Re: Riding the Boss Renaissance
I use the boost mode all the time, I definitely wouldn’t want to see it gone. But the octave lift would be a nice addition, I take back what I said earlier about the need for a Waza version.GotA wrote: ↑Fri Mar 01, 2024 7:43 amI'm the BOSS guy.

Re: Riding the Boss Renaissance
I had some Boss pedals years ago, sold em when I got into "cool" pedals and then ended up with this on a whim
I've ended up with many more Boss since, both old and some new, mostly old though.

That is some high quality soldering! Looks great.

Re: Riding the Boss Renaissance
I have started a new folder with all diy BOSS builds. I started this quest nearly 2 years ago and am close to being finished. There are a couple analog pedals that either can't be built because of unobtainable parts or just plain sound bad (XT-2). Still building them and will update the folder as they are completed.

Re: Riding the Boss Renaissance
I actually do have a YouTube channel and have been posting sound clips for the past couple years. I primarily make the videos for fellow pedal builders as I've been out of the selling game the past year or two.
