In all these years, I think this is the biggest board that I've ever seen you use.... love it! Those old DC-2s are really great, aren't they? I love mine. It is nice in this strange way to just push a button and that's what you get. No knobs, no time wasting. Just turn it on and run with it. I recently acquired an old BF-2 Flanger too and it actually does great chorus tones as well. After so many years of always looking to improve my old favorites, I am starting to return to them.. old Rats, Sovtek Big Muff, a lot of Boss stuff, etc. I've got nothing to prove. If it sounds right, then it is right! I am starting to amass a small Boss collection even, all MIJ where possible. I'm up to 7 so far with a few more that I really want.
It definitely is out of character for me going this big!i love sharin foo wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 6:03 pmIn all these years, I think this is the biggest board that I've ever seen you use.... love it!

I built this all-Boss (almost all MIJ) board back in March for fun. It was quite a nice challenge to source all the models.i love sharin foo wrote: ↑Wed Jun 30, 2021 6:03 pmIn all these years, I think this is the biggest board that I've ever seen you use.... love it!

That is a great board!!! I always had this notion that Boss was too "generic" for what I wanted. I've finally began to listen with my EARS Unfortunately though, the older Boss stuff is selling for more than it ever has, so it's not the cheaper route anymore. I have a few right now that are at the top of my list: HM-2, PS-2, VB-2, DD-2. I have owned all of those at least once before with the exception of the VB-2... I've never had one of those... YET.johnnysomersett wrote: ↑Fri Jul 02, 2021 1:02 am

The PH1 was super super early (1978!) and I ended up selling it for quite the sum of money
I was the same for many many years then came to the realisation that, hey, if it's good enough for Prince, then it'd be good enough for mei love sharin foo wrote: ↑Sat Jul 03, 2021 9:59 amThat is a great board!!!

Here's my little collection so far:
That Cheese Source tho.i love sharin foo wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 4:30 amOkay, for your viewing pleasure is the latest mass of aural destruction that I've created. Excessive? Yes, it certainly is. But that was the point. It's three different boards. I'll post them in order of signal chain. The copper hammertoe pedal is a really wide range Rangemaster that I built and the Big Muff has a bubble font Sovtek circuit inside (I bought the enclosure empty years ago). The emphasis here is on delay and loops.
There's more than a few I'd happily cherry-pick from each to put into one 'super ultimate fighter' board, but I understand the logic behind having them split like this.i love sharin foo wrote: ↑Fri Jul 23, 2021 4:30 amOkay, for your viewing pleasure is the latest mass of aural destruction that I've created.
