Re: New Boss Wazas....
Maybe I'll try the mt2w down the road.
I'd really have liked it more if they'd made the modes foot-switchable via my latching fs5(like on the turbo), and then ran concentric levels and gains also. Doing so would boost the price to $200 though. $135 post-discount isn't bad at all for this mt2w.

I wonder why don't they apply that more often. They did that with that Boss/JHS collaboration pedal.

Re: New Boss Wazas....
I wish they would have added some sort of way to change mode on the DC-2W. Ideally MIDI, but I know that is just crazy talk in 2018. The pedal is, in any case, flexible enough that one might want to use it for different purposes in the same song. Whilst the original does clean up nicely when distortion is added, it would be great to be able to switch to a stronger patch for clean sections and a slighter one for distorted ones. Oh well, I'm sure I'll enjoy it still.

Well, honestly, considering how much chorus pedals tend to just eat up bottom end, I'm surprised a low pass filter isn't a more common feature. I know the MXR stereo chorus has it, but that's about it.....What else for the "modern player"...blend....dry kill....parallel/seriel switch....MIDI bidi fidi smidi.....full eq with presets....more blends.....and a blend in the blender for blending purposes....oh and a Rockman

To be honest, I wouldn't have been without that aspect of it. A good chorus sharpens the sound by tightening the bottom end. I wonder if this is what people who consider choruses too hi-fi-sounding are reacting to.

That would be great for the chorus.
I wonder if they can do analog switching/scrolling with a non-latching tap-tempo style switch, so as to go through the modes in order with the foot.
They always use the latching switches when it's just two modes, and the non-latching I only seem to see when it's a digital pedal/switching-system.
Thinking on it some more I can see why they wanted to keep the mt2w at a lower price-point. Much higher and it probably wouldn't be tempting enough for many people. It is just a metalzone after all lol.

DAFUQ? Iron Maiden's albums in the 80s are rich in chorus ("Somehere in Time", "Seventh Sons"), as is VH's F.U.C.K and Mike Stern with Yamaha SPX.

I am almost absolutely certain that we would have been told by now if it could do this. My guess is that there are no switching convenient switching capabilities.

Just FYI, Pete Thorn doesn't make a living reviewing gear. He is a highly sought after side and session man and has been for years. He was just in Japan for a few months touring as a sideman for a huge Japanese singer/songwriter.
If you LOVE gear, though, his channel is amazing. He also does live streaming on most Sundays and interacts a lot with his audience. He seems to be a great guy and loves to share his knowledge with us common folk.
If you're into instrumental rock, he also has two records, and both are very, very good.

Technically a pitch change (fine tune/detune) patch, not chorus.

Re: New Boss Wazas....
No it can't as is, seeing it doesn't even have a switching plug/jack.
I just meant that I wonder if it's even possible to do an analog scrolling system with an FS-5u if they choose to, with any pedal for that matter.

You forgot True Bypass, they always need TB unless it needs a buffer, but only Mike Fuller can tell you.
