Boss CS-2 Compression Sustainer

The CS-2 compresses high-input signals while boosting low-input signals, giving you smooth and long sustain without degrading the quality of the original sound. The CS-2 uses a VCA (Voltage Controlled Amplifier) instead of the photocouplers used by the CS-1. The VCA’s speeds up the signal processing and makes the attack much faster compared to the CS-1. The Attack knob can however be used to control this.

CS-2's are older Boss/ACA adapter requirement - so either a Boss ACA adapter, 9v battery, or 12v adapter powers it - a typical everyday 9v 200mA adapter will not be sufficient power, the light will be dim and the output distorted (in a non-desirable manner)

THIS PEDAL HAS ALREADY BEEN CONVERTED TO 9vDC PSA SPEC

I'm trying to avoid from instituting a no refund policy on vintage gear, so other than guaranteeing that it will not be DOA, ANY return on vintage gear is an automatic 15% restock fee. Any questions, please ask.
