It looks strange at first and probably there doesn't have the right sound.
But in Boss's sense, it's not a bad idea, especially if you imagine what's going to happen next ...

True, both sounds amazing, no words :cheers:
All that special vintage gear is nice too!
Battery voltage switch is great, would be cool if it were a bias pot that could be smoothly adjusted plus also turned off

Good god. Are any of these actually selling for 2K?!? It seem inconceivable considering that the real deal sola sound/DAM units can be had for a whole lot less.

I think it’s just a few people who want to be first on the block paying these kinds of sums, for their YouTube income etc, the prices will calm down in a few weeks.

This shrewd guy just sold 2 of 3 for $1500 each in the last 24 hours. He stands to make over 3 grand on his arbitrage:

Based on the irrational exuberance in the used market I don't think the prices for Boss TB-2Ws will drop anytime soon. We should see TB-2W clones soon that will re-enforce the high prices for TB-2Ws :lol:
