Coming soon to the Boss line of compact pedals, the Boss ST-2 Power Stack is a unique type of Boss distortion pedal, one that Boss says provides guitarists with both the sound and feel of playing through a large, cranked-up, stack-style tube amplifier.

Since the ST-2 has a versatile range of distortion tones and an authentic stack-amp feel, it is ideal for guitarists of all playing styles, from classic rock and blues to metal. According to Boss U.S., the new ST-2 is perfect for players looking for a wide range of distortion sounds from a single stompbox, as well as for combo-amp and multi-effects users who want to add some real tube-stack "mojo" to their rig. So if you want to add some real mojo to your setup, continue reading.

Easy to use and built to last, the ST-2 offers extremely simple controls. The main key control, the Sound knob, lets you dial in three distinct stack tones, from fat crunch and punchy drive to ultra-high gain distortion and everything else. The accompanying Bass and Treble knobs let you add more detail to the tone, while the Level knob controls the effect pedal’s overall volume.

ST-2 Power Stack features:

• Compact distortion effect pedal
• Sounds and feels like a stack-style tube amplifier
• Simplified controls: Sound knob, Bass knob, Treble knob, Level knob
• A range of distortion tones
• Ideal for guitarists of all levels, suitable for all playing styles
