Re: Boss EH-2 Enhancer by ChatGPT

Here is a list of CS-3 pedals I put together years ago, showing the various versions. http://www.bossareaforum.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=463&p=3566&hilit=dbx+chip#p3567 Well remembered. I took the opportunity to update the chronological release list at the first post. http://www.bossareaforum.c...

Re: Boss EH-2 Enhancer by ChatGPT

Interesting. I'd like to give that a go but unfortunately do not have an NS-2 or a CS-3 (although I have other compressors). I've had a bit of a new pedal drought recently so maybe it's time to put an end to that? :twisted: Since you already have an EH-2, more difficult to find, the others are easi...

Re: Boss EH-2 Enhancer by ChatGPT

Great to see you back Old-Iron! Good to see the EH-2 Enhancer getting some well deserved attention. I had one in my live rig for several years. Hey Doc, thanks. I just saw your post on instagram, nice pic. There is no service manual for the EH-2 floating around in the internet, only the schematics....

Re: Boss EH-2 Enhancer by ChatGPT

Old_Iron! Great to see you again! 8-) Thanks Pepe. I'm back from the depths of my cave to conclude what I promissed long ago about the EH-2, as a priest of this model that I am. Great to see you back Old_Iron! This has inspired me to get my EH-2 out and have a play. How accurate do you think the Ch...

Boss EH-2 Enhancer by ChatGPT

Howdy! Eons ago I praised this pedal as a great tool to recover high frequencies lost to long guitar cables, and as a great partner for a NS-2 and a CS-3 to play beautifuly clean . That combination allows the compressor/sustainer to compress without to "muffle" the sound and the sustainer to sustain...

Re: When did DS-2 go to all silicon diodes?

Ah yes, google. If I didn't have an advanced electrical engineering degree this type of sloppy description from the internet likely wouldn't annoy me anywhere near as much :? The "sloppy description from the internet" presented by google came from the Wikipédia page that you linked. https://en.wiki...

Re: When did DS-2 go to all silicon diodes?

With sincere apologies for not letting go of this subject... this is not the right description of a transistor. A diode is like a non-return valve. Current will flow "unimpeded" in one direction, and not at all in the other. A BJT is like a faucet - the amount of current flowing between Collector a...
