## Questions & Answers

**Q: Weird question time: I'm about 135lbs, and a bit over-enthusiastic. If I jump about 2 feet in the air and land on this pedal, will it survive?**
A: Dude, even if you weighed 531 lbs and did that - I don't think you're hurting a Boss.  Maybe don't land on the knobs in that case though eh?

**Q: some reviews say this ships with no power adapter. is this true? you have to find one and buy it separately?**
A: Not really that hard.  Just search here for guitar pedal power supplies.  9V 2.1x5.5mm, center negative.  Or buy a bunch of 9v batteries

**Q: Im new to pedals and would like to know if this comes by itself, if it does what cables do i need?**
A: You'll just need one guitar cable from your guitar to the pedal, and a second guitar cable from the pedal to your amp.  The pedal runs on a 9v battery, which is included.

**Q: Where is this pedal made?**
A: Taiwan. It hasn't affected the quality of the pedal, or of the sound in any way. Still the best $50 distortion pedal.
