■ Main Features

New Way to Secure Effects Pedals Works with All Types of Pedals,
Lets You Arrange Them However You Like
Now you can set up compact pedals as well as twin pedals simply and easily with
holding pads; the pedal shapes are described in dotted lines right on the pads. These
pads allow you to pull off and rearrange your pedals in seconds, without the need
for double-sided tape. In addition, the BCB-60 comes with an unshaped holding pad
blank, which you can cut to any desired shape, allowing you to use a wide variety of
pedals.
Power Supply Function
The BCB-60 comes with a high-capacity 1000-mA AC adaptor with five times the
capacity of PSA-series adaptors, providing ample power for all of the effects pedals
connected to the BCB-60.

The LL and 8pin parallel DC cables are secured in these spaces.
On both sides, the recessed spaces feature suitably sized gaps, making it easy to pull
out just the cable you want.

These pads are used to keep your effects firmly in place.
These pads can be attached and removed easily with the attachment screws at the
pads' four corners.
Setting up BOSS compact pedals and twin pedals is easy—just cut along the dotted
lines and remove the excess material.
To accommodate an effects pedal that has an unusual shape, use the provided
unshaped pad blank, and cut it to match the shape of the pedal. This allows you to
get a perfectly formed pad, even for a differently shaped pedal.
* Exercise care when using cutting tools so as to avoid injury as you shape the holding pads.
10. Left Panel/Right Panel
These plates are used to hide the cables in the wire holder.
Secure the panels to the wire holder with the thumbscrews.
11. PSC Adaptor
This is a specialized power adaptor for the BCB-60.
Connect the L-shaped DC plug to PSC IN.
12. 8Pin Parallel DC Cable
Connect the L-shaped DC plug to DC OUT and other plugs to any effects pedal you
want to connect.
Always put the supplied tubes on the plugs and keep them in the wire holder when
not in use.
