Any opinions on the AW-2? I couldn't see much mention of it in the threads.

I think AW-2 is rather difficult to get a good sound out of, there are many variables.
For auto.wah sound I like TW-1 and FT-2 much more, never tried AW-3.

I had AW-2, AW-3 and FT-2 for comparison. Ended up with FT-2. AW-2 was fun but very noisy with distortion. FT-have a manual mode. So does the AW-3 but I'm not sure if the same kind of exp-pedal can be used.

Here's a few threads I found. I had to use an external search engine - I use Altavista and limited the search to BossArea.

Cheers Laurie. Reading now.

Wonder why they didn't come up on my search? At least one was fairly recent... sorry for duplicating threads.

Anyhow, there's an AW-2 in a local shop - people seem to have mixed opinions, but it doesn't seem to be rated as much of a classic... if it's still there after payday, I might try it out.

The AW-2 is one of the handful of Boss pedals that I dislike. The tone-sucking on bypass mode is very noticeable. There are better sounding envelope filters out there.

The AW-2 works best when it's before a compressor in the pedal chain.

i have two TW-1s and an AW-2. Bought the AW-2 in the mistaken belief that it would be a newer TW-1. Doesn't come close to the TW-1 i'm afraid. Sits in its box collecting dust.
