BOSS TB-2W Tone Bender Ep.1: Sola Sound story by Ant Macari

[@deviprasadgarnayak4016]

This is the highlights of 2020 Keep it up boss and keep them coming

[@DreCarvalho]

Great collab. And nice to see Mr Barrie Cadogan's fantastic playing.

[@SoMyungJung]

British accent makes any story fascinating

[@vvitchtripper]

Innit?!

[@mattrussell106]

Not if you're British 😁

[@timfender0740]

Its not an accent..its just how things sound when pronounced propperly

[@kimL93]

Yes but why im also wonder bout it

[@cchavez248]

That smile as he describes experiencing the sound of the new Boss/ Solasound pedal!

[@DeafBunnysBand]

Ant is one of the guys we so NEED to keep the history of rock and roll ALIVE! Nowadays as we sit at home and create whole tracks totally on our own it's so easy to lose the so very important BACKGROUND of the rock we're creating. THREE generations is an amazing feat these days! BTW, both of us looked over at each other at 7.20 when he says "Went through my stash of Mark II's." Stash!?! (Heavy sigh... ;-) ROKKON! \m/

[@ReubenYzelman]

Love seeing Barrie Cadogan playing through a Tone Bender. Got a Tone Bender Bat Supe and its awesome, am waiting for this Boss TB-2W and it sounds amazing 😊

[@frantisekvtelensky820]

No matter how many boutique pedal companies are out there, there is still this one called (THE) BOSS. And they've done it again!

[@JoePerkinsMusic]

Great story & tones. Always love Barrie Cadogan's playing too :-)

[@planzed463]

This is an amazing calibration 🖤.. I bought my first guitar in Denmark street (it’s my local)... I also love fuzz, fuzz is life & BOSS, well i couldn’t do what I do without there innovation.... & now this pedal, omg I want one!!! 🇬🇧🔥🇯🇵

[@puyous]

What’s really cool is to hear Barrie Cadogan play 🤩

[@vintagepipesnightmares]

Yes! New Boss pedal. Of course it will make history. Too bad I can’t afford one right now. Damn how I wish I could ! You know it’s 2020

[@metal571]

First this, then HM2 Waza coming soon too? You guys are killing it

[@TomaszAgencki]

Great campaing. HUGE storytelling power. Keep up with the good work.

[@ditchgator1]

Thanks to Ant for keeping the dream alive...you ROCK! 👍😎❤🖖

[@Redhotchilipprs]

His reaction to when he received the pedal gave me goosebumps

[@JustPlayItLoud]

All the predictions were wrong, and that’s honestly a good thing in this case because none of those options were as awesome as this. Haven’t bought a new Boss stomp box in years and now I’ll need to buy two with this and the HM-2W coming

[@ssideline]

This is HUGE. Thank you!

[@bmjames]

Actually it's quite compact compared to the original

[@DenisSurette]

I love this collaboration so much! Well done!!

[@KRAZEEIZATION]

It's not one for me but it's great to see Boss continuing to brach out and collaborate.

[@paulwatts003]

I'm still gutted that Macaris shop in London is no more. I brought several pedals from them. I would have liked to have brought this one from there too. But anyway, this is a great collaboration. Love Sola Sound fuzzes. Love Macaris. Love Boss. Ticks all the boxes for me! Cannot wait to get my hands on one.

[@AtomMotherHeart]

They shut down?

[@paulwatts003]

@@AtomMotherHeart Sadly yeah. Fortunately, the company still exists here; www.macaris.co.uk/ But the famous shop has closed. instagram.com/p/CCl6PUGpSMa/

[@DeafBunnysBand]

Think they were talking about covid shut-down when said "closed." Also, pretty sure they moved to "the 'burbs" as we say over here in the States. Gonna miss the old storefront though, was a stop in every time we landed in the UK. We totally love knowing this backstory after all these years! Gotta go! Time to get our Ronson on! ROKKON! \m/

[@paulwatts003]

@@DeafBunnysBand oh yeah, they now have a shop in Haywards Heath, Sussex. But their iconic shop in Charing Cross road has closed. This is what i was referring to. Sorry for any misunderstanding. Yeah we were always in there. Literally bumped into Chrissie Hynde in there!

[@DeafBunnysBand]

@@paulwatts003 I'm the dude in this (now) 2-piece outfit and Chrissie is one of my heroes! Never met a single real rocker or somebody like Ant (that I didn't pay to meet...) in my whole life, but she is in my top 5! Thanks for the tip on the location: We thought the new store was like us to Philly (we can see the Art Museum from our roof on a good day) but it's a real haul... ROKKON! \m/

[@Filmandmusicdegenerate]

Love Macari’s one of the coolest families ever and the best music store on the planet thanks to them

[@guitarpiratespodcast]

I'm over the freaking moon about this!!!! Woooooooo!!!!

