I don't mind the look of it but I'm wondering how the functionality of the 4 control pedals is affected by the layout.

From an aesthetics standpoint, I rather like the blue control knobs.

Nope. Nah. Uh uh.

Stinks of an annuity revenue cash grab. Like when BMW made users pay a subscription to use the already installed seat heater (no I don't drive a BMW).

Plus. "COSM".

It ain't COSM; they ditched that a long time ago. Digital, yes, COSM, no.

Not my thing but I can see it finding a use with some people.

I note it includes (as a download) the BF-2. Nice one, Boss, now can we have the real thing, pretty please with sugar on?

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.

Everybody knows the old "flip over the plate" method, which doesn't work on many pedals, and everyone probably knows about the bike chain links method, too. I have several pedals which don't like having the base flipped over and the bike chain thing never appealed to me. I like the immediacy of Dual...

I want a BF-2w or I'm taking my ball and going home. :stamps feet:

You'll notice the old style numerals are, by and large, not there, nor is the old style lower case e. There may be a few others missing that I haven't noticed.

Despite numerous searches, nothing worthwhile ever showed up until this one:

It's not complete but it's pretty good, for all that.
