This is why I love the Internet! I bought this pedal off eBay some years ago for a really great price. In fact, I bought because of the price, not because I had any idea of how the pedal sounded. What can I say? I was a real BOSS fanatic back then.
Ironically, given the BOSS reputation for durability, the pedal came with a non-functioning power indicator. That was probably enough to turn me off the pedal. That, and the lack of a manual. So the EH-2 simply gathered dust.
Until I saw this video. I just finished playing my Strat through the EH-2. Luckily, there's a second light which does work, so at least I can tell if the pedal is on. And guess what? Playing with the controls makes a very marked effect (pun intended) on the Strat, particularly the MIX control. It certainly brightens up the sound. In fact, when I stepped off the pedal, the guitar sounded muffled to my ears. I can see this pedal coming in handy to help the Strat cut through the mix. I'll definitely use it the next time I record.