[@michelinman666]

Awesome, love this story! Hopefully not a 2 year waiting list for this on : P

[@ianjarrold6423]

Now THIS sounds fantastic!

[@kg123krh]

WOOOOO yeah baby! That's what I've been waiting for, that's what it's all about!!

[@slashgee7827]

Barrie & that '55 custom are class.

[@chriscampbell9191]

Great story here. There are so many iconic boost pedal tones, but Solasound's tone really set the stage.... Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck, Mick Ronson... tone that is hard to beat, really.

[@andybungert]

Alright. He convinced me that my pre-order this morning, will be worthwhile

[@GuitarBailey]

Absolutely what was needed to add to my board lovely

[@tubularbill]

What a wonderful history

[@jayeagle8363]

Frigggg offff guys !!!!🤣 now im wanting a boss pedal ......jeeeeeezzz.❤

[@pooritech]

Hear the man say the word : authentic!

[@rob28781]

What a story!

[@josephpickard3108]

Loved that they got Little Barrie to rip it up. if you ever get to go to Macari's in Denmark Street, do it!

[@kalkidasofficial]

🔥🔥🔥 this news really made 2020 better!!!

[@TheKirby366]

Wish Barrie Cadogan would’ve been credited in the description, one of the best players around

[@JacksonDukes]

What a great storyteller this guy is

[@i.r.theofficial]

It's incredible!

[@jinbyun]

what?! I clicked on a whim and was blown away! tone bender in boss form factor would sell like hotcake! time to sell my pedal board.

[@ShaheedShabazz]

This is a fantastic story!!!!!

[@TheBanana93]

Holy fuck I live next to their new shop. This is mad I spoke to Ant like 2 days ago what a legend

[@Cyberbehni]

Got goose pimples everywhere - great story, great sound!

[@thalesb1324]

To really come full circle you have to make a metal zone in a tone bender box!

[@bmjames]

Please can someone with photoshop skills mock this up. I want the Zone Bender to be real!

[@thalesb1324]

@@bmjames Yes, please!!

[@machmen1000]

I bought a Freakenbender from this guy in 2019 for my 50th birthday in London. Yes I am bragging. I’ll be in line for one of these.

[@benjaminfowler4513]

Finally. Mk2 for me

[@roscoewy]

Nice to see the Selmer amp being used... well, doesn’t look to be mic’d up, but it’s there

[@Gibson1976uk]

I’m really pissed off with Andertons, I wanted to pre-order this as soon as I could and they never gave me the heads up about when the pedal came in etc. I totally missed out on getting my order in and really wished I went with GAK instead :(

[@jburdsinfuse]

Their pedals are so good. I've had a board packed with "boutique" pedals for years. I've slowly started seeing my board change. I'll likely replace my EHX fuzz with this. To go along my SY, Reverb and Waza Metal Zone. Great stuff, great price and easy to use. How can we go wrong?

[@plumdumb00]

Can’t wait

[@内藤朱夏]

最高！早く手に入れたいです！！

[@jestercabrieto6526]

The sound of led zeppelin,cant wait to try it out,congrats to boss and yoshi

[@wildfeuer]

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreaaaaaaat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@doctoribanez]

Sounds awesome

[@gramsci420]

Well... hadn’t anticipated that

[@antalantal2366]

For this pedal they should put up a reservation website and allow only a limited number of pedals to be sold to the same person. It is not a perfect solution but it would keep the wildest speculative buyers at bay for a while

[@gilbertdomingo3836]

This made my 2020 #BossLover

[@BedroomNoiseProject]

💯🔥

[@centerfoldstands2750]

If this guy was selling boxes of dog poop, I would buy them. Great story and great promo!

[@RevDannyBlack]

Would have been great if Barrie was playing the Boss pedal the whole time.

[@Robsie1]

Does anyone know if it was also a Tone Bender being used on Somebody Help Me by Spencer Davies Group? That lovely thick creamy tone, much more subtle than the harsh buzzing tone on Keep On Running.

[@MilesTippett]

He sounds like a polite John Lydon!

[@Mujcanal]

Got same impression 😎👍

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

I've talked to him personally and he's an EXTREMELY nice and down to earth guy.

[@JammyGit]

Oh man I would love to spend a day on Denmark Street and go in all those historical guitar shops 😍 The problem is that I'd need at least 5 grand in my pocket, just in case I find 'the one' I doubt that I'll ever have that much money to blow on a shopping trip unless we were to win the lottery 🤞😆👍

[@LukasHaydenOfficial]

Yessss!!!!

[@backlom]

8:55 There’s the price answer: Unobtainium for the casual guitarist.

