Boss CS-3 Analogue Compression Sustainer Pedal Rare Made In Japan Black Label Complete With Original Box And Instructions Manual In Perfect Working Order Serial Number E953900 Was Produced October 1988 In excellent used condition has hardly had any use from new. Produces quality compression sustain with great tone and attack! This is a first ASA version of this model and has the voltage controlled amplifier VCA, DBX1252 found in the earlier CS-2 These earlier analogue models used quality components and are comparable to the CS-2 a superior sound to the later made Taiwan PSA models CS-3 Compression Sustainer The CS-3 replaced the CS-2 in 1986 and has since then been the only Boss pedal compressor available. This pedal will compress high input signals and boost low input signals to produce sustain. Boosting low-input signal means that noise will be boosted at the same time so it is easy to compress the signal too much and end up with a very noisy signal. The CS-3 has been through a chip replacement at least once in its lifetime. Early pedals used a voltage controlled amplifier (VCA) DBX1252 but it was changed to a THAT2159 some time in the early 90s. The pedal was modified for the PSA adapter in 1997. Specifications Controls: Level, Tone, Attack, Sustain Connectors: Input, Output, AC Adaptor Current Draw: 10 mA (DC 9V) Weight: read more
