All user reviews of 5/5 for the Boss ST-2 Power Stack

features: see other opinions

UTILIZATION

easy to use.
bass, treble, volume = 100% as this is the gear for the last 100 years.

= Gain of the distortion adds or removes.

SOUND QUALITY

It is still one of the best distos brand!
I tried bcp and distos Boss overdrive as bcp scratch, and it lacked a little tjrs this or that.

Where the sound is balanced and the bass is super present without mute all sound. Moreover, according to the turning pottard gain, sound adapts and changes accordingly. If you put style "crunch", the color of the guitar timbre changes compared to the gain turned to advantage. On other pedals would be on the same level, but not on it.

I play on a USA Hot Rod Deluxe and a Les Paul and it does!

OVERALL OPINION

In conclusion, this is a pedal that sends its Marshallian.

The sound quality is exceptional.

I have little or no breath with the gain fully. I use good cables and a power supply jack Boss has a "filter". It is perhaps because of this that I do not complain ... a power supply of the stuff merdouille is blowing, it is known.

I can play both of ZZTop, as AC / DC, Led Zep or even that Satriani and Delta blues ...

I Kiff!

The BOSS ST-2 Power Stack compact pedal is a new and I would dare say revolutionary compact pedal. Not necessarily an overdrive, not necessarily a distortion, it is a pedal that can serve as the overdrive/gain channel to a single-channel amp, or an amp that has a lacking overdrive/gain channel.

The configuration is standard BOSS; a 1/4" mono input and a 1/4" mono output to be run in front of your amplifier. It also has a 9V DC input so that it can be run on AC power from one of the standard BOSS power adapters.

UTILIZATION

The BOSS ST-2 Power Stack has four knobs: Level, Bass, Treble, and "Sound" knob, which controls the level of gain the ST-2 delivers. The range of the Sound knob goes from "Crunch" at 7 o'clock, to "Drive" at noon, to "Ultra" at 5 o'clock.

Again, I have to stress that this pedal REALLY makes it seem like there's another, different channel to your amp. I've played this pedal with multiple amps, both Tube and Solid-State, and it makes both sound just stunning. At lower "Sound" settings, the pedal makes the amp compress slightly and break up in the vein of classic blues-type amps. Bring the "Sound" knob up around 10 o'clock and you get a nice, gritty break-up. At noon the pedal gives off the sound of a classic crunch amp. Push the knob past 2 o'clock towards the "Ultra" setting and you get everything from classic 80's rock sounds to modern metal--it's all right there at your fingertips. The on-board EQ settings allow you to sculpt the tone to your exact needs.

SOUND QUALITY

As I wrote above, this is not an overdrive or distortion, rather employs BOSS COSM technology to model different varieties of amp tones as you turn the "Sound" knob to different positions. I haven't been so impressed by the quality and variety of the tones that can be coaxed from any one pedal in a long, long time. BOSS really took the time to do it right. You can hear the different amps in there: Marshall JCM 800 tones around noon, Fender/VOX cleans at the lower settings, and Mesa/Rectifier tones with the "Sound" knob around/above 3:00. The "in-between" settings are unique and great; this pedal REALLY encourages you to experiment.

OVERALL OPINION

I could write for days and days about the great tone of this pedal, but you really need to hear it for yourself. The BOSS ST-2 pedal is an EXCELLENT alternative for those who don't want to compromise on their clean channel, but need a great drive channel. I've heard that some have had issues with the pedal generating so much gain that it's difficult to stop from squealing and generating feedback. I've been running mine with an MXR Noise Clamp and haven't had any problems, with or without it.

If you have an amp that has a great clean channel but either doesn't have a gain channel, or has a less-than-adequate gain channel, the BOSS ST-2 Power Stack is an excellent 99-dollar solution. If something happened to mine, I would replace it in a heartbeat.

pedal "distal-simulation" tube amp. is the BOSS, compact and indestructible. no frills an IN and an OUT, period! What classic, once you press the send stuff and here ...

UTILIZATION

4 knobs: volume, bass, treble, and a "sound" which adjusts the level of distortion from the nice little crunch to the biggest trash that will twist your ears. can hardly be simpler, so they're typing manual, you triturate buttons and that's that!

SOUND QUALITY

the slaughter! big sound appointments, I use it with an Ibanez S570 or an old gibson marauder and a pod 2, I play jazz-rock fusion and frankly it sends the wood. but in fact it is very versatile I think everyone can find his account as long as you know properly adjust your effects chain. frankly, that is quite appropriate in a pedal-board worthy of the name.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it in a home studio, and my old pod since I said thank you. I rediscovered the simulation of Soldano, marshall, plexi, and more ...
take a look on youtube and watch the demo video made by marty friedman, you get an idea of ​​the possibilities of the machine is not blank.
value for money I put 9 / 10 so far because I do not know how to reverse aging here, if not for anything else to say so finally, those who practice the scene quite often want to do more not mess with the knobs all the time and find "their sound" immediately ... , O)

Quality distortion pedal very upscale! From a crunch sound, a sound very rock to metal! To have it all I have to say! And believe me I've tried many many distos!

UTILIZATION

Boss pedals are known for excellent use. The settings are simple and allow for extreme versatility.

SOUND QUALITY

Then there !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is one of the best Boss pedal! Incredible! In terms of saturation surpass it all! I also try several other brands before buying it because I have a lot of Boss, I wanted to change but when I came across this one ..... The Grail Woaw saturation really!

The sound quality is worthy of very high quality! And this pedal offers impressive versatility with incredible accuracy! The crunch sound, rock, metal.

OVERALL OPINION

I have been about 5 months and am completely satisfied!
A value for money to fall!
The only fault I can blame him is that since the notice of Philou27 ....... sniff sniff ...... you drop all your other distortion pedals, the poor .... ralala there are many closet at home now lol!
I use it as main Disto, well I think you can guess lol. It's a killer for both rhythm for the solo! I would also like to buy a second for two different settings when I play the rhythm and when I go solo.

A must have for your pedalboard!

Distortion pedal, overdrive ...

UTILIZATION

Is the boss, so simple

SOUND QUALITY

It's just the pedal I was looking for.
I have a MXR ZW44 Zakk Wylde Overdrive, a Blackstar Amplification HT-Dual, a Boss sd1 ... But it is this pedal is the sound I wanted.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three days, I tried a lot of pedal.
I use a Peavey Classic 30 combo, guitar Yamaha AES 920.
It is accurate at settings, with a palette of its very diverse.
I'm crazy.
Its price is very good.
I'll put in my closet other distortion pedals and buy a second one.
