Members melx Posted October 18, 2010 Members Share Posted October 18, 2010 I've love to get one someday. I've recently been getting really into Boss pedals. You see them on ebay quite often, I owned one before this one and neither cost me much. It isn't 'sought after' that's for sure, it came up in that 'worst sounding pedal' thread half a dozen times! I don't really know why, it's a great thick fat distortion sound for 'alt rock' of whatever type. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members missingastring Posted October 18, 2010 Members Share Posted October 18, 2010 That sounded really good, actually. Nice playing too, for random noodling. Good stuff. I would like to hear this thing with some riffing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members melx Posted October 18, 2010 Members Share Posted October 18, 2010 I think it sounds awesome! Kinda big muffy, smashing pumpkins kinda stuff IMO. yeah, for sure... it's like the bastard child of a big muff and a triple rec, it's sounds best into a really clean amp imo, a solid state or something with loads of clean headroom. I bet it would be brilliant into a JC120. The bottom end is really tight through a 4x12 though, that's where it's unlike a big muff, you can chugga chugga all day with it.

Members flanging_fred Posted October 18, 2010 Members Share Posted October 18, 2010 I thought it sounded good. Great playing too It does actually take some balls to post your own audio/ video on here. It's like serving your gonads up on a silver platter to a pack of rabid hungry hounds. I wish more people would do it, it makes for a more interesting and informative board. So respect to you sir, especially as it was against the grain. Thanks for posting it.

Members Mind_Riot89 Posted October 18, 2010 Members Share Posted October 18, 2010 Its just a dirt pedal, a few clipping circuits, one componant in a larger piece of the chain. There ought to be something good you can do with it, I've played very few dirst that are honestly unusable. I've heard people get great tones out of an MT2 for {censored}s sake. Its a bit early days to be all RAR THIS SUCKS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mind_Riot89 Posted October 18, 2010 Members Share Posted October 18, 2010 Nice playing! I must admit, this is by far the best ST-2 demo I've heard. It actually sounded rather good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AidyCM Posted October 18, 2010 Members Share Posted October 18, 2010 It does sound pretty nice, actually- nothing to keep me away from my HM-2, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members schenkadere Posted October 19, 2010 Author Members Share Posted October 19, 2010 It does sound pretty nice, actually- nothing to keep me away from my HM-2, though. I bought that pedal when it first came out in '83. At the time it was the best thing going for metal. I gave it to Billy Milano from SOD/MOD in'85. Glad you enjoy yours.

I'll tell ya...this pedal surprised the crap out of me. I expected the worst, but tried it out of curiosity and cuz Marty Friedman made it sound good...glad I did. I would normally never look twice at Boss dirt....well, Boss anything really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tantamo Posted November 25, 2010 Members Share Posted November 25, 2010 I'm thinking about picking this up, I tried it in guitar center and it did sound pretty good even through the roland cube they've got there. It was very versatile like you said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ferdinandstrat Posted November 25, 2010 Members Share Posted November 25, 2010 It is a good dirt pedal that gets way too much hate. Like many other boss pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gnoj_LL Posted November 25, 2010 Members Share Posted November 25, 2010 to much unnecessary and childish hate on the ST-2 here... anyway nice demo! i've tried it and the dynamics is very responsive. you could only achieve this dynamics with a "pedal" trough DSP and digital circuitry. but this would be limited to flat response PA systems or glassy-toned clean amps IMO. it gets harsh with an overdriven amp. the st-2 is a good pedal if you know what tone you are aiming for would buy it if it was a bit cheaper. still looking for a good deal for a used st-2 thou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
