Hello Fourm,

I lurked for quite a while and finally registered. I am from Germany and am a guitar player and Rhodes fanatic.

My second ever pedal was a Boss DF-2 shortly followed by a CE-3 and a CS3 all bought new in the late 80s.

Over the years some more Boss pedals came and went. Most notable sales I regret: PN2 (again looking for one but prices are insane: bought the one I sold for 100€ and sold it for the same amount).

Then a couple of years ago I really got into Boss pedals again and here is my humble collection.

I also recently bought a RPQ10 and RCL10 but will part with them again since my curiosity of owning these has been fulfilled (I can still remember drooling over the Micro Rack series in the late 80s). I also sadly threw away the pocket manuals I had many years ago.

Best, Dominik

Hello, also from Germany!

That is a very pretty collection that you have there! What Rhodes model do you play? I have never ever touched a Rhodes, sadly. I'd really love to.

Welcome!

Hi Pepe,

A Rhodes Mark I from 1975. Wish I could play better (I am a guitar player) but I love the sound. I think I ran across your Kleinanzeigen account and was tempted to buy the DF2 but had already bought one with the funny noise. I also really would love to get my hands on a FT 2 but these are also rare and costly.

I had an impulse buy today and now am looking forward to a EH-2 (mainly for the Rhodes).

The idea is to have a small dedicated Rhodea Pedalboard (all Boss?):

EH2 -> GE7 (modded for lower noise) -> PH1 or PH2 (or maybe PH3, still missing from the collection)-> CE5 -from here on Stereo => DC2W -> PN2 to MXR or JC40 .

So I am missing the PN2 and plan on having a Ampero Mini there for panning and more options (half the price used of a PN2).

The small board in the picture with all the Choruses is the testboard for finding the Chorus version I like best. Interestingly the CE2 lost against the CE5. The CH1 gives a pronounced lower mids boost and thus also lost to the CE5. The CE5 into the DC2w gets very nice Tristereo Chorus Dynomypiano vibes.
