Compact pedal control layout

I built a set of Boss stomps, based on the 2 control type such as the SP-1, the 3 control like the DM-2 and the distinctive original 4 control of the BF-2. I know there are many different 4 control Boss pedals but I'm not making any of those for the moment.

What I need to know is, are there any missing from my list of 3 control types? So far, I have the following:

BD-2
CS-2
DM-2
DS-1 (Plus 40th anniversary variant)
FZ-3
OC-2
OD-3
PH_1r
SD-1
TR-2

I'm not interested in things that have different controls, such as the DM-3, just strictly those with the classic style control knobs such as the ones listed above. If I missed any, please let me know.

I think I have all bases covered with the 2 and 4 control versions.

For reference, I've attached an image of the pedals I made, including the GE-7, which AFAIK, has only that one and the bass versions.

FZ-5 has the classic 3 control layout, although the small knob is a three way selector. Does that fit?

FRV-1 also has the classic 3 control layout

Thanks for the info. Yes, the FZ-5 counts, since the controls look the same as the others.

Ah yes. I'd totally forgotten about that one. Many thanks.

There are also the Waza versions of three of the pedals you already have:

BD-2w
DM-2w
SD-1w

There's a nice visual timeline of all the Boss compacts (up to 2017) here: https://www.boss.info/uk/promos/40th_an ... ct_pedals/

Scroll down to the "Compact Pedal History" bit at the bottom of the page.

Seen that, and it's not bad but not complete AFAIK, so I can't trust it as a resource.

Re: Waza versions; I'm not interested in those. Maybe for a later build but I have to draw a line somewhere.

Thanks, anyhow. :)

What do you reckon it's missing?

Well, if it is complete, I happily stand corrected. :)

I was under the impression it was an overview, rather than a complete list.
