EURUS GS-1

The EURUS concept presents a bold new creative path for adventurous sonic explorers, expanding the traditional guitar experience with powerful and expressive Boss technologies, the company says.

EV-1-WL Wireless MIDI Expression Pedal

The Boss EV-1-WL is said to be the world’s first wireless MIDI expression pedal, providing wireless foot control for Boss products such as the EURUS GS-1 and Waza-Air, music apps on mobile devices, and anything that can receive CC messages via Bluetooth MIDI.

In addition, USB and MIDI TRS connectivity are on hand for wired control of computer music software and standard MIDI devices. Whether you go wireless or wired — or both at once — the EV-1-WL delivers MIDI power in a compact footprint.

Key features include:

MIDI expression pedal for controlling devices through Bluetooth MIDI, USB, and TRS MIDI outputs

Dedicated iOS/Android app for assigning MIDI

Control input for up to two BOSS FS-series footswitches

The CB-EG20 meanwhile is a premium guitar gig bag with semi-rigid design and water-resistant materials for superior protection.
