Boss ft-2 Dynamic Filter

Post by scabiosa »

Anyone likes this pedal?

Can't find much info about it. I would like to know if you use it with the expression pedal, is it like a wah, or is it more like a lowpassfilter, perfect for trippy modulation?

Some people say it's a subtle dynamic wah, other say you can get 80% of the moogerfooger lowpassfilter sounds out of it.

Who tells me?

Thanks for referring to my video, GardenoftheDead. :)*

The FT-2 is one of the best BOSS pedals ever built! It is no bandpass filter like the AW-2 or the TW-1 "T(ouch) Wah". It is a very good sounding lowpass filter that's also very nice for bass or synthesizers. It's a shame that this pedal was a flop back then. It is so much better and more versatile than the AW-2 that I almost dislike. You can adjust the sound with the Q knob and make it a cocked wah (very nice in combination with dirt pedals) in the EXP/manual mode. And the EXP input is great, too, because it can serve as a foot controlled wah this way. Superb, I say!
