The Next-Generation Control Station
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Control & Expression
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The FC-300 is outfitted with nine industrial-grade footswitches and
two programmable expression pedals for fast, easy control and
expanded performance capabilities. The backlit LCD offers a high-
contrast view of patch names (when used with VG-99) and other
important data, even in the darkest stage environments.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Power Patches
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Up to 100 sets of MIDI messages/parameters can be stored simul-
taneously in the FC-300 as patches. Complex MIDI transmission is
made simple thanks to the FC-300’s ability to package chunks of
data together in a single patch, and then transmit each data-burst
via footswitch.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Advanced Connectivity
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Using commercially available LAN (Ethernet, CAT5) cable and the
newly adopted RRC2 protocol, the FC-300 provides both bidirectional
MIDI transmission and electrical power supply with one simple
connection between VG-99 and FC-300.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Programmable Switching
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Two multipurpose switch-jacks are built into the FC-300. These
programmable outputs are an ideal feature for guitarists, as they
allow amp channels to be switched from clean to lead, for example,
in sync with patch changes on the FC-300.

With its extreme gain, the ML-2 is the most potent and heavy distortion pedal ever created by BOSS. It easily
delivers massive distortion and gain with heavy lows for playing Nu Metal, Grind Core, Industrial, Hard Core,
or any genre that requires crushing sound. The ML-2’s ferocious and biting tone will complement and cut
through any blast beats your rhythm section can create.
● Ultra-heavy distortion with
sharp-edged attack for
crushing metal riffs
● LOW control for heavy, low
frequency sound a la 7-string
guitar or dropped tuning
● HIGH control for screaming,
metallic tone
● Road-tough BOSS metal
