Currently celebrating its milestone 50th anniversary, BOSS remains at the forefront of the industry, with a slew of innovative gear releases this year – and while 2023 witnessed the kind of forward-thinking product debuts that made BOSS a success early on, the pioneering Japanese brand has also been taking a look back at its unparalleled influence and impact on music-making throughout the decades.
Now, BOSS’ incredible 50-year legacy is being honored with a collectible supplement included with the February issue of Guitar World magazine (574) on sale December 24.
The special-edition BOSS 50th Anniversary publication features exclusive artist interviews with the likes of Joe Bonamassa and Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien, detailed spotlights on contemporary releases, and retrospectives on classic BOSS gear from its illustrious history.
It’s filled with stunning bespoke photography and is an unmissable read for BOSS fans.

Alongside classic BOSS pedals, Waza Craft gear, progressive guitar synthesizers, and contemporary global success stories like the Katana amp series, the supplement also features a focus on the new trio of limited edition 50th Anniversary pedals.
These special versions of the legendary BOSS DS-1 Distortion, SD-1 Super OverDrive and BD-2 Blues Driver compact pedals are a must-have for collectors and players alike. Arriving in exclusive livery with a dedicated four-digit serial number and bespoke packaging, each pedal sports a metallic finish, silver thumb screw, gold-capped knobs, and commemorative 50-year anniversary emblem.
The celebrations continue over at the BOSS website with an interactive 50th Anniversary timeline, where you can follow and learn more about the landmark products that chart the company’s innovations from the 1970s right to the present day; from its compact pedals to trailblazing guitar synths, multi-effects, modeling amps and Loop Station series.
