BOSS ES-5 MULTI EFFECTS SWITCHING SYSTEM W/POWER / MANUAL

BOSS ES?5 Effects Switching System
The ES?5 is a compact, programmable switching system designed to give players precise control over pedalboard routing, presets, and MIDI?based rigs. It delivers the same core architecture as the ES?8 in a smaller footprint, offering flexible signal paths, seamless preset changes, and deep integration with modern effects. Ideal for guitarists who want consistent, repeatable setups without sacrificing the character of their analog pedals.

  Stores multiple banks of user presets for instant recall of loop states, routing, and control assignments during live performance.
• Advanced MIDI Control
  Sends program changes, control changes, and custom commands to MIDI?enabled pedals, amps, and processors for fully integrated setups.
• Assignable Control Outputs
