NEVER should have sold mine.. sold it for around $120 CANADIAN too, it was mint!!!!! Regrettttt
Yes, that was kinda dumb. :p It is a perfect pedal through and through. Today I would implement tap tempo, but apart from that BOSS has done everything absolutely right.

I have a Boss RC3 (super solid simple looper, which I use also as a backing track/sampler player) and an old OD2r, which to me it's best overdrive I've ever played!

I also love the OD-2R and it was my favourite overdrive pedal, but a few years ago I purchased an affordable KORG OVD-1 which is now my absolute favourite for guitar. The OD-2R is also great with synthesizers so I won't give it away.

This is my kind of thread.... nothing but love for the HM-2, HM-3, Metal Zone, ODB-3 and the digital delays.

I’ve been known to really love the PH-1r as well but I don’t have much use for a phaser these days.

Sometimes I wonder about replacing my Goodbye 24 with a PS-2 again. Which I've done in the past and regretted. But the PS-2 is a bit easier to use. Doesn't do the pitched delay though. So I keep wondering.

Very boring pedal but I got an OD-3 a few months back and have been using it alot! It super harsh and has a pretty decent but not extreme low end so it does really nasty blown out amp sounds

I inherited a GE-7 when I started noodling with my keyboard and it totally opened things up to find out that I could massage the buzzy unpleasant frequencies from my SK-1 into something much more mellow and pleasant.

Why not both, although I got rid of GB24 for two PS2s because it was too noodly and finicky for me.

Have had both at two different points, and ended up with one over the other each time. But the noodly finickyness is what is making me rethink it this time. We shall see.

I got the other day a Boss SD2 Dual Overdrive (with a FS5L switch).
What a great pedal! Such a shame Boss stopped building these.

PS-2 in delay mode with those digitally distorted repeats into pitch shifted delay ala GB24 is a lovely wall of sound.
Youtube Channel?

just got in a TR-2... a basic tremolo but surprisingly even the slowest settings sound good! I think the waveforms might be sine
