Yes, I do have a lot of Boss effects as well as MXR, MOOG, Marshall, Fulltone, Radial Engineering and t.c. electronic.
I really do like most of the Boss products and provide me with exactly what I am looking for in terms of sound and quality. I think Boss has gotten a bad rep over the years as for as being a real contender in the effects market. I've been using them since the early '70's and have had no complaints. Do they make some really weak units as well? Sure they do and so do the ohter more fashionable names today. I also use a couple of Roland amps which have performed extreemely well for what they are designed to be.
There is a great article in the lastest GP on effects. True Bypass is not all that it is cracked up to be. Buffering can be a benefit in terms of mataining good signal strength. The latest Carl Martin Octaswitch was built with this in mind and has a buffering switch built in.
I use Boss because for the most part I llike their product.
I didn't intend to get on my soap box about them but since you noticed I thougt I would offer up my opinion on them. So there you have it.
