July 13th: 3 StarsSo far I actually really like this pedal.Its not perfect, but it's decent. But I have a problem that I will get to later. First the Pros and Cons.
Pros:
Good Boosting
Feedback Sounds Natural
Boss Quality
Cons:
Expensive for what your getting.
Tone knob is REALLY sensitive.
The boost is clean until about 3 o'clock on the boost level.
The mid boost on character adds some gain.
Gets noisy if tone knob is turned or boost knob goes past 1/2 way.
The metal seems different than the other boss pedals...the metal is not as thick and has odd texture. (but I'm not worried about it breaking)
So in short this pedal does what it says, however, putting a feedbacker with a booster is not such a great idea. The problem is where I put this effect into my signal chain. If I put it before my distortion, the feedback part sounds excellent, but the booster hardly boosts any volume. If I put it after the distortion, it boosts the volume very well, but the feedback part sounds incredibly muffled and muddy. Any suggestions on what I could do? Your help is truly appreciated. If I could get this problem fixed I would change the rating to 5 stars because it is a great pedal I just want it to sound good in both ways. Thanks! (Hope I helped you as well) :)

July 18th: 5 Stars
After numerous unhelpful returned emails from Boss regarding my problems with this pedal, I took the problem into my own hands. I spent hours fiddling with the placement, knobs, and sounds that can come out of this pedal and I discovered numerous things. First, if the FB-2 is in front of your gain pedal, it will drive the pedal harder (i.e. more gain), but not necessarily boost your volume. The feedback function works great in the position and will give you infinite sustain for years. If you place it after your gain pedal, the FB-2 will boost volume very well, but the feedback function is useless in this placement. Luckily for me, my Digitech RP355, I love Digitech, has a A-B amp function that can change the volume and tone. So for my purposes this pedal is used for the feedback, which is excellent before gain. Sounds very natural, adds upper or lower harmonics (depending on feedback knob), rise time, and will give infinite sustain. DO NOT buy this pedal if you want the feedback function and the boost function at the same time, it just does not work. As I said earlier, putting these two effects together was not really a good idea. However, when used one at a time they do their job just fine. This pedal does also take some time to find a good sound. Very pleased with pedal and shipping company.The bundle was very fair in price too. Thanks. ROCK ON! :D
