PW-2
The PW-2 delivers gritty, rough-grained distortion that works in many musical settings. Combine with a high‑gain amp for a wall of sound, or use a lower-gain setup for refined crunch. Start with the Fat and Muscle controls at minimum, then raise them for the desired low and mid-frequency character. NOTE This effect must be purchased separately for use. Use the “BOSS EFFECT LOADER” app (iOS/Android) to purchase this effect. |
