The Boss DF-2 Super Feedbacker & Distortion is a unique distortion pedal that is designed for electric guitar which is the only instrument that I have used this with. The pedal has 1/4 inch connections and can be powered by either a 9 volt battery or power supply. This isn't a rack mountable piece of gear as it is a stomp box.
UTILIZATION
Using the Boss DF-2 is extremely easy as everything is laid out in a user friendly fashion as is the case with most Boss pedals. The parameters that this pedal has are split into two sections - one is distortion which has knobs for level, tone, and distortion and under the feedback section is a knob for overtone. This is pretty much all that there is to this pedal and even those without much experience with pedals will be able to figure out how to use this. A manual isn't necessary but since I haven't it I can't say if it is put together well or not.
SOUND QUALITY
The sound quality of the Boss DF-2 is pretty cool overall. It isn't the best distortion pedal in terms of the traditional sense as it gets quite dirty and noisy, but that is the cool thing about this pedal. It is designed to not only give you a fat distortion but also to give you feedback on command, which is probably its best feature. You can really get some crazy feedback type noises and sounds and I would really recommend this pedal for this reason rather than for its distortion. I've used the pedal for recording with a Fender Strat and a '76 Fender Twin Reverb and I find this to be a great set up to use this pedal with...
OVERALL OPINION
There aren't too many pedals out there that are designed to give you both distortion and feedback, so right off the bat this was an intriguing pedal. While I'm not all that satisfied with the distortion section of this pedal, I think that when combined the distortion and feedback can give you some great instant feedback and a ton of noise. This isn't an expensive pedal so if you are interested in getting a pedal that will give you a ton of feedback, distortion and noise on command, the Boss DF-2 is definitely worth at least trying out.
