Which Pedal Would You Like To See "Waza"fied Next?

Post by Ptak » Fri Oct 05, 2018 4:02 am

For me I always wanted to see an SD-2w. The original was such a good idea but the weak "crunch" mode wasn't the best. An upgraded unit would be so versatile BUT I've recently been A/B'ing the compressors including the CP-1x and a CS-2w would be my #1 on the list. I love the squishiness of it and the fact that it darkens your tone but it would be amazing if they improved the clarity and increased the available attack.

An OD-2w is on my wishlist. I still don't know why they threw that model overboard and kept the mediocre DS-2 in their product line-up. My brothers fell in love with my OD-2R, because it sounds and performs just right. A Waza Craft model could have more low-end to make it more suitable for analog synths and maybe for bass guitar as well.

I'd like to see a DS-1w, I think that would be an easy win for Boss, because it's not a complicated circuit - the custom mode would probably end up being mostly an EQ tweak, maybe some change to the gain or clipping characteristics.

I do like how with their current pair of releases, they did one dirt pedal and one modulation - I wouldn't mind if they kept up that release pattern.

This is such a good question.

I always wanted them to make a DC-2w. (By the way, am I the only one rewatching the teaser video and going OH MY GOD THEY AD SOLD IT SO BAD BUT WE WERE TOO FOCUSED ON HIGH GAIN) Now that it's done, what's next?

I'll go left field:

How about something for bass? Although they seem to go the "X" route with bass pedals, maybe a Waza SYB-3 that fixes tracking a bit? I mean, it seems to be the prefered synth pedal but has its issues. I'd be on board.

OD-2w for dirt and SYB-3w for modulation.

I'd definitely be onboard with a OD-2w, having received an OD-2r in a past pedal tour.

Wishing for a DS-1w is probably redundant, you gotta believe that's in the pipeline, it's their all time best selling pedal. So expend the wishes on something else :)

I'll agree with this sentence just because they did the DS-1X (completely different pedal, I know) and 2 versions of a black DS-1.

It would be a no-brainer to go to DS-1 though.

I'd like to see an HM-2w. I'm not a big fan of the HM-2, but I think an HM-2w would sell. Especially when vintage pedals are over the $100 mark now.

That's another one I might give a shot if made.

I could maybe see them doing a BF-2w with either a BF-1 mode or an HF-2 mode.

Man that's a good idea. I love my HF-2 but sometimes I would need the deep flanging sounds I cannot get from it.
