Talk:Boss Corporation

message: I just stumbled across this page. Not only does it have so many facts wrong (release dates, etc), but it had a now-removed plea to fix those very same "facts" right in the paragraph.
 [someone fix this- this mostly isn't true ds-2 came out in 1987- someone make this paragraph right- most of it is wrong- the hm-2 was much earlier)
I'm also amazed that there is but a brief mention of BOSS's other products, but no in-depth list or anything. There are pages for various of BOSS' products laying around too. So much work, so little time. I'm not an expert on BOSS effect pedals/sound shapers. I only know something of their drum machines/rhythm machines. Anyone wanna take this on? sugarfish (talk) 03:09, 27 November 2017 (UTC)

thread_title: Trademark

message: I have to agree that this page is basically one large advertisement for the company.
FIXED. Thank you very much! NIRVANA2764 19:21, 23 April 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: If this was an advert for Boss, I think they'd mention more of their gear than is mentioned on this page. Currently it mentions guitar effects processors ONLY. Looking at Bossus.com, I can see that this is just the first heading on the "Gear" menu.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.153.45.54 (talk) 08:48, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Is this page an advertisement? 

message: I removed Michael Balzary from the list of people that use Boss products. Balzary and Flea are the same person and Flea was already in there. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Phefner (talk • contribs) 04:34, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Someone has gone around and added Balzary to every list containing Flea. I'll try and clear that up at some point. I'm not sure this page merits a list of users though - after all it's much like listing writers who've owned a pen. *smb 23:54, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: User edit

message: I believe this section should be completely removed. I can't think of any artist that never used any BOSS product. It's almost as having a list called "Programmers who have used Microsoft products". Only notable users (first users or endorsed players) should be listed, like Van Halen would be listed in a Peavey users list, with his Peavey 5150, for example. --SUBZ3R0 ( Talk | E-mail ) 19:35, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps not such a good analogy - I can think of a multitude programmers who never programmed or used MS products! (But this isn't the place to list them ;)195.153.45.54 08:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Boss-logo.png

message: This page should be moved back to Boss Corporation. The name is not pronounced "B-O-S-S" and the letters don't stand for anything. Our manual of style for trademarks clearly indicates that in this case we should not reproduce the cosmetic all-caps rendering used by the company itself. —ptk✰fgs 05:37, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: They do describe themselves as "Boss Corporation". See: http://www.bosscorp.co.jp/en/index.html —ptk✰fgs 01:15, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, now I see the “Copyright 2004 Boss Corporation” at the bottom of the page, but that is about all we have. This is a little obscure—probably needs a little research from someone who is interested in the subject. ●DanMS • Talk 01:36, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I would definitely argue against merging the Boss and Roland pages though! It's just like AOL/Time/Warner - they're all the same company 195.153.45.54 08:52, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: Based on available sources, I feel a number of Boss pedals could have standalone articles, but those articles just become tech jargon overkill; plus, I'm not that motivated.  So instead I think providing overviews of some classic pedals is warranted.  I'm no pedal circuitry expert, so I tried to just stick to what sources say.  I'm sure other pedals could be added.  I mostly just know overdrives.  Comments?  Criticisms? Mbinebri (talk) 17:25, 31 July 2023 (UTC)
