Description
Emerging from the '90s, the Boss PN-2 Tremolo/Pan has managed to maintain its charm among musicians despite its short production lifespan. Its successor, the TR-2, lacks the PN-2's signature stereo outputs and panning effects, making the PN-2 a coveted piece of gear. With its Rate and Depth controls and a 4-way Mode switch, the PN-2 offers an impressive array of sound options. Whether you prefer Pan-sawtooth, Pan-square, Trem-sawtooth, or Trem-square wave options, this pedal brings unparalleled versatility to your setup.
Key Features:
- Stereo outputs for diverse soundscapes
- Panning effects for added depth and texture
- Rate and Depth controls for precise sound shaping
- 4-way Mode switch, offering Pan-sawtooth, Pan-square, Trem-sawtooth, and Trem-square wave options for greater sound variety
