BOSS MS-3 PREAMPS & STEREO Pedal Board setup discussed : Finding Your OWN sound!


In this episode of the BOSS MS-3 DEEP DIVE series I’m responding to requests to see my pedal board setup – It also covers using preamps in the loop blocks prior to your power amp stage – to tailor YOUR OWN UNIQUE SOUND through this process (vs amp modeling) — also stereo pedal board setup, signal chain, pedal board amp, cabs, mics etc.
