Boss CS-2 Compression Sustainer

pedal schematic diagram
The Boss CS-2 Compression Sustainer effect was sold from December 1981 to June
1986. The pedal compresses high-input level signals while boosting low-input level
signals, producing a smooth and long sustain without degrading the quality of the original
guitar sound.
