  iamqman's review "Dynamic enhance"

  Characteristics

  This pedal would be the conductor to the later and current boss pedal the Boss Dyna Drive. This pedal essentially does the exact same thing as a the Boss Dyna Drive, but with a few more features. This pedal work on the dynamics of your playing as well as boosting signals. These pedals were used in recording sessions where running giant pedal board or long lines of cables degrade your signal. This boost the response and added a lot more dynamics to the tone. It modify the high frequencies of your tone. What you get is more clarity and a cleaner signal.

  Utilization

  Specifications
  
  
  
  Controls: Mix, Freq, Sens
  
  Connectors: Input, Output, AC Adaptor
  
  Current Draw: 24 mA (DC 9V)
  
  Recommended AC Adaptor: PSA Series

  Sound Quality

  This is a boost pedal and a dynamic peal. you get added dynamics to your tone and you get a better boosted signal to the tone as well. The experts says play with this pedal on for a while and probably not notice much of a difference until you turn it off. Then you get to experience the difference in this pedal almost like you would be A/B two different amps or guitars.
  
  
  
  This pedal doesn't add distortion to your tone or any other frequencies but just boosting those high frequencies to get you signal moving with more precision and clarity. It is a good pedal for recording with but if you are using a boutique amp then this doesn't make that much of a difference.

  Overall Opinion

  These pedals were manufactured for about 7 years from 1990 to 1997. They can be had on the classifieds all day long. I continue to see them for right around $70 to $80. Not a bad price for a pedal that may or may not be needed in your rig. I would recommend picking one up if you are about to do some recording because at this price it could be a no brainer. If you don't like it or do not need it you can sell it and almost break even for an experiment.

  moosers's review

  Characteristics

  The Boss EH-2 is a foot pedal designed for electric guitar to 'enhance' your tone.  It gives you a brighter tone and cuts through a mix or a room quite well.  The pedal has a 1/4 inch input and output and like all Boss pedals can be powered by either a nine volt battery or power supply.  It isn't a rack mountable piece of gear as it is a stomp box.

  Utilization

  The make up of the Boss EH-2 is quite simple to follow as it only has three parameters - it has knobs mix, frequency, and sensitivity - with an LED light to show the rate of sensitivity.  That is all of the parameters that this has to offer although this doesn't mean that you can't get a good amount of varying tones between the parameters given.  I think that just about anybody could figure out how to use this pretty quickly without a manual and regardless of experience...

  Sound Quality

  The sound quality of the Boss EH-2 is pretty good overall even if you only use it subtly.  It is similar to other enhancers, exciters, and tone boosters, but it has its own sound and its own capabilities.  I use the pedal with a Fender Strat and a '76 Fender Twin Reverb or '65 Deluxe Reverb amp most of the time for recording and live shows, so I think I've definitely been getting an accurate read on what this pedal actually sounds like and I definitely like what I'm hearing.  While it isn't a pedal that I tend to use all that often, I like having it around because you never know when a unique enhancer like this will come in handy...

  Overall Opinion

  The Boss EH-2 is an older pedal in the Boss collection and is no longer made, but if you are interested in getting one you should be able to find a used one for a reasonable price.  While I do think that there are some better options if you are just looking for a tone booster, this will definitely have the same effects and does have a very nice sound.  I'm a big fan of the older Boss pedals as I not only think that they are great collector's items but generally enjoy the sounds they have to offer.  All in all, the Boss EH-2 is definitely worth a look if you want a unique enhancer/exciter.

  8oris's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Cf Previous Notice!
  
  How can we note the characteristics of a boss below 10?
  
  It's compact, easy, accessible, intuitive!

  Utilization

  I bought it (used) primarily to test because it has a lil mysterious side. I know few scratch known or unknown that use it (except that of the group ... enhancer, which I am not particularly a fan) ... I wanted to see how it could give ...
  
  Sold without a manual, I was based on advice from the seller, and Bossar ...
  
  
  
  I put 4, even when we know the theoretical influence of different settings, there has not been easy this influence in practice!
  
  Tested with an RG270, and a ESPMH400 valbee at the end of the chain after chaining OC2/FZ2/DF2/MT2!

  Sound Quality

  This is the effect to test the sensitivity of your ear ... Apparently it's a pedal set for whales and other marine mammals have a high frequency hearing ...
  
