See my current Boss collection here: http://instagram.com/boss_pedal_project Episode #27: Boss FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz The Boss FZ-2 is a very cool fuzz pedal. It's also somewhat of a rare bird, with only an estimated 35,000 units being produced. It has three modes: Mode 1 creates a bass driven sound...

See my current Boss collection here: http://instagram.com/boss_pedal_project Episode #26: Boss DD-2 Digital Delay Yes! It's time to review the very first digital delay stompbox ever made, the one and only Boss DD-2! It's an amazing pedal that's quite sought after, and for good reason. The DD-2...

So some of you guys may have noticed, I'm demoing/ reviewing every Boss compact pedal ever. I've decided to condense everything in one thread. "The Boss pedal project" We all started with Boss pedals. like many on this site, I strayed in search of the best of the best, and went the boutique...

See my current Boss collection here: http://instagram.com/boss_pedal_project Episode #24: Boss BF-2 Flanger Way back during Episode 16, I demoed the Boss HF-2. That was my very first Boss Flanger pedal. As far as flangers go, that's one of my favorites. It's very musical and can be nice and...

See my current Boss collection here: http://instagram.com/boss_pedal_project Episode #23: Boss HM-3 Hyper Metal Ok, so everyone talks about the HM-2 Heavy Metal pedal. It's the one made 'famous' by Entombed and other Swedish death metal bands of the early 90's. But, you never hear about the...

See my current Boss collection here: http://instagram.com/boss_pedal_project Episode #22: Boss PS-2 Pitch Shifter/ Delay Until now, I had absolutely no experience with pitch shifters. I'm more of a meat and potatoes guy (distortion and delay). It was a bit of an interesting journey trying out...

Episode #21: Boss MD-2 Mega Distortion I think we have a winning formula: Boss overdrive/ distortion pedals and a Marshall 2203. You really can't seem to lose with that combo. I have yet to try a bad Boss dirt pedal. They all seem to work! Anyway, the MD-2 Mega Distortion is not a pedal I had...

My amp journey has taken me many places. At the moment, I am officially a Marshall convert. The two amps shown below are both late 70's Marshall JMPs. The top is a 50 watt 2204 that has been modded with an FX loop. The bottom is a 2204 that has been heavily modded by Dave Friedman. For hard...

Boss Pedal Review #19: Boss CS-2 Compression Sustainer I've never been a big compressor guy. Some guitarists have to have one in their rig for clean tones, but I have always shied away from them. A compressor to me is the least intuitive effect. It can be very subtle by nature, so it took me a...

Boss Pedal Review #18: Boss EH-2 Enhancer Ok, so what the heck does the EH-2 do? Well, from my experience with the pedal, it's basically like an 'intelligent' EQ. There are comparisons to the 'Sonic Maximizer' from BBE, but I think that's more like an EQ/ Compressor that brings out the highs...

U6bfuneKm4s The legendary Boss DM-2. What can I say about this pedal that hasn't already been said? Actually, prior to picking this one up, I had never played one. They aren't all that common around town, and the cost has always prevented me from snagging one. Well, I got a sweet deal and I had...

Episode #16: Boss HF-2 Hi Band Flanger The Boss HF-2 was one of those pedals I had heard about way back when I was getting into the 'rarer' bunch of Boss pedals. Ok, these aren't rare per say, but they are not one of the run of the mill Boss pedals you see used at the music store often. To my...

Episode 15: Boss DN-2 Dyna Drive I probably sound like a broken record at this point, but I really didn't expect much from the Boss DN-2. It's a later release Boss dirt pedal. It is supposed to react to your picking attack and clean up when you play lighter. It uses what Boss calls 'Dyna Amp...

Boss Pedal Review 14: OD-1 Overdrive I've had an interesting relationship with the Boss OD-1. I have literally owned this pedal 3 or 4 times, but I think I'll be keeping this one. In the past, it just didn't do it for me, but now I think I get the hype. One thing I've noticed about the OD-1...

Hey dudes, so I did a little vid of me covering the solo in Rich Kotzen's 'Wave of Emotion'. Not perfect by any means, but it will do. Thanks for watching!!! 1uQHjc6so1k

Hey guys, so I found a Mesa Boogie 395 Simul Class Stereo power amp locally for $400. It's at a local music store. It's in excellent shape. I couldn't find a lot about these online as far as how much they are worth. My assumption is at least $500 to $600. To be honest, I don't 'need' it, and it...

Hey guys, I was wondering if there was a schematic for the Friedman footswitch, or if one of you guys could open your's up and take a pic for me. I found a two channel footswitch used, but I need to rewire it to work with my Kitchen Sink Friedman Marshall. Thanks!

Hey guys, so I figured it was time to show off my Boss pedal collection. If you don't know, I am trying to collect and review them all. I have 45 or so at the moment, so I am almost to the halfway point. I debated selling the ones I wasn't planning on using, but it would be really special to...

Episode 12: Boss FRV-1 Fender '63 Reverb Reverb is one of those effects that I tend to shy away from with electric guitar. There are lots of great guitarists that use reverb, but I never really felt comfortable using it myself. I was always more of a delay guy. This has somewhat changed since I...

Here's the story: I purchased a Friedman modded 70's Marshall JMP a few months ago from a guy off of thegearpage. After getting it, I was having some problems with it. I post on the Friedman board and Dave said for me to send it to him, that he would fix it for free. Sweet! So I send it off to...
