Can't wait for the review on Wednesday haha.
Haha!
It won't be as long winded.
Probably along the lines of: I love it, works and sounds great, does just what I need it to do, and it does more stuff than I'll ever use.

Re: Boss IR-2 with footswitch

I don't have my IR2 yet, it's arriving tomorrow, so I can't answer with direct experience. By this time Wednesday, I will have a full report... However, I can relate some things I picked up reading the IR2 manual (to familiarize myself before it's arrival), how the IR2 is intended to be used, and al...

Re: New pedals in the design phase

Very cool!
I had a Mutron Bi-Phase for a short time 30 years ago. The parallel and series phasing options were really cool for getting some wild sounds.

Re: Electrolytic capacitors - a perspective

Yeah, I look at 20 year old caps as something to keep an eye on. Once they hit 30 years, maybe not a bad idea to start replacing, and look at some of the resistors, too. I have found that it's not a massive difference when replacing working filter caps with direct replacements, unless they were uppe...

Re: New Boss IR-2 Amp & Cabinet

If one popped up for under my price, I'd snag it. It's like the BB1X, when it came out almost 10 years ago, they were around $160ish new. I liked it, but decided to wait. About 3 months later, one popped up used on ebay for $65 shipped. I jumped on that. Very happy with it. For years, they were rare...

Re: New Boss IR-2 Amp & Cabinet

Well... Going on nearly 3 months waiting for my IR2 to arrive! Seemingly, BOSS is inbetween production runs, as many places don't have them, and they are popping up used for nearly new prices. I'm patient, been looking forward to this, and still have my two other IR 'amp' rigs in the meantime, thou...

Re: Let's see those pedalboards!

...and this is how I'm currently using the bargain BCB6/PSM5 I got a few weeks ago. The "need a boost or some dirt?" board. The SD1 is my B50 version. https://uniim1.shutterfly.com/render/00-0bRNyLnJL0pZOju37gIGvAJPjGm5zan3rARPapS3bn3vaUPlnCPlFwGg5OpFQeknUnDnu4gHHWpfyYq5WwzmNg?cn=THISLIFE&res=medium...

Re: Let's see those pedalboards!

Well I change months ago : only synthesizers, no effects... except the first SYB-3 is set for a fuzz or an octave. The second one is a "space" sound and the SYB-5 is for drone with LFO sound. Ha! Like minds... This is my 'add some synth bass' board. Also, 'what to do with this extra TU2?' board. ht...
