1) The best new BOSS product of 2020 in your opinion?
Nothing that I'd buy really, although the Waza Tonebender is a cool idea.
It will be published in the second quarter of 2021, that's why I didn't vote for this one. I think that I'm going to try to purchase one. Hopefully it won't be too expensive and not too limited in production numbers.
If you guys want a tone bender, I can probably do a small production run of them...

1) The best new BOSS product of 2020 in your opinion? - I've not tried any of them but the RC-5 looks pretty good (probably not enough for me to replace my RC-3 though)
2) The best new non-BOSS product of 2020 in your opinion? - I've not bought anything that's been released this year but probably something from EHX (they've released about 400 new pedals)
3) Your most satisfying purchase of the past year? - Boss DC-2w
4) Your most disappointing purchase of the past year? - Haven't had one tbh
5) Your "brand crush" of 2020?
6) Best non-FX purchase of the year? (gear wise) - Probably some cables to sort out my mess of a "studio" :lol:
7) Your favorite guitar used during 2020? - Fender Johnny Marr Jaguar
8) Your favorite amp used during 2020? - Marshall Class 5
9) Your best deal/steal/bargain of last year? - Don't think I bought anything that qualifies tbh
10) Best service award to any retailer/individual etc.? - Focusrite were very helpful when I started having issues with my Scarlett interface. Turned out it was power related and, even though the device is long, long out of warranty, they sent me a replacement free of charge.
11) The best new album/artist/live event of 2020? - Unfortunately didn't get to any live events this year, for fairly obvious reasons. Enjoyed the new albums from Throwing Muses and Porridge Radio.

not sure, I think I'll eventually own the GT1000core and the RC pedals though.

easily CBA blooper

4) Your most disappointing purchase of the past year?
ehx hum canceller... it actually works pretty well but it adds a strange flanging comb filter you can hear high up on the next but the real disappointment was just having to finally accept that my favorite p90 pickups are simply too noisy for recording and too noisy for most stage anyways



6) Best non-FX purchase of the year? (gear wise)
9) Your best deal/steal/bargain of last year?
Squier CV starcaster for $250 !

7) Your favorite guitar used during 2020?
always that squier JMJM...

8) Your favorite amp used during 2020?
ahahaha I've gone FRFR! but I do love these musicman combos my sister band leaves at the space
11) The best new album/artist/live event of 2020?
tennis - swimmer.