  If you like the pedals that once switched completely change your sound, go your way ...
  
  
  
  In short, all that to say that
  
  
  
  In the clear:
  
  rendering is not clear, even with the extreme settings (1 to 10 knob one, other than 0, or the configurations in the taste)! It can happen to give his guitar a mild "acoustic guitar"
  
  
  
  With distortion / gain:
  
  And Ben, the AC turns your guitar into a chainsaw! Ca pete of acute in all directions. It's not buzzing, but it does more than tickle!
  
  
  
  I quite agree with the criticism of Marty, "If you tripper rendering and it serves it's good if you're not going to stay long."
  
  
  
  Remember that this pedal would aim to avoid cutting of certain frequencies after chaining a bit long!
  
  
  
  That says it all ... So, I put 4 because at the base, the advice of a pedal is subjective, but this one it multiplies the concept of subjectivity!

  Overall Opinion

  I've had six months, I've been around, try stuff, try, listen, tweak, but that really, I do not see what she could serve me.
  
  I will sell ...
  
  A pedal which the test is a priority over and above the purchase ...
  
  
  
  Finally:
  
  10 + 4 + 4 = 18
  
  18 / 8 ~ 6

  erratom's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  It is a PDAL enhancer (enhancer), a driver for an equalizer.
  
  Concrtement frquence acts on high, and will therefore bring clarity to shine, your sound harmonics. A kind of high pass on the pedals rglages extreme.

  Utilization

  Using the first two knobs (mix & freq) is not in the sense o ais it is difficult to understand and retain relement Prior to their impact on their sound, but I am not question their effectiveness away from l.
  
  Concrtement, there are a multitude of sounds, but often by chance, by adjusting the two knobs as you can.
  
  
  
  the 3rd knob (sense) control the level of the effect, it adds a control LED (you play, it lights up. The opposite of the LED of a NS-2!).
  
  
  
  Many users say that the pedals you highlights of the mix, it is not wrong, raising some frquences it rveille your sound.
  
  
  
  The EH-2 is also used when several effects are enabled (a delay, a flanger and pitch shifter, for example) to bring out your notes and avoid that they are "drowned" in your belongings.
  
  
  
  explanations officiles: http://www.bossarea.com/loadpage.asp?file=boxes/eh2.xml

  Sound Quality

  Trs effective! your sound is immediately modified to find you then use (l is the problem lol).
  
  In part against it may be subtle and DiscT if you reduce the 3rd knob (Sensibility) or if you find a rglage too extreme.
  
  
  
  In the clear:
  
  It becomes even more clear, fine, crystalline, it is close to the single coil sound. Trs trs is fun!
  
  
  
  In the saturated:
  
  At the extreme fuzz with other sounds rglages gnre frquences variables (yes means nothing but good)
  
  
  
  NB: the level of the effect is more important than its saturation clear.

  Overall Opinion

  It's worth testing and / or purchase if you like carving a particular sound, or if you voullez a beautiful clear sound.
  
  Personally I use my microphone to clear up severe SH-1 while keeping its thickness. In this way my s'embllit clean.
  
  
  
  It can be compared to SETTING THE "prsence" Submitted on some amps (Marshall, H & K. ..) but with more configurabilit forcment.
  
  
  
  the -
  
  - Sometimes suptif sometimes extreme
  
  - Difference in efficiency of the light / saturbr />
  
  the +
  
  - The effect on the sound made clear or crunchy
  
  - Or will you?

  Marty62100's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Ref further notice.

  Utilization

  Not exactly easy to find the same one the next day it's true that one palm.

  Sound Quality

  Everything is said in the notice of erratom, I would add just to give you an ide prcise the effect itself: you act only on the high frquences spectrum to Get You Started in the ca 10, something like a 12K, climbing has frquences almost inaudible.
  
  
  
  It allows you to refine your acute when You are not friends with too, like me. Give a great sound and give a different sound to a diso.
  
  For my part I also test on EMG81 and I must say that makes it a lot! Dja with the EMG is great but! lol
  
  
  
  10 if you like and you find a useful for this purpose.
  
  These are pedals such as limiting which are subtle and frankly that we do not know what to do forcment. If you tripper rendering and it serves it's good if you do not stay long with.

  Overall Opinion

  Ref. erratom notice.
  
