1991 Boss BE-5M Multi-FX vs Modern Boutique Guitar Pedals - How Far Have We Really Come?

A 1990s Multi-FX can’t compete with modern boutique pedals… can it?! Welcome to the show. Today we’re beginning a series of shows comparing guitar FX of the past to ask, How Far Have We Really Come? Do improvements in tech really bring improvement in sound? There will be various eras / categories of effects represented over the coming months, so let’s see what spills out. Right now, that old plastic thing? Really?! Enjoy the show! Thanks to Simon Vine for the loan of the Boss BE-5M!