[@thislisa]

That is my concern as well. Not going to be your usual $250 Waza.

[@alwilliams1997]

This is great

[@gaetanasusani6350]

Spariamo di riuscire a comprarlo........🙏

[@tubularbill]

When will this be available for sale?

[@thomas79marshall]

What are these like with SS amps? I use a Roland JC-120 live and a JC-22 at home.

[@powdermnky007]

Where are you at Josh Scott?

[@jordandangelo180]

Just wondering the same thing

[@powdermnky007]

@Your Name LOL learn to code? I already know how. I know he put that pedal out, that's why I commented his name. Anyway, I just wanted him to comment to see his good vibes and chat with him. :)

[@blankvrs]

I'm not really a fan of Fuzz, but this is a cool story.

[@jroobz]

YES

[@JammyGit]

What a f@ckin plank am I? When I read the thumbnail I thought it said B-bender pedal. I thought 'ooh that sounds interesting, and it saves hacking lumps out of a Telecaster'......then I realised it was a Tone Bender and not a B-bender. Dear me, I must need glasses now 😆😎

[@frommonkeytoman]

is that Barrie Cadogan on 🎸 ??? no info in the credits

[@gato_urzua]

Quiero uno❤

[@mrcali68]

When and where???

[@scramblesthedeathdealer]

I want one of these so bad, but thanks to scalpers, the lowest price I've seen was just shy of $800 😔

[@daviddorrian5349]

Boss can you confirm is this going to be a limited run or a standard line pedal?

[@naxxodrop]

When i'ts gonna be on market for Mexico? I really fucking want one of those pedals.

[@SimpleManGuitars1973]

Is a Vox Tone Bender as good as a Sola Sound Tone Bender? I guess I'm saying are they exactly the same?

[@BubbleWrapPerson]

I can’t believe how divisive this pedal is. People either understand it or hate it.

[@bioklastik1062]

How do you pre-order one of these?

[@11calman]

It's a pity that the new boss/Tone bender, is not the same shape as the old pedal

[@mrcali68]

When can we buy these???

[@BOSSinfoglobal]

More details coming soon!

[@ElcanaldeReyesManuel]

Estupendo

[@spudvader]

Get the feeling that this guy would try and sell you a chocolate frying pan

[@jimh8422]

I dont believe boss got ahold of a small qty of anything. In fact my guess is they had the transistors made

[@thechronicnoizeco.6675]

2020 isn’t a complete disappointment

[@BladeDoomer86]

Is that Jonny Greenwood playing? 😉

[@FlagadaJohn]

No, it's Barrie Cadogan from Little Barrie, if you don't know him, check him out, he's an awesome guitar player! kzbin.infovideos

[@kenquid8091]

Love the history behind it and all that but honestly, I've always hated fuzz boxes. The sound just drives me crazy.

[@Biggerbyte]

It would be nice if we could actually hear the pedal..

[@nazarenkodenys]

Proper marketing! Cool 🤗

[@adamnichols2762]

ill take 2 please

[@averyadrian1534]

Sooooooo what does it sound like???

[@incubism]

Shut up and take my money!

[@grig151]

Hope it will be under 300$

[@andreasf6671]

Aaaaand it's gone. :/ Any alternatives?

[@evanwilliams8908]

I was waiting for the mystical mojo to come into the story. It’s just an old circuit, guys. You measure the values of the components and you rehouse them into a boss case.

[@nazarenkodenys]

Yups The hardest part of life is actually to deliver

[@bubu89136]

Exactly correct. It's all hype, and people fall for it. Lots of people are already making this circuit, again. I think the Boss case is naff, as well. If Boss was making this affordable for the average guy, then that would be great, but I'm sure they will gouge people. You can already smell it.

[@curtrod]

how much?

[@chusmusic]

yes

[@dblat1291]

Why even bother with putting out videos of this when there is no chance of ever getting one? These were immediately completely sold out at Andertons UK, and nowhere to be seen elsewhere USA side. Sweetwater rep said, when asked about availability, that this pedal was "discontinued". I expect these to start popping up on the 2ndary market soon at obscene scalpers prices. Figure the youtubers and select stores that got them will be making a killing on them. Glad I just got the JHS bender, get the same tone without the premium price. Guess instead of paying up the wazoo for this Boss pedal you can just go to Macari's and get the real deal and a nice story from Ant to boot.

[@marvinm.messier1120]

Lil' Fucken Barrie is just hammering away and won't shut up, while Ant is trying to wax poetic... So, where do I get one?

[@TheKaiminator]

"very limited run of because of a very limited number of transistors" = more expensive than a real one.

[@backlom]

Exactly. I thought Boss is for the working man, not for the rich.
