I was recently playing with a Maxon OD808 in front of the amp, but I had it turned off. I thought my pickup was broken, lol. I never noticed how bad that pedal killed the tone when bypassed. I had that coupled with a Boss NS-2, and the total effect was super noticeable.

If I had a permanent board set up, I would probably use some sort of loop switcher.

I do enjoy a good Rubato thread.

Wew. My amps always have a boss pedal of four plugged in front of them. They'll be safe from a Rubato'ing even if you happen to pass through fly-over country. They'll sleep better knowing that.

God is on your side


So, I’m going to Hell, because all of the pedals on my board, save for two, are Boss, and I’m getting another (RE-202)?

The re202 absolutely smokes. One of the best delays out there. Period.

To be completely fair, I have no idea if those larger BOSS pedals have the same problem. That’s definitely up for debate.

I definitely want the RE202. And I regret selling the EVH delay. Today I was listening to the demo I made and thinking why TF did I return this? It sounded great.

RE-202 is where it’s at mine is on almost always. King supreme delay will never sell. It has the tone and it has the tech. Midi clock synced… *chefs kiss*
