New addition - an ST-2

Post by laurie » Sun Aug 17, 2025 6:37 pm

I had one years ago that was sold as part of The Great Pedal Purge Of 2013.

I've been waiting years for another one at a reasonable price. Got this one, MIB for CAD$70

This is for sure a very nice looking pedal with a promising name. I bought a used exemplar a few months ago and I quickly sold it on again. I have tried a few digital BOSS dirt pedals and just as the other ones* the Power Stack was not my cup of tea. Honestly, it sounded really awful through my tube amp.

With minimum gain into the Vibrolux it adds a little bit of hair. Sounds awful at higher settings - like the distortion in a cheap transistor amp.

I had one, but since I used an amp and speaker sim through headphones I found the low end to be very tiring on my ears.
