I'm so glad others have said all these things about it, because my first thought was "Whut? What on earth is the point of this?"

Nice additions.

Thank you for the info but I really don't trust myself to do anything with it. I *was* reasonably competent with a soldering iron, but age and failing eyes have taken their toll. I'd much rather someone else did it.

I have a silver screw BF-2 which I bought from Reverb a few years ago, and is beginning to show its age. The switch is hit and miss, the signal dies away periodically and it's generally flakey all round. I cleaned the input/output jacks and have it running at 12v from my power supply (TrueTone 1Spot...

A BF-2w would be a great stocking filler for Christmas.

The DD-8 manual is a joke, too. It's very basic, and makes no mention of some of the important and useful functions. They're detailed in a downloadable version, fortunately.

Finally got myself a DD-8. Also got an EV-30 expression pedal which I'm using with my RV-6. Both of them do a great job but... The manual(s) for the DD-8 ain't great, even by Boss standards. The Warp mode, for example... there's absolutely no mention anywhere of using the foot switch to create the e...

I think it's high time the pedals were supplied without the rubber attached, but included if you really wanted to stick it on.

I get the idea behind the new bases - did you notice the previous version had even less space than the originals? - but it's not ideal.
