little off-topic but SFT related:

anybody using the SFT with the Boss LS-2 (mix A/B mode!)?

I just ordered the SFT couple days ago and NOW i did read somewhere
that the SFT shifts the phase by 180°??? Since the LS-2 does not have a
phase switch i think that LS-2/SFT combination would not work out and
in the blending/mix mode it would kill the sound.

Yup, you're pretty screwed unless you either buy a new blender or get another pedal that flips the phase (apparently many simple boost pedals do) and blend that in parallel with the SFT.


Sorry, I guess transparent wasn't the right word... 'touch sensative' was what they claim; to mean that means that the sound when played lightly is akin to your clean tone - I feel like my polish love OD achieves this much better than the SFT.

Yeah, this suddenly got promoted to 'most touch sensitive overdrive pedal in the world' when they released a video about it. I don't think it's anything special in thi respect, most OD's I've played are just as 'touch sensitive' as the SFT!