  
  
  So useful: 10.

  gridoul's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  It's a simple pedal boss used to clarify the sound. (Enhancer).
  
  three potentiometers, "mix", "freq" and "sense".
  
  no limitation as to the LMB-3 Boss.
  
  input and output jack.
  
  works with 9v battery or external power supply.
  
  very strong case, as always with boss.

  Utilization

  Ease of use and durability are the advantages of this pedal and boss confirmed.
  
  you can adjust the "sensitivity" of the effect, which keeps the original sound by playing with fingers and have a great slap sound as soon as you attack the strings without touching the pedal.
  
  just open his ears to find the brilliance and dynamics to suit.
  
  is very effective without taking the tête.je have used it without a manual.

  Sound Quality

  The sound quality is there: not breathing, dynamic compliance.
  
  on a passive bass, the result is excellent.
  
  I use it with my fender jazz bass (everything thoroughly, volume and tone) mainly for the slap.
  
  but it feels as effective for a game at your fingers to éclaicir sound, like "Just the Two Of Us" by Grover Washington.
  
  the sound is clearer, more fluid and the slap becomes more "punchy".

  Overall Opinion

  I have a few months and I am very satisfied.
  
  what I like with this, it is the subtle side of sound processing and the fact that it can be used by bass players such as guitarists.
  
  I have not tried other enhancer (APHEX type), but it works very well.
  
  I try the LMB-3 Boss with the limiter and more.
  
  I bought this pedal € 36. which is less than its coast argus.à this award is a great affaire.parfait for musicians on a budget serré.à that price, it has no equivalent .
  
  if you find one in these prices, try it!
  
  She accompanies me on stage and in rehearsals.

  Mentor's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Mono pedal, little sister of the model half-rack stereo Boss EH-50.

  Utilization

  Setting clear. Personally, I also advocates for the distorted sounds.

  Sound Quality

  For a good metal sound, place it just after the distortion (the order of chaining is essential). For example, after a Metal Zone. Try these settings:
  
  Metal Zone: Dist set to 1 - to 1 Low - Mid Freq at 2 - Middle and High at 11am.
  
  Following the EH2: Mix 4 or 5am - 9am Freq - Sens at 11am.
  
  Enable and disable EH2 playing. Sensations guaranteed.
  
  Material tested head Carvin X100b (EL34 version) - Marshall 1960 cabinet.
  
  Further adjustments to the amp can be expected for situations lives.
  
  I note 10 for its effectiveness on the distorted sounds (note the order of chaining).
  
  Not really tested on clean sounds.

  Overall Opinion

  I use it exclusively for heavy distortion. 5 years.
  
  This pedal has allowed me to remove the frequency of nasal MT-2 (EQ from the MT-2) and revive the sound spectrum of the distortion of other frequencies very interesting. I plan to buy a second EH-2 used. Before that there have more ...

  lordofmushrooms's review ( translated ) Improve this translation

  Characteristics

  Enhancer is a pedal, ie "enhancer" literally. Boss is a classic (made in Taiwan) with three knobs made from 1990 to 1997 by the Japanese firm.
  
  This pedal adds clarity and dynamic presence to your sound of guitar or bass, which may tend to lose accuracy and brightness when using multiple pedals chain (to be placed so the end of the chain of effects). Nothing to say, it's tough, as usual with Boss.

  Utilization

  Operation is very simple: you set the threshold at which the effect is applied with the "sense", then the rate of the effect with "mix" and finally the overall frequency with "freq".
  
  We find very quickly the sound and the manual explains very well how to use the pedal.

  Sound Quality

  At first glance, the pedal does not really seem to have any effect. Play a few times, then cut away. It's amazing! This can be particularly close to an equalizer which could have boosted the treble, although the result is not a beast rising high frequencies.
  
  
  
  I recommend especially the use of clean sounds with a guitar (not too much impact on distos me): signal clarity and truly earns the sound takes on a whole new dimension.
  
  
  
  With my bass, the sound is much brighter, and slap including gains in precision.

  Overall Opinion

  I have a few weeks and I am very happy. I use it mostly with my bass, permanently connected. It is very close to the LMB-3, limiting the function and less. It should however be careful not to push it too thoroughly, in which case the sound becomes a bit boring.
  
  If like me you find it at € 25, please! It's a pedal that does not run the streets and that is really nice.
