True dat.

I doubt boss could even summon enough Satan to do reissues of the HM2 and FZ2...even if Wazza made em.
(dear Wazza @ Bossco, please accept my challenge to your honour and summon the demon of awesome pedalness)

I'm really just crossing my fingers for a tu-1000 reissue.

Wait wot? The return on the DM2? About frikkin time! Never understood how the world's biggest pedlol company didnt have an analog delay in their catalogue, especially when they clearly used to make one of THE greatest analog delays ever.

FZ-2: I kinda doubt there's people outside of thise forum that dig this pedal as much as we do. The doom/sludge/gore/whtvr crowd probably isnt nearly as big or rich as the herd of tgp blues lawyers. Plus, thanks to their unpopularity, used FZ2's can still be found cheapish, which can't be said about the SG1, VB2, etc...

I dunno, man. Wazza has been bogarting all the analogues?

Exactly what I've wondered for a long time

Yeah, and if nobody minds if I go on with my little rant...

Out of their zillon of compact pedals, there's a new digital delay every couple years, a whole bunch of distortions and overdrives, loopers, all sort of modulation, you name it...

But if you want one of the most basic, oldest effects out there, and you're after a fuzz, you get to choose from...ONE pedal.

A digital one

And just like with the analog delay, it's not like they don't know how it's done. Dispite being a bit invisible with all the crazy boutique -and other- alternatives, the FZ-3 is still a somewhat unique and very useable classic sounding fuzz pedal imo. Not to mension the FZ-2, which imo is like a more versatile hot rodded superfuzz or something, I still haven't come across anything quite like it.

SD-1 I can understand because of the TS-style fetish.
The BD-2's presence in this lineup is the most recent, unexplainable miss-the-mark blunder by Boss.
DM-2 is the no-brainer....but so is the VB-2 AFAIC.
Boss should give similar treatment to the VB-2; combining it with the PN-2 in a WAZA release and make the product foot-switchable for mono or stereo.

waza is a person?

It's popular enough that Behringer makes a clone...

Maybe it is just my obsession with Swervedriver, but I think people are sleeping on the BD-2. I'm not as excited for it as I am the DM-2, but I totally want to rock one.

i owned one for a little while and i think it's legit.
pretty easy to bag based on the name but it gets NASTY. i didn't think it sounded like a 'blues' pedal at all.

hasn't behringer cloned just about every boss pedal?
i dunno if the R&D they put into every model would be comparable to what Boss would put into an analog reissue, it's probably a lot less risky for them.

It sounds really great if you have two. Crank all the knobs on the first and use the second to tame it.

Exactly. My point was it's not popular enough for Boss, who don't aim at the same target demographic as behringer, or boutique builders for that matter.

I hope so.


Also am I the only person who doesn't really want a fuzz from boss? Like they're good at everything else. For fuzz I wanna go to some small builder who makes a big muff clone with a name like 70S OCCULT BOOBS DOOM WITCH MACHINE or something.

I just want Boss's soft switching, good buffers, durability, low cost, and excellent design standard and a chicken burrito and an Adventure Time box set.
