Re: New BOSS pedals!

That DS2 is most certainly a unicorn! Was not aware it's a discrete design.

Re: New BOSS pedals!

I was wondering what PQ-4 you were writing about ... it's the one from fuzzbuzzfuzz, from page #1, eight years ago! Anyway, really an astonishing view! The FDR-1 is cooll I don't particularly love the fact that tremolo comes after reverb in the old Fender days, but you can achieve some really great...

Re: New BOSS pedals!

Wow! PQ4 is rare enough, let alone so clean!

I have a FDR-1 incoming today. Going to try pairing it with my TC Impulse to see how it does as an ampless rig.

Re: Eight years BossAreaForum

Been here for 7.5 years! For as long as I live, forums/boards will always reign supreme. The organized layout is sooooo much better than a seemingly infinite social media page that requires a search every time one needs to access potential information. Same with AI searches, I don't find they are pr...
