Boss DN-2 Dyna Drive

     This pedal used to go for over $100.00, then it dropped to around $90.00, now it can be had new for about $50.00.   I don't know if this is limited to stock on hand, it might be on sale for being discontinued, I'm not sure.
     This pedal is in-between an high gain overdrive and a distortion.  Although it's a digital pedal, it still sounds fairly warm and musical.   It's got a fairly transparent tone, none of the mid-scoop and screeching high end of the DS-1.   Although not as sophisticated as the Fulltone OCD, it's got a nice touch responsive mechanism in it's circuit based on the Dyna Amp circuit of the Roland Cube 60, so that when you play softly it distorts less and as you play harder the gain increases.  At it's current price of $50.00, I'd say it's a steal, offering yet another flavor of Boss dirt for the budget-conscious guitarist.
