This pedal works fine and does what it says. You will have to modify the timing of your picking because of the swell, but that's just how these work. Please note that these DO NOT use a battery. If you buy one, you will need to buy the A/C adapter unless you have a powered pedal board. Also, this thing is tiny. Very tiny. Unless you have it mounted well to a pedal board, it can roll under your foot because of how narrow it is. These are not complaints. I'm just letting you know what to expect. Overall, I'm happy with it.

It's applicability is as rare as the pedal itself~ Love the pedal but it is not often it is applicable to a song~ One of the best features of this rare pedal is the violin like effect, or the soft slow swell you get from gently manipulating your strings with a very slight touch..You hit them too hard and the magical effect evaporates. It takes a little time to truly master the benefit from a Boss Slow Gear but when you finally get it..you have a great new effect for your arsenal as a songwriter or performing player. Trouble is not many people take these out to play with due to the rarity of its existence and the thought that someone else may snag it away if left unattended. Safe keeping is the best bet and breaking it out for friends on occasion can keep the unit functioning properly and not decrease in its ability to work, due to lack of use. One of my favorite special effects pedals that I own~Read full review
some folks just dont get it it---(lots of them think they are musicians even though they never play gigs and have never written or recorded material)-beware of experts who have never owned or operated items they claim to know all about...this is in response to the previous "review" from another one.....as doug sahm sang-"oh no not another one!..........when you use a volume pedal you learn WHEN to play notes ahead of the beat so you can swell into them,,,,the BOSS SG-1 allows you to do this without FEET! and much like ring modulators and touch wah, envelope filters---if you dont play them properly they mistrack-and the pedal is not to blame -but the players knowledge.....it works great with fast steel guitar licks...............this is knowledge shared from a 40 year touring and studio veteran musician, guitarist, steeler, bmi writer currently on the radio, former vintage shop owner in austin texas the music center of the universe..yeah yeah yeah--any questions? i didnt think so---in all fun-THANKSRead full review
