Is this true ? 2 Boss pedals, modeling 2 fender amps ?
If this is, it's the end of an era. With those pedals, the continuous line of Boss compact pedals would be broken, IMHO. It's not effect. It's something else.
EDIT : yes, it is, it's on bossus.com
Even the fuzz is digital. What a shame...
To tell the truth, I'm sad, right now. I can see Boss changing. I'm getting older... |

Yes, I also think it's quite a change in direction - not sure how I feel about it at this stage... Maybe the prices of the older, rarer pedals will go up now? You never know...
Still, I MUST START SAVING...GOT TO HAVE....
Bloody G.A.S. |

Great, can you give me the serial number?
I'll calculate an updated OS-2 monthly production number based on it. |

In addition to the 3 already mentioned there's the FBM-1 (Fender Bassman) and FDR-1 (Fender Deluxe Reverb). Are these COSM amp simulations in a stompbox? I can't wait.
Don't care too much about the Deluxe Reverb one (i am getting an EHX Wiggler), but it looks like Boss might have out done themselfs with the BASSMAN model !!! |

Hey I love the fact that people have been talking about more COSM pedals since the AC-3 and now we know what they were planning all along!!!
I love the look of the pedals but the test will be how they sound.
Looks like Fender has been busy too! http://www.fender.com/vgstrat/
I really am interested in the DN-2 also. A pedal that gives you more finger control would be very useful for me!

Maybe, though you might argue that the RC-2 isn't an effect but a recording device.
This isn't really that much of a shock to me though. You could see it coming several years ago when Boss discontinued all of their analog modulation effects and brought out the PH-3, BF-3, and digitalised the Chorus pedals. It was apparent then that Boss would move with the technological advancements of the industry. With the advent of the multi-mode/voice compact pedals from Digitech and Line6 consumers expect more from a fuzz than a single voice (maybe why the FZ-3 failed), and the only way you can do that competitively is with digital modelling. |

i've just been looking for the last few months at buying a bassman reissue and now this!!
it's a sign from holy god if you ask me!!
Hi Controlfreak! How much regular Boss pedals in Ireland? Are there good shops in Dublin? Thanks! 
hey Metallium!
there are a few shops in dublin alright. musicmaker is a good one and there's a little shop a street over from it that's very good too. prices for new pedals are comparable to anywhere else. bout 100euro for BF-3, TR-2 etc. CS-3 is about 75 and the big ones are bout 200 DD-6 and PS-5 etc.
cash converters are a good source of second hand boss pedals. there are cash converter shops in all of the citys i think. dublin, cork, limerick etc.
i know more places in cork and limerick as that's where i live.
are you thinking of paying a visit?!!!! |
