List of Boss pedals you have owned

Post by Mike »

I think this is correct and it’s more than I would have originally imagined

BD-2 blues driver
DD-3 digital delay
DD-5 digital delay
DD-20 giga delay
DF-2 super feedbacker & distortion
DS-1 distortion
DS-2 turbo distortion
GE-7 equalizer
HM-2 heavy metal
OC-2 octave
OD-2R turbo overdrive
OD-3 overdrive
SD-2 super overdrive

I own none right now but they all meant something to me

CH-1 Super Chorus: Given this broken, repaired it and it was the standard chorus on my rock covers pedal board. Currently on the shelf.
TU-2 Tuner: My go-to pedal board tuner for years, but currently on the shelf as the M9 has a tuner.
TR-2 Tremolo: Gift from Rob prog. Currently on the shelf.
EH-1 Enhancer: Can't resist a bargain, never used live. Whereabouts currently unknown.
VE-2 Vocal Enhancer: Tried for harmonising in the soul band, vocalist didn't like it. Currently used for vocal reverb on JamKazam sessions.

DS-1 Distortion
DS-2 Super Distortion
CE-2 CE-3 Chorus
OBD-3 Bass Overdrive

Still like DS-2. CE-2 was technically my brother’s because our older cousin gave it to us when my brother was a much more accomplished guitarist with a nicer amp. I concealed the Ibanez DML10 he gave us with it though so it’s ok, plus I owned tons of chorus pedals that were nicer than the Boss later on and have a DOD FX65 on my board now.

edit- whoops, it was actually a CE-3 for sure, and I did have an OBD-3 Bass Overdrive (yellow OD-3 equiv for bass gtr) but never used it and sold it on eBay.

I don't think I've owned any apart from a DD3, but I've had two of those. One bought off Rob Progrockabuse in 2009 and then sold in 2015, but I missed it so bought another one last year.

When you press the accelerator past halfway it doesn’t actually go any faster, but the engine noise distorts

OS-2 my main driver before I got some carl martins. Not sure if i still have it (edit: found it)
PS-3 my favourite one, bought a replacement one immediately, after my first PS-3 died
DM-2 I borrowed (stole) this one from a venue we once played. It seemed it was collecting dust at the office of the fat drunk venue manager, probably forgotten by a band years ago, so I thought I would put it to good use instead. Sold it for $$$ some weeks later. I guess this doesnt count in my “owned� list?
RC-2 still on my pedalboard

I think you “owned� the venue manager.

Especially if it was Noirie.

This thread made pick up the guitar again and plug the OS-2 to the ‘ol AC15. What a great pedal it really is, indeed! The od/dist mix knob makes it so versatile

Ds-1 bought new as a teenager with duo sonic, used all personal savings, sold it years later
Tu-2, got it free, used for years, gave it to a friend
Ds-1 for 20€ after someone failed trying to mod it, got it fixed and its still in use
Ds-1 old one without box for £50, still have it. Louder than the one above, maybe didnt fix it after all
Tu-2 for cheap, gave it to bass player
Tu-3 new, in use
Os-2 got with another pedal for free, kinda fun but not my thing, use it for 70s mixer direct sounds. Would prob be great with blend.
Ds-1 broken one, got it for 10€, kept box, gave it to random sound guy at gig who asked if he can have it
Fb-2 no box for 40€ from some guy who offloaded gear during first covid spring, havent tried it yet
Bd-2w used from local shop, my main drive pedal
Cp-1x reverb from scotland, my main comp pedal
Rv-6 bought it from young dude who absolutely and deeply hated it, i like it though, now my main reverb

Maybe thats all. I tend to buy Boss when I see one cheap, dont really care what type of effect. They make good presents and also tend to sound fine.
