Pedals, Loopers, Katanas & More
This could, and possibly should, be you.
You can tell when a Boss shipment arrives. The shelves get heavier. The pedal cabinet looks ever so slightly dangerous, yet inviting.
There’s a quiet hum in the room — like the collective sound of decades of guitar history being unpacked.
And right now?
Musicmaker is absolutely heaving with fresh Boss gear.
From legendary compact pedals to next-level loop stations, from studio-grade multi-effects processors to the ever-dominant Katana amps — this is one of the biggest Boss drops we’ve seen in a long time.
Brown cartons cracked open, silver logos flashing, that unmistakable Boss smell of fresh circuitry and possibility in the air.
Let's go.
The Icons – Classic Boss Compact Pedals
Boss compact pedals are the backbone of pedalboards worldwide. Durable. Reliable. Instantly recognisable. They’ve shaped more records than most of us can count.
And we’ve just restocked the heavy hitters.
Boss LS-2 Line Selector Pedal
The unsung hero of complicated rigs. The LS-2 lets you route signals, blend loops, switch between chains and generally behave like a pedalboard architect. Clean boost, parallel blending, multi-amp setups — it’s the control centre for players who think beyond “guitar into amp.”
Boss GE-7 Graphic Equalizer Pedal
Seven bands of precise EQ control plus level boost. Want to tighten your low end? Push mids for solos? Sculpt your amp’s response? The GE-7 is a tone surgeon. It’s been on pro boards for decades for a reason.
Boss TR-2 Tremolo Pedal
Simple. Musical. Classic. The TR-2 delivers warm, amp-style tremolo with rate and depth control that sits perfectly in a mix. Subtle pulse or dramatic chop — it does both without fuss.
Boss RT-2 Rotary Ensemble Pedal
Rotary tones without the back-breaking speaker cabinet. The RT-2 recreates spinning speaker movement with lush realism, perfect for ambient textures, vintage rock flavours or dramatic modulation moments.
Boss DD-8 Advanced Digital Delay
The modern delay standard. From pristine digital repeats to analog-style warmth and experimental glitch modes, the DD-8 covers everything. Tap tempo, stereo options, extended delay times — this is a serious delay for serious players.
Boss OC-5 Octave Pedal
Polyphonic tracking. Vintage mode. Modern mode. The OC-5 takes classic octave tones and upgrades them with improved accuracy and flexibility. Perfect for thickening riffs, synth-like textures or bass expansion.
And that’s only scratching the surface. There's so many more.......
These pedals, and so many more available in Musicmaker now!
Loop Stations – Create, Build, Layer
Boss loopers have defined live looping for years. Whether you’re practising at home or building full arrangements on stage, these units are intuitive, powerful and road-tested.
Boss RC-1 Loop Station
Simple and effective. Clean looping with a clear visual loop indicator. Perfect for beginners and players who just want to layer without menu diving.
Boss RC-5 Loop Station
Small footprint. Big brain. The RC-5 packs studio-quality 32-bit sound, built-in rhythms and extensive memory into a compact pedal format. It’s a songwriter’s dream.
Boss RC-600 Loop Station
Now we’re talking professional looping control. Six stereo tracks, onboard effects, deep routing capabilities and full performance flexibility. The RC-600 is built for serious loop artists, solo performers and live creators.
If you’re searching for the best guitar looper pedal in Ireland, Boss continues to lead that conversation.
Multi-Effects – Total Rig Control
Sometimes you want one pedal.
Sometimes you want everything.
Boss multi-effects processors deliver massive tonal flexibility without sacrificing sound quality.
Boss GT-1000 Guitar Effects Processor
Flagship territory. AIRD amp modelling, studio-grade effects, deep editing, live performance control — the GT-1000 is built for players who want premium modelling without compromise.
Tour-ready. Studio-ready. Ridiculously powerful.
Boss GX-1B Bass Multi Effects Processor
Bassists, we see you.
The GX-1B is tailored for bass tone sculpting, offering amp modelling, effects, compression and routing flexibility designed specifically for low-end authority. Clean punch, driven grit or atmospheric layers — it handles it all.

Katana Power – The Modern Classic
If Boss pedals are iconic, the Katana series is legendary.

The latest evolution of one of the best-selling guitar amps in the world. Multiple amp characters, onboard effects, power control scaling, USB connectivity and gig-ready volume. The Katana 50 Gen 3 continues to dominate rehearsal rooms and stages alike.
Katana-Mini X Guitar Amplifier
Small. Loud. Surprisingly powerful. The Katana-Mini X delivers serious tone in a compact format — perfect for home practice, travel or quick plug-and-play sessions.
