Boss CS-2 Compression Sustainer pedal

Monday, November 22, 2010

The Boss CS-2 Compression Sustainer effect was sold from December 1981 to June 1986. The pedal compresses high-input level signals while boosting low-input level signals, producing a smooth and long sustain without degrading the quality of the original guitar sound.
