Boss is a manufacturer of effects pedals for electric guitars and bass guitars. Beyond that, Boss products include amplifiers, drum machines, and various practice tools to enrich both performances and practice sessions around the world. The earliest Boss product was called B-100 The Boss, released in 1974. This came with a clip-on pre-amp and a pickup to amplify acoustic guitars. Boss has a great influence on modern music. The BOSS brand may mean different things to different people, but one thing is certain — all guitarists associate BOSS with brightly coloured stompboxes and quality multi-effects.
