Well this is a happy accident

I had no idea this is the haven for all people SBZ until I registered and saw the responding email. Nice to see some familiar names here.
Never been a Boss fan over the last few decades, but an MT-2, SD-1, DS-1, PH-3 and CE-5 later, I can firmly say I love these things (even if half my PH-3 modes oddly no longer work).
They stay firmly on my direct-to-PA board in my Post-Punk band, and can't rave about them enough.
Looking forward to chatting gear here.

Welcome back! For me it's a surprise to hear that you have never had BOSS pedals in the past. The StompBoxZone was the follow-up forum of the original Bossarea Forum, this one here went back to the roots (name-wise).

I just repaired a BOSS DD-6 that also had a faulty mode switch. I'm very certain that your PH-3 could be fixed as well. I bet that we are going to encounter several failing mode switches in digital BOSS pedals the future. I wrote it down
here.

Thanks, I'll have a read through that.
Was so infuriating when I first got it, the footswitch won't turn the pedal on if it's set to a faulty mode, making the switch look like it's knackered. Then only having 1/2 of the modes available. I only wanted a simple Phaser pedal, nothing too fancy haha.
The modes that do work, sound great, but can't help wondering when the working modes will finally give up on me.

Welcome back!
FWIW, I love message boards much more than social media groups. More personal.

I think anyone here will agree.
Forums were here first, the whole social media stuff came later.
