Members Rgkchile Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 Do you own a relatively recent version of one or more of the pedals above? Did you know that you may not have fully unwrapped your Boss product? A very thin, clear, plastic shield lies on top of each of the tree knobs positioned on these pedals. If you have ever purchased an iPod you may have noticed a protective piece of plastic covering the screen itself. Boss uses this same idea to cover the tops of these knobs. If you carefully peel this covering off you may be surprised just how shiny these knobs actually are! Removing the plastic shield can easily be done using an X-Acto knife, razor blade, safety pin, or tweezers. Be careful not to press into the plastic, as it is extremely thin, and you wouldn't want to score the knob itself. Some of you may have already discovered this, and some may not have. Leave the plastic on if you want a little extra protection, or take it off and get a little more shine out of your Boss pedal. I am unaware if the same is applicable for Boss twin pedal products and the larger multi-effects units. Take care all. -Rgkchile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Army of Darkness Posted February 10, 2010 Members Share Posted February 10, 2010 I thought something was lacking with my Boss pedals, I didn't know until now it was the need for shinier knobs. This is going to change my life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Tag Intel Posted February 11, 2010 Members Share Posted February 11, 2010 So what we are talking about here is removing a protective plastic cover off of one of your knobs? Sounds like taking a condom off. Woo-hoo! Riding Boss "bareback." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
