An ideal combination of effects and switching capabilities
As soon as we first saw the MS-3 Multi Effects Switcher at Sweetwater, we knew that BOSS came up with something very smart. You can integrate your favorite effects pedals with three separate loops and create custom patch configurations that can be recalled instantly. And to cover effects that you may not have a dedicated pedal for, you can select from 112 built-in effects. With six effects available simultaneously, plus three loops for your effects pedals, there's a ton of creative potential in the MS-3 Multi Effects Switcher.

Ready to manage your amp settings too
Beyond effects and loop switching, the MS-3 Multi Effects Switcher is a capable solution for switching channels on your amplifier. It also features MIDI connectivity for interfacing with MIDI gear.



Built-in tuner, noise suppressor, and global EQ
Using the BOSS MS-3 will help you cut down on extra pedals, enabling you to use your pedalboard space more efficiently. A tuner is built in, as is a noise suppressor for cutting noise when using high-gain tones. There's also a global EQ you can use to shape the overall sound of your rig. It's extremely helpful when you're trying to get a consistent sound in different venues, allowing you to compensate for the sound of any room without having to adjust your preferred guitar, pedal, or amp settings.
