NPD Boss DS2

[Kinki fuzz]

Not boutique, not vintage, and not rare (at all), but I wanted to share.



Never cared much about the ultra-popular DS1, because it is too popular to be cool, honestly. But this one was too cheap to pass on, second hand (it looks new, though), and I thought the remote control for "channel switching" was a cool feature too.

Cranking my Orange Dual Terror with this in normal setting in front sounds great indeed, you have heard that sound in so many records it's hard not to dig it. The Turbo option gets you a good lead tone, too.

Got me thinking, why do I bother searching the perfect tone, warmth, versatility, transparency or whatever, when I can get a couple cheap BOSS pedals and rock them loud... I play in pubs, who will hear the difference?. And of course there's no way you can break this pedal, no matter how hard or drunk you stomp on them!!
