New Boss Wazas....

Re: New Boss Wazas....

I've had that disc back in rotation the past couple of months, I remember playing that song and a few others in a band in NC when it was first came out. That is one of those discs/albums that every song is great.

Sorry for the derail, back to the Waza Crafting...

I remember when this album came out. I was helping a friend move into an apartment and we had this playing the whole time. Like you said, every song is a winner.

New Boss Wazas....

We have to "fix" that! Lol

Does that include Muffs as well?

I honestly have only a little experience with fuzz. I have tried a few different units years ago and just never liked the “looseness”.

Edit:
I will admit that I do like whatever Billie Corgan and James Iha were using with the Smashing Pumpkins.
Even though I was never a huge fan of the band their album production was always something that I really really liked.
Whoever produced them did a great job.
The bass guitar is flippin’ HUGE.

I think the Fuzz Face sound is more tricky to incorporate into your gear but the Muff IMHO is much easier. It tends to dominate the sound.

I'm a big SP fan. If you like that sound I would consider the EHX Op Amp reissue. I may have to get it because @dave74 liked it.

I know what Mincer wants for Christmas....

 

[Aceman]

Re: New Boss Wazas....

A boss HM-2 with a little more gain range, and a better high EQ control.....

I'd buy that!

And then run it into my Dimension C and play me some Twisted Sister and Poison!!!!!

Re: New Boss Wazas....

Certainly I do! I dig the Dimension units above almost all chorus units. I am sure that this will be confirmed tomorrow, but I wonder why people are speculating those particular pedals...

The teaser has the buttons and concentric knobs, along with the purple and black/orange motifs.

Then Sweetwater leaked it for a hot second.

Hmmmmm

Re: New Boss Wazas....

Surely one of these is an HM2-expanded. It would be so silly of them to not capitalize on it's current demand, not to mention all the originals are getting up there in age, even the MIT units are pushing 30yrs.

If one is an MT2w I'd be absolutely shocked.


edit; well now I'm shocked

Re: New Boss Wazas....

Well DAYUM. Still up there in price, but I'll probably grab one once they start hitting the used market, wanted a DC-2 for awhile but could never pull the trigger...

The fact the other mode goes for a Dimension D sound is a welcomed touch

Re: New Boss Wazas....

Chorus sounds bad and so do MT-2s. This is stupid.

You're stupid and so is your mother.

The DC-2w is pretty much the only thing Boss could have made to make me buy another pedal from them (or another pedal in general). I'm really stoked about this. The original sounds great, and I often leave it on all as a widener, but the problem with low headroom is well known. If they can fix that, so that you can actually use it in the loop, they've got a winner on their hand.

The only thing that is annoying so far are the YouTube reviews. A few are out, but I have yet to hear any of them who try to use it with more than SRV-level gain, and how it reacts to the volume knob being rolled back. That, in the end, is the thing I care the most about. (Testing it with the new MZ in front, as one reviewer did, does not count.)

Re: New Boss Wazas....

I don't get it. The MT2 is a divisive pedal, sure
But it's also one that's never been discontinued. So evidently, they're still moving units. Anybody who gets nostalgic for one can easily have one the same afternoon. Who is this pedal for?

I believe its for people who find the EQ too broad and want to dial it in better with the custom mode. After seeing Ola Englund's review it made sense, and definitely seems to be an improvement. There's a few Waza Craft pedals that sort of fall into this as well (i.e. not discontinued but nice added features)

Re: New Boss Wazas....

The MT-2 is one of their best selling pedals, go figure.

Second best after DS-1!

Re: New Boss Wazas....

The Waza MT-2 sounds miles better than the original, IMO. I like the Dimension C as well, very sweet. If I was looking at new pedals these days, I'd be looking at those, but I'd opt for the OD-1x instead of the MT-2w. It simply suits my style better.

Re: New Boss Wazas....

What I don't think that the people who hate on the MT-2 get is this: The genres that use it don't want those people to like them, nor their guitar tone. In fact, they want to piss them off and offend them. Sort of the way people who prefer certain styles of "music" like overpowering buzzy rattling bass pumped through improperly installed car stereos.

What genres would those be? Because after some 20-odd years of listening and playing metal, hanging around other people listening to grind and death and black and for about ten or fifteen years owning an MT2, I'm yet to meet anyone who actually thought using one was a good idea [emoji1]

I've heard more than a couple guitar players in industrial bands sound great with an MT-2 into a clean-ish amp. Their guitar sound probably wasn't what most would consider good, but it was great for the style they were playing. My favorite was probably Sister Machinegun; their guitar player had a Parker Fly going through the MT2 into a Fender Twin and the sound was huge.
