■Produce a Wide Range of Distortion Sounds, from High Gain to Crunch: The ST-2 is a newly developed compact effects pedal that combines the sonic characteristics of a stack amp with the original BOSS distortion sound. The SOUND knob simultaneously adjusts both gain and sound character, allowing you to create a wide range of distortion sounds. With the SOUND knob in the center ""DRIVE"" position, you can achieve the classic BOSS powerful drive sound. This versatile distortion sound is a perfect match for any genre. Turning the SOUND knob all the way to the right creates a truly ""ULTRA"" distortion sound. It adds ultra-high-gain distortion that would be difficult to achieve even with a stack amp cranked to full power. This distortion is ideal for hard rock and metal guitarists. Furthermore, turning the SOUND knob to the left toward ""CRUNCH"" transforms the sound into a fat, crisp crunch. This sensual, high-quality distortion adds a sweet, delicate resonance to even bluesy phrases.
■ Delicate distortion that responds to picking nuances and input level: The ST-2's SOUND knob not only changes the distortion character, but also simultaneously adjusts settings to follow your playing. For example, it produces delicate distortion that sensitively reflects picking nuances, enabling sophisticated, expressive performances. The volume control also finely adjusts the tone. Depending on the input level, it outputs a realistic distortion sound without sacrificing dynamics. ■Realize the power and resonance of a stack amp: The ST-2 features a wide variety of built-in distortion sounds and is the result of thorough analysis of the unique sound characteristics and playing feel of stack amps. As the ""Power Stack"" name suggests, you can enjoy a powerful amp sound. The amp sound is inspired by vintage-model stack amps, creating a distinctive sense of power. Even when driven by a low-output guitar amp, it can be transformed into a powerful amp sound. It also reproduces the cabinet resonance created by playing a stack amp at high volumes, creating a more realistic and powerful amp sound.
■Intuitive Operation with Four Knobs: The ST-2 follows the simple operation characteristic of BOSS compact series. Intuitive control with four knobs allows you to create a wide variety of tonal variations. The SOUND knob, which controls distortion, allows you to adjust the distortion characteristics continuously from ULTRA to CRUNCH. Quickly find the optimum distortion for your song or performance. It also provides separate BASS and TREBLE knobs for amp-specific tone control, allowing you to easily adjust the sound quality to suit your desired guitar sound or balance with other instruments in your band ensemble.
