BOSS Pedal Users/Addicts Unite!!!

[raizen26]

boss pedals are awesome workhorses. while i only have a few boss pedals with me (i even made it a point to make a pedal board without anything boss, or mxr in it), there is no denying that boss is very near to being perfect in terms of build durability.

it is very hard to destroy a boss pedal, they get scratched and banged up, but breaking them is just way hard. you have to go out of your way to destroy them or break a part.

i also love how easy it is to stomp even without shoes on. yes, most pedal manufacturers dont think about it, but for the most part, we play barefooted in our homes or if we dont, we at least do not want to get our pedals dirty by playing them with footwear on. boss pedals just feel so nice to step on.

they are also really hard to miss... with those boutique pedals, you have to aim your foot well, or else you might miss those little 3dpt switches in a song's chorus. and yes, a big lot of them arent even that responsive (i am talking to you Lovepedal).

also, the boss knobs are placed really well, that there is very little chance a cable glancing over them would change your settings. a lot of boutique pedals do not take that into consideration, so you are out there jumping onstage, and then suddenly your vocalist's mic cable passed on your board, and before you know it, the cable adjusted your volume settings and you wont know until you stepped on your delay and suddenly wonder why its going into self-oscillation. that just never happened with Boss (at least with me).

finally, knob labeling. for the most part, the best knob labels have been done by Boss. any noob or metalhead can understand what the knobs say. you might take it lightly, but man, you'd be surprised to know that most manufacturers have no clue how to label knobs, or put them in a very intuitive and logical way.

i started out with Boss pedals, and it was only after i tried a lot of boutique pedals, is when i started to appreciate the little things Boss did right.

this post seems like a Boss advertisement lol but i really do mean what i said.

couldn't agree with you more. You stomp on them, stage dive on them, you kick them, throw them at your enemy's thick face  and its still intact! Hell, a friend of mine accidentally dropped his 2 boss pedals 3 floors down and still working like nothing happened!

acquired this old school MIJ Boss DF-2 about a month ago through a trade. love the sound.



it's basically a DS-1 but with a feedbacker (i think). another thing that I noticed is that it sounds way different than the non-MIJ DS-1's I've tried before. because of this, I'm starting to believe the "myth" that the MIJ Boss pedals sound better than the non-MIJ ones

Question mga sir.

I use Boss NS2-MV Shredhead, pag solo, or nasa house lang ako nag gigitara, responsive naman si NS2 walang noise (Amplifier 20watts Marshall, & 60watts stagg ampli). Pero when it comes to gigs or studio practice, mafeedback na hindi nag rerespond actively si NS2, need kong bawasan pa yung volume ko sa guitar para kumagat si NS2. FYI mostly setup ko is full gain/3:00 yung setup ko sa shredhead, sa amps(Mids-8:00, Treble-12:00, Bass 2:00)   

Anung cause kaya nito? need ng pots upgrade? nakaka affect yung mic sa studio/gigs?

Boss pedal collector here..looking for Boss CE2 at Boss DM2 straight swap sa mint Fulltone Choralflange...yun na lang kulang at makumpleto na hehe..

[XFree]

frankly speaking I think I had at somepoint in time almost all the boss pedals there is available in the market today, either Id tweaked mod them then resell it again.

but for all times sake the best pedal I like in boss are the ff:

CE-5 moded (change one cap. only made a huge analog feel)
FZ-5 Fuzz
DD-3
OS-2


SD-1 is good but I sold it again anyway, but there is a clone made by denio sd-10 patterned to the sd-1, compared it side by side, And I must say the denio sounds fuller...just my opinion, still I own it and is a keeper though its cheap
BD-2 is good also but sold it for the same reason I have for the sd-1, theres something missing in its tone, same with the DS-1, DS-2 is almost good but too harsh so is the MT-2, TR-2  can be good after a 1 cap tone mod change...but as you go along you don't really need a tremolo since you have the trem bar.haha, I could go on reviewing each pedal but to keep it short

the OS-2 is a real gem so is the FZ-5 for their drive pedals

For all boss pedals lovers
I would say that modding their pedal really makes the sound different but still the best tone still is at their stock state.
