Discontinued Boss pedals

sillyfabe said:
DC'd:
FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz: love this has 2 fuzzes plus a clean gain boost
OC-2 Octave: perfect for fatness plus did the synthy mod for a squarewave
PS-3 Digital Pitch Shifter/Delay: 2 sec digi-delay, harmonies, -2 to +2 oct, whammy, reverse pitch shifiting, reverse delay....LOVE IT!

still made:
DD-7
LS-2

It has reverse delay too? Ugh everytime I hear about that damn thing I want it more.
 
You used to have a CC300, IIRC? How does it compare with the DC-2, for a cheaper, easily available option? I know the deal about radio buttons on the DC-2 vs the on/off ones on the CC300.

I would say that the CC-300 is a reasonable replacement for it, and is definitely cheap enough to try, just to see if you like it. The sound quality is quite good, and the Behringer actually has a larger range of settings, because of the way they did the buttons. They are both what I would call an icy, shimmery type of chorus. In stereo is where it really shines. I can try to record a quick A/B of them sometime this week.
 
I paid too much for a FZ-2 Hyper Fuzz right after they discontinued them. I had one when they were newly released and loved it but had to sell because I was broke and needed money. Later I went back for one. 2 different fuzzes plus clean boost which works great for over-driving other tube pre's. Real mean sounding.:mad:
