Another Vintage Boss Question

-I'll give you a clue. It's initials are DF and it's a *-2 series ;-) :-D

Ha!

The best pedal ever. But is it the much rarer and better SD&F or the common-as-muck SF&D?

(Actually they are exactly the same, apart from the name.)

UnclePsychosis

Common as muck version. :-D

Had a three minute play with it at "kids in bed" volume last night. Need to get a chance to crank it up properly later. The feedback is a bit odd but I didn't buy it for that.

Can't think why else you'd buy it. The distortion sounds horrific.

Is your DS1 vintage too?

-sadly not. 

I've now got a TR-2, DF-2, CE-2, Ph-2, RC-2, and Re-20.

Quite tempted to swap my DS-1 for a DS-2 just to keep my numerological side happy. Although then I'd have to swap my incoming SD-1 for something else yellow and *-2...

---probably means I'll like it. :-D

I am very much not a "traditional" guitarist, most of the traditional guitar heroes (and therefore guitar sounds) don't really do much for me. 

UnclePsychosis

As expected I bloomin love the DF-2. 

Think I'll keep my DS-1 around, though. They're sufficiently different to warrant having both.

You don't have OCDs, your drive is at the end of the chain and the DS1 is hanging slightly over the edge of the board!

By a strange coincidence...

The best overdrive ever.  

It does a pretty great rock crunch too, and can be boosted by other pedals well. Plus, the feedbacker is hilarious for weird stuff.
