Just for fun I put together this small, all-Boss, all-stock board. With the exception of the DD-2, all of these can be bought at most music stores in Anywhere City. It sounds amazingly good. As many of us have, I've gone down the rabbit hole of boutique effects. Don't get me wrong, some of them are amazing, but these simple pedals will definitely get the gig done for me. The board is a PT Metro 16 and under the hood is a T Tone CS6 and the supply for the Shure wireless if I gig it (blank space on the right side for the GLX Shure).

Funny, I have nothing but booteek pedals. However I see gigging guitar players that use stock Boss, Ibanez and other run of the mill pedals and they sound really good. Unfortunately I'm too far gone to turn back now.

My first pedal board was a full boss lineup in their plastic board/case - can’t recall the model. I played that for maybe 10 years and it always sounded really good. I too went down the boutique mine - but I often miss that straightforward boss setup.

I too went down the boutique mine - but I often miss that straightforward boss setup. A couple of times I've actually constructed a fun (and excellent-quality!) little "mini Boss board" using their BCB-30 3-pedal case. At one time, I had: TU-2 tuner --> Keeley-modified BD-2 Blues Driver --> OD-3 Overdrive (stock). Another awesome one would be: Tuner --> Blues Driver --> Digital Delay. SO many cool & awesome options here. Not sure what I did with that board, or why I don't have it any more???

Great article! I hadn't seen it. Thanks for posting it Greg. Although it wasn't in the list of top appreciating Boss pedals, maybe I need to put that DD2 away.

I've been using an all-Boss-except-OCD set-up for years. If I'm doing a country gig with the Tele I might swap out the OD-3 for a Paisley Drive, but for the most part the Boss stuff just always works....and I get compliments on my tone a lot. Those Roland guys seem to know what they're doing.
