Boss Product Overview
With the BOSS CS-3 Compression Sustainer you can compress high-input signals and boost low-input signals. By compressing and boosting the signal the CS-3 gives you consistent sustain for total clarity and control of your sound.
As a sustainer it works perfectly for gentle, nuanced playing that you want to remain tasteful but cut through the mix. If you're strumming chords then the compression works great for a full-sounding accompaniment.
The BOSS CS-3 pairs well with chorus and delay pedals, this pedal can add to and actually improve your existing setup.
