Nope

I’ll be interested to hear what the overdrive’s like. Shame there’s no Waza Space Echo though.

Yep

Absolutely ingenious marketing to get the entirety of metal guitar internet excited about an HM-2 reissue and then just do this.

Not entirely sure that there's a gap in the market or a consumer base crying out for these. The 500 series doesn't take up that much real estate, does it?

sgosden

no RV-200 though ... change that maybe to a probably not

Branshen

meh. was really excited and this is a let down.

My first thought. 

These don’t seem HUGELY cheaper than the 500 series, I dunno. They’re kind of ugly too. Looking forward to seeing some in action though, love my DD500

The EQ-200 definitely interests me.

I had the old EQ-20 and it was very useful for instantly swapping from Motown to Slap to Rock Eq on bass.

PMT have them listed at £219 starting price, which is rarely the price these things stay at.

I was always disappointed there was never a RV20, just put the effects from the RV6 into a pedal where you can select more than one option and you've got a winner. My biggest complaint with the RV500 was that Boss didn't have the Modulated setting and it was a little on the boring side, lots of standard verbs but nothing overly creative. They seem to be missing a trick

The Source audio one would do that and is much smaller..

Has anyone done a size comparison with a regular Boss single stomp?

Apart from not going down to 30hz. The SA's bottom is at 62hz.

The Boss has 30 and 60 and those super low freqs are really useful for cutting flub, particularly on hollow stages.

30hz is too low really for actual tone shaping, but as a low pass filter it's great.

The MD-200 and OD-200 look interesting, worth a try out. Wonder how convincing the OD will sound, assume it's digital? The DD-200 looks got for anyone after a cut-down DD-500. As others have said shame there's no RV-200, that would have been right up my street. I sure @ICBM will love the footswitch design ....

I've become more interested now i've seen they're really quite small.
