Silenced Fred Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Why I ****ing hate Boss pedals. My friend returned the Super Overdrive I lent him for like a year, and it plain sucks. It sounds like I'm playing through my Line 6 amp when I'm with the Sunn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm hoping to sell it. I'm gonna build most of my pedals from now on, aside for delay. For dirt, I'm gonna build clones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 IMO it wouldn't even be worthwhile to sell after shipping and everything you'd make like $10. There are some cool boss pedals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dem00n Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Mod it. Or you can just keep the case of the pedeal and put a complete diffrent setup inside it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about you guys but I hate the boss enclosures. But yeah I'd say mod it. It's pretty much worthless for selling or trading unless you get lucky like I did with my MXR od.

Tman5293 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 You could take it to Guitar Center. They'll give you a whole $10 for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't sell it online, craigslist or to a friend or try and trade for something. BTW, did you see what that guy is doing? He's trying to sell the MXR OD for 55 bucks. I wanna post and say that they are 40 new, but you know... It just sounds like **** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 I don't know? I have several boss pedals always found them solid as a tank, affordable and most importantly reliable (huge deal if you're a regular gigging musician). I could always dial in whatever tone I needed to get the job done. You young whipper snappers keep on searching for that ever elusive tone.

Searcy Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Love my BOSS pedals. My favorite is the green PH3 Phaser with an expression pedal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna post and say that they are 40 new, but you know... It just sounds like **** yeah I saw that this morning. I was gonna say they're $40 readily available at GC but it just seemed unnecessary to point that out. Plus he was a really cool dude to deal with... I just didn't want to be the guy to point it out. I appreciate if he increased the price over new because it was previously owned by me though. Yeah that was a lame pedal I dug it at first then one day it seemed that no matter what I did it seemed overly compressed and muffled sounding. I just got the word today that my **** od should be shipped out Tuesday or Wednesday. I don't know if you've checked out the **** but it's pretty sweet I'm stoked.

Yeah, I just didn't want to be that guy to point out he's trying rip people off and that nobody will probably buy it... I'll have to check it out.

Dub-T-123 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Check it out. Hit up the smallsound/bigsound forum on ILF and their site. I asked Brian to do a potentially awesome custom finish on mine and he does the best custom finishes... We'll see how it turns out but I'm not gonna spoil the surprise until I have some pics. It's most likely gonna be ridiculously rad though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much extra is it for the custom finish if I may ask? I want to work on doing finishes for a few clones I'm planning on doing something cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 No it's got regular overdrive and then the "****" part. This kindof explains it http://www.smallsoundbigsound.com/products/****-overdrive/ you're gonna have to replace the **** in that link with the word that the forum is censoring. You should peruse some of the threads about it on the ss/bs forum at ilf. Some members posted some good demos. Brian explains it better there too. It's $15 extra for a custom finish and you can get optional upgrades too. He does cool finishes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enmitygauged Posted May 15, 2011 Share Posted May 15, 2011 Personally I hate most pedals I prefer to use the amps gain and have learned the hard way that the right amp can make all the difference. I play with only the most minimal pedals. ISP decimator and maybe a wah sometimes..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really wanna get the 3 in 1 clone from mammoth electronics, it has a tube screamer type, a tone bender type and something else. So cool, and its only like 100 bucks for everything. It would be worth it for jam sessions and to keep for emergencies of a sort lol After the fuzz rite clone, I wanna get the fuk overdrive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clash80 Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I have a Boss pedal, it was the most affordable one at my local music store, which isnt really a music store...its an electrical store with a few musical items. I dont seem to have a problem with Boss, but then again i haven't really used anything else, so I have yet to compare it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I miss more fuzz... Haha I was just kidding but yeah it's cool to have a variety of fuzz. It's pointless to have overlapping pedals and pedals that you don't use much though. Might as well not have a muff and a swollen pickle or a fuzz factory that you don't use. I'm just trying to streamline my board to all pedals that I absolutely love and use all the time.
