Sean Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Has anyone got, tried or used this yet? What do we think? https://www.boss.info/us/products/ms-3/ I think it would ideal for me and would scale down my pedal board and scale up my flexibility and slickness (is that a word?) on stage. I could lose my compressor, noise suppressor, flanger, reverb and just have my Cog KF66, T16 and TCE Corona Chorus in the loops. Massively powerful multi-fx engine plus switching that allows me to run my three favourite boxes. Also: does anyone know what effects board this is https://static.roland.com/assets/images/products/gallery/ms-3_image_01_gal.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JapanAxe Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 I'm pretty sure slickness is a word. If it's not, it should be. Don't recognise the board, but likely to be a Boss/Roland product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0175westwood29 Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 i think the board is a "schmit array" apologies for the awful spelling! if the switching inside the ms-3 is anything like the es8 then its well worth the punt if your sure the inbuilt effects will work for you! i was thinking of grabbing one possibly but it doesnt have midi in, and i wanted it to be controlled by my main board not the other way.

[/quote] That Schmidt Array Board is gorgeous. Yes, it’s a big question on whether the in-built effects will be up to the job. I’m sure they’re top quality but until an MS-3 comes up second hand I’ll wait before finding out ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sibob Posted October 13, 2017 Share Posted October 13, 2017 The onboard effects are great! Sound really good, especially loved the Ring Mod preset. But I just couldn't get on with the workflow....not because it's bad (although it's fiddly witbout the computer based GUI), but just not what I needed. I didn't purchase the loan unit I had and stuck with my Line6 M5. Si Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
