division inside Roland in Osaka, and launched its compact series in 1977 with the OD-1 Overdrive, PH-1 Phaser and SP-1 Spectrum. It has made more than 130 compact models since. Waza Craft pedals are Boss's redesigns of its classic circuits, and the Space Echo pedals come from the company that built the original Roland RE-201 tape echo in 1974.
The models we carry
The Boss pedals here lean to delay. See every Boss delay in stock, or everything on the page.

Questions
Boss questions, answered
What is Waza Craft?
Boss's line of redesigned classic circuits. Each Waza Craft pedal is a complete redesign of an original Boss circuit, like the VB-2w vibrato.
RE-202 or RE-2: which Space Echo?
Both model the Roland RE-201 tape echo, including its spring reverb. The RE-202 is the full-size pedal; the RE-2 puts the Space Echo in a compact Boss box.
Is the DM-101 really analog?
Yes. The audio path is 100 percent analog, through eight BBD (bucket-brigade) chips. A digital CPU handles control, which is how it gets 127 memories, tap tempo and MIDI.
Do you ship Boss pedals to the US?
Yes. Every Boss is tested on our bench and ships insured, free over $200 across Canada and the US, with no duty on US orders.
