I agree with what you said about not letting people on guitar forums decide your pedals for you. Forums can be helpful to understand the pros and cons of certain pedals, but everyone has different tastes and you should always get the pedals YOU want, not what someone else thinks is best. A good example of this is my Boss AC-2 Acoustic simulator. After a year of hesitation (caused by haters of that pedal on forums), I finally got it and it's absolutely fantastic! Turns out the reason it gets hated is because everyone just plugs them into guitar amps which isn't what it's designed for, they're for acoustic/bass amps or PA's, and for switching to acoustic tones mid-song, rather than a permanent replacement of an acoustic guitar.

Honorable mention for the OC-3. All of KZread acted like there was never a multi feature boss octave pedal when the OC-5 came out. Crazy.

One of the cool things about the Boss MS-3 (it's a multi FX but also a mini pedal switcher) is that it has the Tera Echo built in.

The rarest Boss pedal is surely the flood damaged PS-2 that I salvaged from a studio and never managed to fix that lives dismantled in a sandwich bag in my projects box?

Almost every shoegaze and ambient guitarist I know either owns/has owned/wants to own a Tera Echo. Thanks for letting that cat out of the bag Josh 😂

Some trivia: Boss compact pedals began to use a different font for the number in the model number and the arrows for the input & output jacks beginning with the BC-2 & FB-2 (Waza models excluded). Regarding the number four, the PQ-4 is the only Boss compact pedal to use that number so far, but it has been used elsewhere in the Boss product line. In Japanese, 4 can be pronounced as yon or shi, but shi is also the word for death, hence the superstition. I also commented earlier that I have all of these. I commented too soon. In all these years, I haven't purchased a PW-2 yet. If thw DB-5creferenxe counts, I don't have one of those yet, either. Bonus trivia: the XT-2 also had a short production life and was available around the time of the PW-2. I don't have one, but IMO, it's one of the best-looking Boss pedals. The XT-2's color scheme is similar to what was originally planned for the DS-2. The DS-1 was almost going to be called "Red Zone".

Your Production Team is amazing. The accompanying pics while you were describing Jonny Greenwood's tone is why I love this channel. Knowledge and humor!

The boss BC2 is my go to Overdrive. Absolutely amazing sound.

When I was 18 (in 1993) I got a little Boss catalogue in English from a dealer. I studied it front to back and I asked constantly to my english teachers about the words I didn't know. Google Translate wasn't invented yet. Some of these pedals appeared on that catalogue and I remember seeing some of them in the store. I became a pedal freak. I was more attracted to pedals and processors than the guitars or basses I played while they were playable, sounded good and stayed in tune..but man I have a drawer full of pedals and multifx... Including my first Boss DS1 bought in 1992. BTW I know a store in Barcelona where you can find the Tera Echo and the Multi Overtone.

I am absolutely in love with the BC-2. I bought it almost by accident because I originally wanted to buy a Tera Echo from a second hand shop but before sending it to me they realised that the power input wasn't working properly. So they offered me a discount to anything they had, and they didn't have many pedals so I settled for that one because BOSS and they were offering it for dirt cheap. I didn't expect it to be so damn versatile, it can go from just offering a warmer tone to a full on Brian May-esque distortion. Cannot recommend it enough if you have the opportunity to get one for cheap.

Parametric EQ’s are fantastic… in the right hands. But when accessible to those who don’t understand what they do, it can get real ugly in a hurry! Easily the worst bass tones I’ve ever heard in my live sound days were from players who had multiple EQs in their chain, which almost always included a parametric with the bass cranked, mids scooped, and the ‘frequency’ knobs all over the place. Definitely experiment with EQ in your practice space. Not on stage.

I bought an FB-2 years and years ago and never really got a lot out of it. Partly because I had a massive 2x12 Blues Deville that was already obscenely loud, and partly because my gig at the time was on bass. Fast forward to this year, and I'm writing and recording a solo album. I saw this video, saw your Why You Need Boost Pedals vid, and put the sumbitch back in my signal chain. It runs after an EQD Gray Channel and before a Walrus 385, and the quality and variety of tones I can get out of that drive stage (through a Supro Black Magick combo) is simply astonishing. Thanks for reminding me about this lovely hidden gem!

I REALLY want someone to make a clone of the BOSS PS-3, especially mode 7 or the "Cave In" sound and call it "Seafrost"

The Fat and Muscle controls on the PW-2 are pretty much at 100hz and 1khz, about 10db cut/boost at the extremes. Glad to see it getting some love.

That Power Driver was the only one I haven't seen. It rules! I played in a college band with a guy who had an 80s DF-2. The Feedback function was super cool. The distortion was a DS-1.

Man, this is good stuff. Interesting, informative, weird (in a GOOD way) and funny. Thank you so much. Love it!

The one with the 4 on it is pretty crazy. People probably don't really GET how taboo that number is to the Japanese.

I heard they don't even use it in elevators or license plates, lol.

Sounds like it got a three on it though, to me

@@m4ssee. That's right. They'll only use it if they absolutely HAVE to. And even then it's rare. Granted they are all about Custom and Tradition.

Pretty sure I've owned all of these at one point 😂

Yeah, I have too. At first I thought Josh was being ironic, but maybe not. Next video will be Boss pedals you've never seen including the DS-1, DD-3, etc., lol.

The Dyna Drive and Combo Drive both got my attention, I sort of live in clean Fender and slightly broken up Vox land, would be nice to get that without hauling around a bunch of amps. As always, super fun and informative show, thanks.

I personally would just like to say thank you, for the knowledge you've given. 🤘

MUAHAHAH I JUST SNAGGED A MINT IN BOX FEEDBACKER/ BOOSTER I actually had the pedal years ago when it was still in production but sold long ago so I've been looking for one for months, your demo of it made me so excited that I said screw it and pulled the trigger on a brand new one.

I’ve been considering the feedbacker boost for a while. Now I won’t be able to afford one.

You done goofed, son. Should’ve bought it instead of considering it!

I've owned a DN-2 for many years. I got it for $35 at a music store clearance. It's one of my favorite drive pedals. Glad to see it getting some love.

I'm surprised the FB-2 is so rare/special. In fact i bought this pedal 10years ago, it was my first Booster and also my first Boss pedal and has remained on my pedalboard since, also used the feedback function a lot!

Josh: Boss Micro-Rack series? Please tell me you’re familiar with these. I don’t want to let the cat out of the bag, but RBF-10 and RPH-10 are things you need to know and experiment with. I’ll even tell you why if you wanna know why...

@cc c the flanger and phasor not only can cover any sound you want out of pretty much any other analog flanger or phasor (including 100% wet vibrato on the flanger) but they have a C/V jack to sync LFOs, blend two LFO rates, invert LFOs, drive with an external envelope control or even feed a C/V from a synth sequencer/arpeggiator. It’s ridiculously powerful and if I didn’t already have one of each, I would hate myself for letting this secret out.

At 7:22, Josh says that Boss have never made a boost… the FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz, by Boss, has a gain, “boost”mode on it… so… 🤔

One of the things that impresses me about Josh is the way he can keep a straight face while saying the most bizarre funny things I’ve ever heard. So it is a super special treat to me when he loses it and laughs at his own comments… precious. Jhs should make a reel of just those snippets.

Love this guy. I am going to score some of his pedals soon.
