Product Description
From fat crunch to ultra high-gain distortion, The ST-2 power stack delivers famous BOSS distortion with a stunning amount of power that’s akin to coveted tube amps and professional amp stacks.

To add further detail to your tone, simply tweak the onboard two-band EQ to taste. The ST-2 is one very unique distortion Pedal, calling on BOSS’ years of amp modeling research to bring you real stack sounds in a compact stompbox.

Customers are mixed about the sound quality of the pedal. Some mention it sounds great on its own, making sounds from very famous stacks from the 60s and 70s. They say it produces a great easy to play lead sound, and it pairs well with a MXR M-109 6 band EQ pedal. However, others say it sounds like a noisy, useless mess, and can either sound amazing or cheap and terrible.

Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2016
CONTROLS: The controls are simple, and there aren't any totally unusable settings you can give this pedal since the Bass and Treble knobs are very "British EQ" in the sense that the dynamic range is more balanced. This yields a more musical sounding pedal in the end, so you'll have to tweak it in tandem with your amp's EQ to really get the best sound you can. When fully cranked, the Bass EQ adds some "thump" to your sound - very reminiscent of a closed back cabinet.
GAIN: Crunch, Drive, and Ultra are the three gain stages, and each give the pedal a pronounced character difference. For all intents and purposes, Crunch = OD-1, Drive = DS-1, and Ultra = DS-2. So if you're looking for a catch-all Boss stompbox, this one might be your ticket. The gain overall sounds very musical.
TONE: Crunch and Drive don't add much coloration to your tone, but the Ultra does. Some people have said it sounds like a partially cocked wah, and this is partially correct. The Ultra adds some scoop and a little wah color, but if you balance this with your amp's settings you'll be able to get a raunchy distortion sound.
Personally, I bought this pedal because I was looking for a good preamp-esque stompbox to plug into my ADA GCS-3 cabinet simulator so I can run directly into my church's PA system. Not quite sure if this pedal is worth the $100+ new, which is why I took away a star. I was able to get mine used for a lot less, so if you're on the fence about the ST-2 and you're hesitating to buy it... I say go for it if you can find one at a good price, otherwise if you're looking for more of true amp-like pedal, check out the Behringer VT999 instead or the SansAmp ParaDriver DI.
If you are playing with a Fender or other kind of clean amp, this pedal basically adds a Marshall channel to your amp - which might be beneficial if you've been going from tubescreamer to overdrive and back and forth and haven't quite found the right pedal that fits or gets you that Hendrix or British metal tone you've been looking for.
1. It's a Boss. What that means to me is that it will last forever.
2. Like all Boss pedals, it's buffered. So my signal will will remain as crystal clear as if I were plugged in directly. No matter how many I use.
3. It sounds GREAT! Although I have never tried the other pedals in person, I have owned a couple of Marshall amps in the past, and I know how they sound. This pedal goes from a very clear, light off-clean to classic bluesy overdrive to cranked Plexi to JCM 800 to Marshall Ultra Gain easily. And it cleans up with the guitar's volume knob very well. I recently used it with an overdrive pedal in front of it with it set to a nice crunch. When boosted with my SD-1 it produced a very nice angry lead tone.
For example. you can get Van Halen or Queen type tones with a Stratocaster by turning up the bass and turning the treble. You can get Zeppelin or AC/DC style crunch with humbuckers by turning the sound knob to 12 o'clock or lower, and cleaning up a bit with your guitar's volume. And then you need to experiment with the pedal at higher volumes, as you will probably require less gain on the stage.
It really has a lot of fantastic uses, but right out of the box it'll probably sound like a noisy, useless mess. You need to take the time to adjust to your liking and it will be a very affordable way of turning your rig into the Marshall of your dreams. Of course, since it's an inexpensive pedal, to those obsessed with tone it will inevitably have a "pedal like" sound. But to me, it's close enough for less than $200.
Lastly, I recommend that the buyer experiment with its placement in your chain. When I first got it, my rig had this unbearable noise even when the pedal was disengaged. Putting it in the front changed that completely. So overall, it's a lot of fun and use for the money but remember to fiddle with EVERYTHING (all the knobs, your guitar's volume and tone knobs, the pickup switches, the placement) for the sound you like.
