So thanks to
@stefb i received my new FB-2 yesterday.
I only had chance to play it at low volumes as the kiddie winks were in bed but i liked what i heard, a lot.
The only way i can think to describe the feedback feature is the pedal seems to open up the sound like two vertical metal plates which were previously held together are moved apart and all of the sound is allowed through. It sounds like a microphone has been placed over the pickups because you can hear knocks against the guitar body when no note is played.
But once that note is played and the feedbacker is activated (hold down pedal for .5 of a second, wonderful things start to happen even at such low volume. A beautiful crisp feedback tone is produced and the resonance of it can be increased/decreased at the turn of a dial.
You do have to keep the pedal pressed down of course so maybe the Freeze may have been a better choice but i don't think that can be used as a boost like this one can.
I can't wait to get this sucker intertwined with my board and get some delay in there and some swirly feedbacky goodness.

The boost is quality on this too.
Great pedal, mine has been on my board for a while.
However, my only complaint is that, as I use mine for a mid boost, if I want to turn the pedal on to use it for it's feedback capability, I also have to deal with a bump in mids/volume rather than just adding some cool feedback.
I'm just too fussy...
