Asking the question on this forum is probably the way to go 
The most collectable compact pedals are probably the
SP-1, SG-1 and VB-2
after these you have the
PH-1, PH-1r, OD-1, TW-1, GE-6, DM-2, DM-3, DC-2, DC-3, CS-1, PN-2 and CE-2
I may have forgotten some but these usually sell for more than the average price of a used Boss pedal.
Prices differ a lot but check out the price guide on http://www.prepal.com for a rough idea about what you'll have to pay. |

| i'll add some pedals for you that you can collect as well. OC-2, but with the pedal name Octaver instead of Octave. DC-3, but with the name Digital Space D instead of Digital Dimension. DF-2, but with the name Super Distortion & Feedbacker instead of Super Feedbacker & Distortion. |

| I picked up one myself and it's a worthy addition to any Boss collection. As far as value goes, I've seen them anywhere from $30-$100 depending on the condition/box/manual/current demand. It did have one of the shortest production runs of any of the Boss pedals, along with the PW-2 that came out at the same time. Over the long haul, I believe it would take a notable guitartist using one in a high enough profile situation where people would wonder, "How did they get THAT tone?" and then if word got out that it was a Boss XT-2, because of the low supply and high demand - you could see a rise in price. But without that happening, I think you paid a fair amount and it will stay in that price range. |

| PQ-4 is also worth looking for, rather new but relatively rare. |

| bout the XT2, yep, few of them were manufactured. you can get great sounds out of it but it might take some time. i got mine for almost 5 months now and still i cant get stable setting. so i guess i have to let it go. it looks good though. :) |

| Got to agree with you about the looks of the XT-2. The red metallic is a great colour. I just recently got mine so I haven't put it through all the tests yet. |

Just bought a GE-7 ...
Combined my XT2 with the ge7 (mids boost) and ...
WOW !!!!
I'm trying to figure out a fuzz setting on the xt2, and kinda warm and thicken the tone with the ge7 ...
you guys should try it before getting rid of the xt2 ... ~
tried the FZ3 the other day ..
gotta say ... very disappointed ...~
the XT2 is even harsher than a fuzz ... wazzup ?? |

Try getting a FZ-2 nebo. I think that you'll like that fuzz alot more than the FZ-3. It has alot more choices in how the fuzz is tuned plus it has a gain boost feature that can really give your amp a good kick in the ummmmm well you know.  |
