The Guitar World crew visited the Roland/Boss booth — it's actually a large room with several sections and a stage — during the 2014 Winter NAMM Show in Anaheim, California.
We were introduced to several new items from the company, including the latest Boss pedals, the DS-1X: Distortion and the OD-1X: Overdrive. Be sure to check out our video below!
From Boss:
