You flipped your ID didn't you? You can get some great Fuck-esque overdrive tones out of it, but kinda brasher and more brutal. But still clean. I used mine for the first time at rehearsal volume tonight and it sounded awesome with massive volume and distorted bass.

i recorded the opening riff through this, using my iphone

Very Jonestown esque. And goddamn it's delicious.

Yep. Goddamnit, now I want a Behringer amp. WTF?

I flipped my ID before I even got it, dammit.

Another thing is, I know he doesn't really want to spend much money on pedals which is why I say on a budget. And I'm a nice guy but I don't wanna drop $100+ on someone else's pedalboard

Buy a Devi kit, give it to him to build and be done. Nasty dirt on a budget at it's best. OR buy a Boss DS 1. He's a guitar player. Those guys are happy with anything. hahahaha

Also that clip is fucking awesome!!!

Not me, I play guitar and refuse to put crap on my board. Boss pedals are the best for using as a doorstop, paper weight or turning into some kind of weed smoking device. Or you could put one in a sock and use it to ward off people who try to steal your good pedals at a gig.

Don't make me fight you kaos. Boss stuff is awesome. Ok, their last decade or two hasn't seen a lot of legit classics but up until the 90s they were pretty untouchable. Still are if you ask me.

There's still some very solid stuff.

The thing is it's never been 'out there' stuff as a whole - a lot of time, the stuff we love now was pretty panned at the time but they tried.

I would not be happy without a HM-2-type thing available, and the GL-100 (which gives me that in spades) is my favorite standalone preamp for any stringed instrument.

I could walk in to a GC (ok, if I could walk, and there was a GC locally) and find *something* in their line that would fit my basic needs off the bat and do what it said, and keep doing so, until I didn't want it to any more.

They were rightly the gold standard of stuff into the 90s, at which point the market fractured to a point where NOBODY will be like they were.

This thread made me get out my American Metal, it's awesome...

Wait wut? They've got a billion different pedals, so they're bound to have a good share of crappy ones. But something tells me you're either biased, or you haven't played any of the awesome boss pedlols...

The FZ-2 and HM-2 may not be for the faint of heart, but what about the DD series, RC series, the CE-2, VB-2, HF-2, DM2/3,...

Neon how did all of this go ober with yr guitar buddy?

Haven't talked to him yet, haha. He's been AWOL. I'm going pawn shopping tomorrow though. Gonna keep an eye on the BST when I get paid too. Maybe grab him a couple used Devi's or something.

I'm not biased. The only Boss pedal I've ever owned gave me 5 minutes of play then died. Before you ask it was the proper Boss power supply. It wasn't new and it came free with a guitar I got. I didn't get fazed about it. Figured I could find another use for it (See above suggestions )
But you are right. I've never tried any of the awesome ones you mentioned. I would like to try the FZ-2 and some of the delays are much loved around here so yeah. Also the tremolo has me interested because of The Black Keys.

Sounds like it was abused or fed bogus power in the past to get that result.

You're overlooking a cornerstone of guitar effects because of a freebie in a used package.

Yeah you have a valid point. I am really interested in one of those rack mount boss GT001 processors that you have. Been keeping my eyes open for a cheapy.

It's not rackmount (that's the GL-100), the GT-001 is a desktop and I've very very rarely seen used ones pop up - they're selling (to a point they're out of stock some of the time) but nobody's flipping.
