Boss CS - 2 Compression Sustainer Blue
Offered for sale:
Vintage mid-eighties Boss CS-2 Compression Sustainer serial number 526900.
This effects pedal is in very good condition, fully functional. Cosmetically showing some nicks and marks and adhesive residue, expected playing wear for its age.
The CS-2 compresses high-input signals while boosting low-input signals, giving you smooth and long sustain without degrading the quality of the original sound. The CS-2 uses a VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) instead of the photo couplers used by the CS-1. The VCA's speeds up the signal processing and makes the attack much faster compared to the CS-1. The Attack knob can however be used to control this.
Made In Japan the CS-2 was sold from December 1981 to June 1988.
Over thirty years later, people still seek out this rugged and reliable classic for its smooth tone and even response.

“We test every used amp and pedal when we buy it and bring it up to our standards before we offer it for sale. Then we burn it in for an hour or so before we ship so that there are no surprises.”
*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
