Second Hand BOSS CS-2 Compression Sustainer Leyland Store Not in Original Box 3 Months Guarantee Works With a 9v Battery or BOSS PSA230 ES Power Supply Second Hand BOSS CS-2 Compression Sustainer Leyland Store This is an earlier version of their current CS-3. The CS-1 was a completely different circuit, but the CS-2 and CS-3 are similar. The main differences are the VCA chip and the tone knob that the CS-3 has and the CS-2 doesn't. The rest of their circuits are similar enough to not make much of an audible/functional difference. Although many players do prefer the CS-2... In comparison to the current CS-3, the CS-2 seems to have a bit less noise, but that may just be because of the rolled-off highs. That said, the different VCA chips do have a bit different action, and the envelope of the CS-2's compression seems a bit more fluid or organic than the CS-3 (which basically just flatlines your signal). So you might find the CS-2 to have a more "musical" action. But the difference is fairly subtle. The construction quality, power supply, and bypass footswitch are the same as most other Boss pedals- built to last and extremely durable. This pedal has had some use and has been gigged, but it is in good condition, and like all Boss pedals - it will outlive all of us...and our kids kids! Kev Atherton - Rimmers Music Second Hand BOSS CS-2 Compression Sustainer Leyland Store The Boss CS-2 Compressor Pedal is a classic effect that has been a favorite among guitarists since its introduction. Known for its smooth and musical compression, the CS-2 provides enhanced sustain and consistent dynamics, making it an ideal choice for players looking to even out their playing and add extra punch to their sound. Its vintage status and distinctive tone have made it a sought-after pedal for many musicians. The CS-2 features three simple yet effective controls: Level, Attack, and Sustain. The Level knob adjusts the overall output volume of the pedal, allowing you to match the compressed signal to your uncompressed signal or boost it as needed. The Attack control lets you determine how quickly the compression effect kicks in, providing options from fast, snappy responses to slower, more natural compression. The Sustain knob controls the amount of compression and sustain added to your signal, enabling you to dial in anything from subtle dynamic control to long, singing sustain. One of the standout characteristics of the CS-2 is its ability to add warmth and fullness to your tone. Unlike some modern compressors that can sound clinical or sterile, the CS-2 imparts a pleasing, organic quality to the sound, making it a favourite for both clean and overdriven tones. This pedal excels in a variety of genres, from country and blues, where smooth sustain and dynamic control are essential, to rock and pop, where it can help your guitar sit perfectly in the mix. Built with Boss's renowned durability, the CS-2 is housed in a sturdy metal chassis designed to withstand the rigours of live performance and heavy use. Its compact size and straightforward interface make it easy to integrate into any pedalboard setup. The CS-2's reliable performance and distinctive tonal characteristics have cemented its place as a classic compressor pedal, beloved by guitarists seeking a musical and effective compression solution. Whether used to enhance clean tones or add sustain to solos, the Boss CS-2 remains a versatile and valuable addition to any guitarist's arsenal.
