I finally got one of these things at a local music shop and my god is it great. It replaced five of my pedals.

I know a lot of people on here like em so I wanted to start this thread.

I was wondering that too.

Delay and Chorus for sure. Whammy? Octaver (I doubt it) I don't really know after that, but I'm curious.

sounds like it should cover your delay and octave for a bit as well, so make it 5 - it's official.

Dangittaheck I want one!

It's definitely a cool pedal. I primarily use it with an expression pedal, but occasionally it's nice to have a delay at the beginning of my chain too. The most unique use I've got out of it was using it in Mode 7 into my S&H filter during the bridge of one of our songs.

I love mine. Mode Seven. +1 Octave. Feedback around 10 Oclock.

Tremolo picking and some delay/verb.....thing's freakin blissful.

I've also been using the dual detuned chorus sound a lot. verrry lush.

dude thank you for posting this. i say we make a club of this too .

Dude try mode 4 with feedback at 3 oclock and make the detune completely normal (no detune) and you have an awesome reverb like crazy cool.

No love for the PS-2?

The PS-2 has a fantastic delay, otherwise its settings on bass are pretty horendous.

Wierd. I sold mine for about $80 bucks a few weeks back.

I got it for $100 second hand. So I guess between $80-$100.

I will use your evil words against you, mustering an enormous, fearsome OC-2 army and we will march on you at daylight.

My old PS-3 was the only Boss pedal I have had issues with. It ended up doing this.

I picked up a new one with an expression pedal though, and now im back in PS-3 heaven
