Yeah this is getting ridiculous.

As rfurt said, lower the fucking price point and be reasonable.
I guess when all of this crap is worth nothing on the secondhand market it'll be worth looking at.
I mean Boss don't make ENTIRELY awful shit (some of it is fucking gold in a little box), but yeah, don't be showing me no tone capsule like you just reinvented the fucking tube.

Also, Waza the fuck out of FZ2s and return those prices to normal on the used ones.
And HM2s.
And all the good pedals.
A new DC2/3 would be tits.

Maybe they should release all the rad pedals under the Titty Craft branch....

Make a Waza DC2 with the 4 presets, and knobs for editable presets.

JUST HIRE ME ALREADY, FOUNTAIN OF IDEAS.

I don't even understand what Waza is. Someone care to explain?

I saw the tuner and laughed pretty hard. But what do I know, I use my H9's tuner.

the reason the DC-2 works so well is because the there are no knobs though, it's a 'dimensional' pedal, you don't need to tweak it, it sounds good on any mode and is supposed to be subtle (even with no tweaking it's not that recognizable, it just makes shit sound cool in the same way as using a nice compressor or whatever)
:oldrant:
i definitely think there's room for a new chorus pedal from them though, something along the lines of fusing BBD's and complex filtering/stereo functionality like the DC-2 but with digital LFO's and the possibility to fuck shit up

Jobs for everyone!

They need a new chorus so bad. I had to tell my friend to stop using his CE-5 because it just sounds like tinny shit.

it was supposed to be a 'special edition' line of pedals with supposedly a lot of extra testing and attention to detail, refining their well-regarded older circuits and adding extra functionality
but now we have this amp and a TU-3 waza so i dunno what the fuck is going on, haha

QFT here too. It gets all the love and the Super Chorus is a million times better. Fuck you Justin Chancellor.

This has been my experience, at least: the more I get into the weirder parts of pedal building, the more I appreciate Boss.
Yeah, though you might argue that some of their best/weirdest pedals are sadly not in production anymore.
My current synth board currently has 5 pedals, 3 of them are Boss (two PS-3 and one RV-3), and I also use a BF-2, DD-20, GE-7, DSD-2, DSD-3...

Why the fuck are they called Waza anyway? That sounds lika a cheap Yugi-Oh (spelling?) ripoff and makes me feel old.

技 (Waza) is Japanese for technique, skill what have you.

BOSS pedals do sound pretty good for the most part though. Also they are built like a tank. I've had many boutique pedals of dubious quality pass through but my BOSS pedals work as good as they did 20 years ago. I was hoping they were getting back on track with the Waza line but now I'm not so sure.

Yea, the VB2 had me hoping they were developing a clue again.

But wazatuner makes me question the whole concept.
