Anyone else see this? Pretty cool mashup pedal limited to only 500 units.
I'm sure it'll be way out of my price range at the moment but I think it's a cool idea. And they recently announced they're gonna do a hm-2w too.
I did see that. Pretty cool. I'll bet it's spendy.
I'm guessing it is not cost an arm and a leg. I bet it'll be something like $100-150.
Cool idea. It's interesting to see Boss do these collaborations. I wonder what the circuit will actually be? I'd say I doubt it will be germanium, but if they are only making 500 maybe it will be.
I'm a bit mystified by the choice myself, and not just because I'm a bit salty that it's not an FZ-2W. The rest of the Waza releases to date have been reissues of some of their most sought-after classics with new added features and conveniences, so to release a classic, much-copied circuit that Boss/Roland never had anything to do with under their own marquee is kinda out of left field and feels like they're trying to squeeze their way into the already-crowded boutique fuzz clone market. The whole limited-release aspect of it also feels like it kind of goes against their brand image of being solid,dependable, reasonably-priced workhorses that are available everywhere. In any event, it's almost not worth worrying about since scalpers will buy them all up within minutes of release and resell them on Reverb for far more than I'm willing to spend so I'll probably never see one.
Kinda surprised they went with a power mode switch as a feature. I'm not familiar with running a TB at 12v.

Yes, I know. I don't think Boss would charge that.
yeah I'll be interested to see if they can make it feel boutique but affordable.
"Available in a limited production run, each TB-2W features rare germanium transistors carefully tested for optimum tone, a three-way voltage selector, selectable true/buffered bypass operation, and a refined circuit design for ultra-consistent performance from pedal to pedal."
I'm betting it's at least $250

That true bypass statement is interesting, I wonder if it has a relay. When I first saw this, I thought it was kind of weird to make a TB with a buffer and a flip-flop switch :o
After building for awhile now, it's always annoying for me to look at new commercial pedals and try to guess what they are. Why can't they just have a gut shot ? ;D

I agree with this statement, only you're timing is wrong. These will be gone within negative 10 seconds of being available.
I cant believe that there are pedal scalpers, a weird thought to me and those people are scummy.
It is a cool collaboration and I am sure will be expensive as hell. Here are some videos they released today.

The dude playing in the first video is so annoying I wanted to strangle him. It was hard to listen to the guy talking with all that buzzy wanking going on in the background.
Honestly, I've seen and heard better builds here. It's cool to see a collaboration of old and new still. It would be funny if it turned out to be boss cosm technology lol

No different than the people that get the pre-sale tickets for the latest video game consoles for $450-500 and then turn around and sell them for $800-900 when they are first released.
We have people in my area that are buying up all of the Lysol cleaning products and re-selling for 2-3x the price online. Pittiful!

That was an issue here for a little while, but then people started getting busted.

Haha. Not here! Hell, we have private citizens selling 60-day temporary registrations for ANY vehicle (must have a cash app) for $150 :o
Tell me how THAT works?

Jeeesus, that's insanity. I guess the government there is just as corrupt?

That's capitalism for you. Where there's insane demand for something, somebody will find a way to profit from it. Although in the case of the gaming console, a totally unnecessary product, you get what you are willing to pay for. Early adopters always pay full price if not more. Which is why I will never be one.
Agreed. I don't even buy new cars anymore.
I assume the temporary tags for sale is probably somewhere tax abusive like Virginia where not only is personal property taxed like a mofo but if you get delinquent on anything they tack on that DMV stop that keeps you from renewing as well
I'd also like to note exactly how off-topic this has gotten, in case anyone is keeping score

Things haven't gotten too far off topic. We haven't brought up trapping armadillos yet.

Good point, thanks Chris. So how do you go about trapping an Armadillo?

If there ever was a job best left to professionals, it's that one.

It's 350 $
I listened to the premier guitar demo and was not 350 dollars impressed. Cant say i was even 60 dollars impressed

Crazy Tube Circuits Constellation CV7003. Check that one out.
It absolutely obliterates the Boss in this "boutique limited edition" fuzz category.
I'm not surprised this costs $350. Look at all the other "Waza" stuff that boss released. It's a money grab. When I saw that this was going to be released I pretty much wrote it off. Just like the Zvex / Chase Bliss pedal. Nothing against those guys but their prices are WAY too high and I will never own one of their pedals because of it.

Yeah, I have doubts that I'll ever spend that much on a guitar again, let alone a pedal.
