Finally found something to replace my LS-2

True. I just looked through his feedback and he does have them from time to time. I'm like you though, only looking to replace the LS-2....I'm no fan of the Boss pedals' "look".

I've had four new additions this week too, maybe I'll wait. I've got him bookmarked though.

Is it really only the cosmetic issue that turns you off to the LS-2? Because it's really hard to beat and is actually more flexible than this alternative, not to mention more compact and cheaper

You could spray paint it but I guess all your friends would still know you had a Boss on your board :bawl:

I like the being able to turn either side off AND the master bypass I know the LS-2 can do this but it can't do both without bending down and changing something

Also it's not bigger than the boss really, on a pedal train the boss is awkward and with 3 jacks per side you can't place another pedal that close to it, this is way better as the jacks are over the slats in the board and I can't place a pedal there anyway, not until they get this new floating bypass sorted :p

:confused:

But the point about lacking a foot-switchable mode shift is well taken. But for me, the lack of real blendability is a dealbreaker.

I'm not a huge fan of Boss pedals but for the value, a few of them are really unbeatable, and I am frequently witness to irrational, baseless boss-bashing that has nothing to do with the particulars of the pedal in question.

I don't understand where is the lack of blendability, it's 2 parallel fx loops just like the LS-2, 2 volume controls just like the LS-2
