Well, I think their standard compact pedals are still going strong. But we all could give them some advice which pedals urgently need an improved follow-up model. AW-3, PH-3 and ODB-3, yes I'm looking at you! 100% agree with PH-3 and AW-3 (which is MISERABLE SOUNDING). BB-1X I feel is quite the upg...

it was as very slim carbon copy paper I thought it was just a layer of insulation but it was folded up. may '82 someone bought a Ross Flanger and Boss CE-2 for $250 total, so these things were always pretty expensive! That was the good old "list price" era of gear where buying most gear was like bu...

Thanks! It does feel good, but honestly it surprised me. When I'm doing repairs etc I don't really think about it - it is "sanity maintenance" (my job is all headspace, and the repairs and builds give something tactile). We all share this interest because we get a lot out of it. I'd wager that musi...

Awesome!
It's really cool that the vast majority of your signal chain is a result of a ton (or 907Kg) of your DIY expertise!

Nicely done!

An iconic use of the MXR 6 band is none other than Tom Scholz, he used one for creating his famous, pre-Rockman era tone.
Look at that EQ curve...

I'm curious what you think of the models in the IR2, zentropa.
I was presuming "Twn" "Tweed" "Crunch" and "Brit" would be my jams, but no...
"Clean" and "Modded" sound/perform best for me. Funny, both are BOSS/Roland MDP creations.

Score! $100 is a silly good deal!

This is an interesting thread. Makes me want to get one of the Strymons to try out optical compression. Guitarwise, I don't really use ever use compression outside of dirt/overdrive. My only guitar compressor is a 1980 MXR Dynacomp. It often does what I need, when I need it, when I'm playing clean a...
