Without a doubt, this sound has defined heavy guitar since the late 1960s. This is particularly true with a stack-type amp-when cranked to 11, the tone is simply huge, with super-fat single notes, rich presence, and dynamic responsiveness that makes you want to slam out power chords and riff forever. If you’re a rocker who’s been playing electric guitar for more than a week, you know that cranking your amp up loud usually makes it sound better and more fun to play. Like all Compact Pedals, the Power Stack runs on a single 9-volt battery, or it can be powered with an optional PSA-120S Power Adaptor. It features LEVEL, BASS, and TREBLE knobs, familiar controls on a distortion pedal however, it’s the SOUND knob that is key to this stomp’s unique, wide-ranging voice. The Power Stack has a basic black finish with white lettering and a gold control panel, a color scheme that should give a clue to the type of raging tones it’s designed to unleash. You’ll soon discover why the Power Stack is a must-have pedalboard addition, giving you instant access to the monster sound of a cranked-up stack in the studio, on stage, or in your bedroom. Here, we’ll dive into the philosophy behind this amazingly versatile and remarkably simple pedal and give you some tips on using it effectively. But the latest addition, the ST-2 Power Stack, takes a new and novel approach-more than just a fuzz pedal, it’s designed to deliver real-deal tube-stack tone with any amp.

BOSS’ large lineup of overdrive and distortion pedals is as diverse as it gets, with stomps that specialize in everything from mild blues grit to raging, over-the-top metal.
