Boss pedals appreciation thread

perhaps because you've never owned a PS-2?

I haven't.

[D.o.S.]

its so good dude.

That's all I got.

I feel I can trust that review

I'd swap the DM-2w for the RE-20 all day, but I'd also have it running into a real Space Echo too.

Controlled by one of the ES-whatever prgorammable footswitch/patchbays.

How does the GT-001 tape compare to the RE-20? And if you've played one, the DD-500? I know neither have the magic preamp.

That's how this works, right?

Can get close but can't get 100%, or at least I haven't gotten there yet. Thing I suspect is the inability to set feedback of the individual heads (the only way I've gotten something other than the RE-20 to sound right, save preamp) is what keeps it off a hair.

Haven't touched a DD-500.

I love my PlayStation 3. Even though it's fully wet all the time for some reason

Spamming the shit out of this demo I just did. Boss MD-2 is one very underrated pedal. Super easy to dial in some pretty good sounds, and it sounds really good at gigging volumes as well. EQ is powerful, but in that mostly useless way like a muff eq, but still. Rad stuff.

the analogman hi-cut mod for the RV-3 has been mentioned... just bought a rehoused RV-3 with it (rehoused by Jero I think?) and I must say that I'm sort of disappointed it seems to affect the whole sound, not just the RV-3 effect

not sure if that's the mod's side-effect or if it's badly done but it makes it a bit sour

other than that - this is my second RV-3 with about 6 years in between them and I'm enjoying it much more now

So I played a DS-1 for the first time ever today and I was actually rather surprised. Although, the buddy I bought it off of had taken out a few capacitors or something, so it's not really stock. It really sounded a lot better than I was expecting. I bought it for $15 with the plan to circuit bend it, so we'll see what kind of crazy things I can make it do

Consigned. So much rad about that guy:

Fuck you, gorothenburg, now I want one of those.

I'll edit this post later but I have 3 of these two taiwanese and 1 japanese. I plan on buying more, the pitch shifting and the delay are some of my favorite effects in the world. I Bought it for 80 bucks originally because I wanted a digital delay and I thought it was cheap and my local shop. I originally had bought a digital metalizer that had a wonky pad and I replaced it for the PS-2. Glad I did. I've owned that particular one for 5 years now. It has clock noise now when I use it in delay mode but I would never get rid of it.

I also recently got an RV-2 and it's absolutely changed my hate for reverb to absolute necessity. I can't even play guitar without that at the end or start of my chain since I grabbed it. I'm probably gonna get a second one honestly. Finally I have a dunwich HM-2 that I really really think is awesome although I want to get a normal japanese HM-2 to compare and have the boss aesthetic running through my pedalboard.

VIVA EL BOSS.

I'm up to three on my master board (that feeds everything else, including a couple Boss multis and rackmount) again.

I have two on almost constantly.

I got a CE-2w during the Black Friday sales and absolutely love it. I like the CE-1 mode the best and the vibrato is really nice as well.

[rfurtkamp]

Yep, had the CE-2W for almost a month now and the CE-1 is dead on - I did an initial A/B with my vintage JC, and could dial in the sound right off (with less noise to boot).
