Boss CS-1 Vintage 1980 Blue Compression Sustainer Guitar Pedal - Made In Japan The CS-1 was built from 1978 till 1982 and was the first Compression/Sustainer pedal released from Boss. It features intuitive controls and a two-way switch for normal or treble focus in the compression, Boss CS-1 Compression Sustainer is an originator of the effect. Like all compression pedals it reduces the output of sounds over a set threshold relative to the strength of the input signal, making levels consistent and improving sustain. In the CS-1 this is done by means of photocouplers. The later CS-2 and CS-3 used VCA’s (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) to create the same effect. The sound of the CS-1 is thus very different from its successors. It is Capable of serving bright, punchy attack that barrels through a mix.
This sale is for a vintage blue CS-1. It has the Made In Japan black label and the silver screw. Its serial number can be found printed in the back of the battery compartment. It is #9700. This unit was built in August 1980.
