This is open box condition. There’s not a scratch or flaw of any kind. Comes with Factory Warranty.The Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer Pedal is a classic analog compressor designed to even out signal dynamics by clamping down on loud peaks while boosting softer signals, delivering smooth sustain without altering your base distortion.Core Features• Analog Circuitry: Built around a high-performance VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) circuit that provides balanced, stable compression across the entire frequency range.  • Low-Noise Design: Specifically engineered for transparent, super-quiet operation compared to earlier generation compressor pedals.  • Versatile Functionality: Functions as a standard compressor/sustainer to maximize clean sustain, or can be dialed in as a strict limiter by rolling back the sustain control.  • Buffered Bypass: Employs BOSS’s signature reliable buffered bypass circuit to maintain signal integrity over long cable runs.  Control InterfaceThe pedal features an intuitive four-knob layout that allows for precise dynamics and tonal adjustment:  • Sustain: Controls the amount of compression and pre-amplification. Turning it clockwise increases sustain time, while counter-clockwise settings limit the output level.  • Attack: Adjusts how quickly the compressor responds to your picking attack. Turning clockwise preserves the initial string snap for punchy, fast playing.  • Tone: A single-band EQ that shapes the high-frequency response. Clockwise emphasizes highs for sharper definition, while counter-clockwise softens the high end.  • Level: Balances the overall output volume of the affected signal relative to your bypassed tone.Technical Specifications• Input Impedance: 1 MΩ  • Output Impedance: 1 kΩ  • Nominal Input/Output Level: -20 dBu  • Compression Range: 38 dB• Current Draw: 11 mA to 20 mA (DC 9V)• Power Supply: Uses a standard 9V battery or an external AC adapter (BOSS PSA-series, sold separately).  • Dimensions: 2-7/8" (W) x 5-1/8" (D) x 2-3/8" (H)  • Weight: 15 oz (including battery)This product contains an unused warranty card.
