d ko lam kung underrated ba tong effect na toh or hinde pero, ung mga Boston HM distortion pedals/analogs, sobrang maganda ang tunog, napaka balanced, lalo na if you compare it with a  boss metalcore? mas clear ung tunog ng boston  :mrgreen:

as for underrated

Boss MD-2.....a lot of people hate this pedal and sell it dirt cheap. which works to my advantage. :lol:

IMHO yes it is difficult to handle but once you use it overtime, you'd get it. :-D

Behringer siguro oo. Pero Boston pedals are starting to be liked by more guitarists. Pag tumagal baka maging overrated pa Boston. :lol:

overrated: some boutique peds are too hyped. i had a barber trifecta once. kulang sa oomph in my opinion but then again the pedal art na mala-hippie shoulda been a sign for me. even the catalinbread v8 fuzz was much too gimmicky (and uber small to the point na it's in danger of flipping) sounding for live use -- though it's great for making your neighbors go crazy hehe 

underrated: some of the boston peds are pretty useful (e.g. EQ and dist are pretty good) . you just have to know which ones are crap. tulad nung mga modulation nila. my gawd yung iba naka todo na lahat uber nipis pa rin parang walang nangyayari sa tone

OT QUESTION: has anyone tried those ASHTON pedals? i stepped into a music store sa cubao yesterday and saw them. the delay was very cheap pero dehins ko binili kasi ala pa akong nabasang mga review. hmmm, mods should i start another thread about this para hindi OT?

Underrated: Imported Boutique Pedals, MIJ boss pedals
but how are these under-rated? people rave about them all the time.

I was gonna say the dano cool cat TOD is under rated din pero its widely acknowledged to be a one of the best ODs under $50. I think the boss OD3 doesn't get enough praise either. its one of the pricey-er mass produced ODs out there.

Overrated: Locally made pedals, majority of boss pedals and mass produced pedals

Underrated: Imported Boutique Pedals, MIJ boss pedals

Yup... Thats right.  It takes a lot of time, wisdom and money to buy and keep pedals to make one realize that imported boutique pedals really are worth their dough IF YOU HAVE THE CORRECT TUBE AMP TO MATCH.  Even ZVEX though at times hard to match really delivers the goods on the right Tube Amp.



the fact that you have to pick the "right amp" (whatever) means these pedals arent really versatile which is part of the criteria (for sure right?) of a good pedal. ergo, not really underrated, no.

locally made pedals? i dont think so but then again, thats what you think.

Maybe he has something better that we don't know about. LOL! Kidding

I love how the OD-3 sounds, I think I'd pick it over any other pedal in its price range. That's just me.

 Overrated: Boutique pedals ex.Analog man,ethos,T-rex,Xotic,H.B.E etc.They say if you have boutique pedals your tone is good and you have true bypass at the same time ''pogi'' sa pedal board, mas mahal mas maganda.That's why its overrated because some people tend to believe boutique pedals are better than anything else than stompboxes that doesnt have any 3pdt switch on it.Most of the time some people hear you after playing in a gig and someone comes close to you and looked at your pedal board and saw your old boss or boston pedal He would say ''ay corny boss ds-1, daming tone suck yan! I have a better one a Radial hot british its true bypass and its heavier sounding and it is 5 digits worth''..Now that sucks aint it.


 Underated: For me lahat ng murang pedals danelectro,dod,boss,digitech,boston kahit century or denio.I agree that boss pedals are underrated sa dami ng lumalabas na pedals ngayon,IMO Boss has a part of history in which they were one of the first to develop stompbox pedals in the 70's remember the roland sustainer which runs on 16 batteries?Without them walang kokopyahin na Circuit board diagram ang ibang effects companies. :-D  i'm not rich and i'm not a tone purist.What's important is what the ears hear and how you play and your ears like it and your bandmates liked it(If they dont liked it well thats another story).No matter what kind of pedal you have mura man o medyo mahal.Practicality lang siguro.Nasa pilipinas tau wala sa U.S.

 P.S: tama yung mga ibang forumers nasa timpla lang yan :-D and i dont agrue with anyone with my post.Its just my opinion, mine could be different from yours. so respeto lang po mga kapatid.

Underrated:



Bakit kasi 12VDC ang psu at baliktad ang Input/Output?  

You can easily nail those modern detuned chugs even through a very clean and bright amp like a Fender Twin.  Kinda muddy if you use with already big-bottom amps but it can sound great through combos.  Also works great as a hard rock dirt box.

Overrated: Boss DS-1.

Underrated: Ibanez TS-10. Andaming complaints sa cheap plastic na stomper, kaya madaling masira, or ayaw mag-off (ang pangit pa ng itsura). Ang dami ring kasing gumamit nito na sa solid state amp lang pinlug. Sa tamang tube amp, parang TS-808 (?) ang characteristics nito.
