New Boss Pedal - Plugout FX PX-1

[BearBoy]

Yeah, it's a great pedal. The only one of the three newly announced ones I don't have is the MZ-2. Seem to recall you have (had?) one Pepe?

I have two at the moment, one in almost New Old Stock condition with the box, the other one in beat-up shape, that I had to repair (gruesome adventure!). It is a nice pedal. Not my absolute favourite, but it has a few cool sounds.

I have an MZ-2 in pieces. Bought faulty. One of those projects that's been at the back of the workbench for a long time.

Swap all the ribbon cables! These have been driving me mad when I was repairing an MZ-2 earlier this year.

The May releases are now available for purchase in the Boss Effect Loader app and they've announced three more for release in September:

• HM-2 Heavy Metal

• HM-3 Hyper Metal

• MZ-2 Digital Metallizer

The three Metal pedals are now available and they've announced the next three for release in January 2027:

• CE-3 Chorus

• FZ-3 Fuzz

• PQ-4 Parametric Equalizer

[Pepe]

Very interesting choices! Has BOSS finally become fond of its Parametric Equalizer, or has there been certain demand by the users? The CE-3 is surprising as well, to some degree. I have never liked it as much as the CE-2, because the LFO of the follow-up model is not a gentle sine or triangle wave, instead it produces the infamous seasick chorus.
