Is it worth the money?

I have and use the Boss CS3, and yes with the right tweaking it really does help smooth out and boost the signal going to the input stage allowing me to drive the preamp harder.

I like using one for leads and funky strumming patterns.

Smooths them out and gives leads a tight punch.
