This review is from: Boss CS-3 Compression Sustainer Effect Pedal
I love many Boss pedals, but this pedal lacks subtlety (transparency) and bass response. It was very difficult to find settings in which the signal did not sound like it was being (over-)compressed. And the bass was very lacking. The only Tone setting in which the bass was present sounds muddy.
If you can get one for a decent price, I say go for it and mod it. I have played through a Monte Allums'-modded CS-3 and the problems I mentioned above were absent.
Different people like different sounds, so at the very least, I do not recommend buying a CS-3 without trying it first.
