I think the HM-2W will have the switch like this: S: HM-2 ; C: HM-3.
Well, from a purely selfish point of view, I hope not as I have both of those :lol:

Can see it would make sense though.
Yeah, me too.

I was hopping for something like PH-1rW and BF-2W.

Maybe that will be the next release.

The guitar world does also need an OD-2W . I don't have a clue why BOSS discontinued the fabulous OD-2R.

Although we all have our hopes and dreams about the next waza craft release, and Boss being a bit unpredictable, I can see a pattern in the waza craft line.

Aspects like: vintage appeal (AKA hype), analog circuit, useful nowadays and simple to use, seems to be a possible guide to predict future releases.

I don't believe in a digital waza craft, because they would have to update hardware and software, thus make more sense to release it as a new "regular" model.

Another thing to consider is the natural desire to have a complete basic line, with at least one of the most used effects and tools, like: one delay, one chorus, one tuner, one vibrato/tremolo, one fuzz, etc.

Therefore, a phaser and a flanger are missing.

Looking here to my collection, I can see very few possibilities for future releases, besides a flanger and a phaser, an equalizer (GE-7W black painted), a noise suppressor (NS-2W also black), the most expected DS-1W and, yes Pepe, the amazing OD-2W with it's transistors architecture that sounds so amp like.

I think there is no place for "odd balls" like: SG-1W, PQ-4W, TW-1W, XT-2W, PSM-5W (that would be really funny), etc.

But Boss is a "surprise box" and all that I said could be just plain wrong.

Boss announcement due 1st Dec. Looks like a chicken head knobbed fuzz. Teasers are out again today.

Not looking like an FZ-2w then; not enough knobs.

Does the switch say "TRIM" on the right side? Chickenhead knobs on a BOSS pedal are highly unusual.

Holy cow!!!

The only thing I said right is that Boss is a surprise box.

A Tone Bender ???

If so, the switch may be MKI and MKII.
