Boss pedals appreciation thread

[Clean Channel]

Put my PH-1r back on my board last night. Such a great phaser.

PH-1r is actually one of the best phasers I've ever played.

Definitely the best $40 I've ever spent on a pedal

And yeah, it does exactly what I want a phaser to do....

Love my BF-2. I haven't been able to get my SA Orbital to match the settings I use on it. That said, I've seriously considered the Fromel mod for it.

i just got a PS-6, in addition to the shift mode, the detune chorus is totally everything i've been looking for! i think my search for modulation is over...? at least for a while.

LS-2 is currently the only Boss in my pedal chain. It's a pretty useful/undervalued pedal. However, I am interested in a fully modded DS-1.

I'm currently using a TU-2, CS-1, OD-2R, HF-2, CE-2, and DM-2 on my board. Had to take the RV-2 off because the switch is janky. I'm loving the CS-1. It is a different and very pleasant flavor of compressor. I picked up the OD-2R on a whim. I had an OD-2 years ago and liked it, but not enough to keep it. I grabbed the R, since the idea of remotely switching on the Turbo appealed to me.

i have a ps5 to detune
so i can use the ps6 for other stuff
not sure i ever spent much time on ps6 detune
gotta check it out
are you using it stereo or just one channel
ALSO: get an expression pedal like now

anyone tried a LM-2 Limiter? I just scored one cheap on ebay, was looking for something to use to bring out finger tapping and percussive playing more, I can't ever seem to settle on a compressor or boost for it.

also, the RV-3 has officially been on my board longer than anything else now, I really doubt it will ever be beaten. There is something magic about that pedal.

Snagged this boss xtortion pedal in a trade. Not my thing really but it's definitely dope if you're into collecting boss things.

Couldn't make it work for me.

That being said I should contribute something to the thread boss pedals rule. Love my hm-2s and my friends giga delay is pretty amazing.

CE-2 is the best pedal ever. It just is.

I've been considering a PS-6 and I at least want to try a TE-2... I REALLY want a VB-2 but they're so damn expensive:( I'll admit, I didn't really know much about them before trying the model in my pod hd, but I fell in love with the effect so naturally I want to try the real thing.

Oh, and I've wanted a CE-2 forever.

[chuckjaywalk]

I've got a PS-2 and it is fun. I like it more than the PS-5. Unfortunately, all I use it for is pseudo- Rainbow Machine things and I've got an actual Rainbow Machine. I tried a TE-2 and was ready to buy it, but they didn't have one in stock, so I lost interest.

CE-2 is goddamn magic. I've had a CE-3, CE-5, and CH-1. They didn't touch the CE-2.

I don't really ever use vibrato, but having owned an actual VB-2, I can say with certainty that nothing I have tried sounded anywhere near as good as the VB-2. They go for ridiculous money but they're sought after for a good reason and there aren't many around so it makes sense. It is a phenomenal pedal.
The wet mode on a CE-3 isn't quite the same but I thought it was a good approximation of the VB-2 and at least nicer than the line 6 model if you're after a cheaper option.

Embiggened for truth!

So, the Boss ME-25 is kind of the most awesomest thing for me right now. I'm actually prefer having presets vs. individual fx I can turn off/on. I don't know what the hell happened, guys. I've committed tone suicide.
