<Risitas voice> So, we decided to make a BOSS multi-stomp pedal, and we made there be only 8 built-in effects, with most of them being ancient discontinued BOSS products nobody wants, plus an SD-1 and DS-1…

For €270!

(laughter)

And then… another of the effects is actually an OD-1! An SD-1 without a tone knob! Together with the SD-1! That's 2 of the 8 effects you can't remove!

(hysterical laughter)

And then… if you want any of the good shit like the CE-2 or OC-2, $10 extra! From Roland Cloud!

(incredibly hysterical laughter)

And there's only space for at most eight more $10 DLC effects on the device!

(at this point quite worryingly hysterical laughter)

And it relies on a mobile app, and Roland have a terrible track record on long-term support of digital products!

(the laughter, it is too intense)

And for €120 you could get a ZOOM MS-50G+ which has 100 excellent built-in effects!

(he's dying now. he's really starting to die)

And you can actually use several of those at once!

(he's dead. his life has ended from laughing too hard)

At the top of the image, Thomann product listings for the well-known and highly-rated “Zoom MS-50G+” and brand-new, not-yet-available “Boss PX-1 Plugout FX” are listed next to eachother. The former is €121 and the short descriptions show it offers up to 100 effects, of which 6 can be used simulatenously. We can also see it has a lot of controls. The latter is €269 and only claims to have “Eight pre-installed BOSS classics”, and obviously has far fewer physical controls. At the bottom is an image sometimes referred to as “KEKW”. It is a very JPEG-ish image of a famous clip of Risitas, a Spanish comedian in his 40's, being interviewed on Ratones Coloraos, laughing hysterically while recounting a funny anecdote from his life.
