Re: Boss pedals you miss
I feel like I shouldn't have parted with either of my HM-2's - I didn't really know what to do with them at the time, and I think now they would make a nice contrast to my usual dirt.
Let's turn this around too, though - which pedals have you kept that you are absolutely glad you did?
For me, that's:
- the FRV-1, rather than thinking a boutique pedal would outperform it. It's been on my board since 2009!
- the TE-2, just because I enjoy messing around with it more than I'd enjoy selling it. Does one thing, but nothing else does that thing
- the OD-1X - sometimes I love it, mostly I can't stand it. But what would I do if I was in a love phase and didn't have it? Very much a part time board member, but those one week stands..man oh man!

Wow that's really the first time I hear that one as a favorite. That's very cool. Liked the pedal, just couldn't find a use for it with the other pedals I already had.
As far as turning things around, I could NOT lose my BB-1X. It's what I always looked for in a bass driver. No noise, great dirt, easy to dial to what I want it to sound like, really a workhorse on my bass board.

Re: Boss pedals you miss
The MZ-2 is a discontinued unit, that can make much noise, if used in the wrong pedal chain. But when you start to understand how to make it work, you’ll never let it out. I bought 3, but whenever I’ll find one I’ll buy it again and again (I know I’m mad Pepe knows)

Sclitheroe, that's a good idea for a new thread! You should start it up We need as many new topics as possible to grow!sclitheroe wrote: ↑Wed Sep 12, 2018 12:41 amLet's turn this around too, though - which pedals have you kept that you are absolutely glad you did?

I have my first SYB-3 since 1996, followed me everywhere, it's my first real synthesizer and I spent so much time playing with it.
I think I would never let go now my FB-2 I picked up one year ago, and I wouldn't believe at the time it became so important in my pedalboard.

Re: Boss pedals you miss
Definitely my DC-2. I paid $40 way back when, and there was another identical one I passed on at the time. If I had only known then what I know now.
And my MIJ DD-3. I've got a Taiwanese-made DD-3 and it just doesn't sound the same.
