I found a used PN-2 at shop in the middle of nowhere circa 1992. I have been using it ever since. I often run two amps and it is handy as a diagnostic tool. Allowing the signal to switch between 2 channels has been very useful to me. If anyone is having trouble with noise put another Boss pedal in front of it. The preceding pedal's buffer helps takes care of it.
There is a video interview with Graham that produce like a pro did breaking down every song on modern life is rubbish and he said that oily water was actually just a std boss tr2 but they did some really cool panning with the sound post production. It's really interesting.
So, I’ve just checked that as Graham def had a PN-2 on his live board, and I’d always thought Oily Water was a PN-2 too, and in the Produce like a pro he doesn’t actually say which pedal it is - just that it’s a boss trem, and considering the PN-2 was a feature on his board all through the 90s and the TR-2 wasn’t released until 1997 (4 years after MLIR came out) I think the PN-2 was the one…
You can do (some of) this on the cheap with two tremolo pedals strapped to the output of a stereo chorus or delay etc. You lose out on any sync but gain in 'natural' width potential for a basic 'spread' that works well at low-intensities to avoid any nulls, or even more subtle to avoid any obvious modulation at all.
I totally though this vid was going to be about the DD-3 because who didn't have one back in the 90's. Happy to see that it was an old fave, PN-2. I learned about the PN-2 from Catherine Wheele. The quiet section in Black Metalic was done with a PN-2 live at least during the Ferment tour. I later acquired one about 98' from a bass player who had no need for it. I used it for many years on many recordings. In 2018 I finally sold it and replceed it with the Boss SL-20 so I could still get the panning and square wave trem action plus a whole lot more. Keep up the great vidz and gaze on!
argh my ocd is getting at me for not mentioning catharine wheel haha! the dd-3 is great & it's really interesting seeing the (sometimes major) differences between boss's delay pedals. i haven't tried the sl-20 but have wanted one for a while, i've got the sl-2, but i do love the form factor of those old twin pedals!
Nice mention of my fellow band member Roland Daum of six string malfunction. Another previous band member Adam Cooper of Alison’s Halo had one as well. We all got them around ‘92 when boss discontinued them and blew them out @ like $29.
oh nice, really interesting bit of info! some of my fave shoegaze bands are really underrated, tryna shine a light on them. i have some videos planned. please consider emailing me at pedalllpartnersss@gmail.com or insta dm. thanks! :)
I've been yelling at people on various shoegaze and pedals related threads for totally ignoring tremolo in "the ideal chain". It's so weird, if you have a tremolo pedal, outside of reverb and a preamp/distortion pedal, you will find yourself messing with it CONSTANTLY when writing music. Delay, your Fuzz War type pedal, chorus/flange/phaser don't even come close. Well, delay actually gets used as much as tremolo when I'm experimenting with sounds. I think I've had so many "don't forget tremolo dammit" freakouts that I'm becoming crotchety and starting to scare small children.
Do you have to have your board/amp set up in stereo to utilize panning though right? I have the tr-2 but was interested in this for the panning feature but have never tried stereo before
tremolo is a fun one to experiment with before & after effects, definitely try it out! for the pan function you'll need it at end of chain *or* use it as a kind of switcher & experiment with different effects after each output.
I've been watching these vids for a while. Shoegaze isn't my thing, but I get it, totally. I make dark ambient and vocal collage soundscapes. I do have a lot of pedals, though, no guitar. This is a new one on me and sounds wrong in a good way. It reminds me of a Gristliser. Another early, highly tweakable Trem style pedal. It's mostly a diy unit, made famous by Throbbing Gristle. It's difficult to actually buy one.
i'm a fan of all things ambient, always find the best bet is to max out the reverb ;) i always love finding pedals i don't know about & sharing them, a lot more to come this year!
@pedalpartners you can skimp on a lot of things but cheap and nasty reverbs are just that. Having said that, a glitchry vocal loop, through a cheap reverb, into an analogue style delay is a nice effect.

Love learning about these pedals. I'm just getting into collecting them for a drone/ambient metal project. Thanks guys!
cheers! much more to come :) keep on dronin'

pretty sure the PN-2 is what Graham Coxon used on Oily Water... easily my fav Blur song

I first used this pedal after borrowing it from Jason Martin of Starflyer 59 back in the mid-90's. I did not want to give it back!
nice! it's a good one :)
Another video, another gem.
Great to see you back.
I finally got the PS3!! It arrived yesterday.
Pedal is weird lol!😂
yessss so happy you got that ps-3 haha, it's a lot of fun & of course very weird!
Bowery Electric mentioned! 🛣️

I was sure this was going to be about the boss GE-7. PN-2 was the 2nd pedal I ever got. Was on clearance for like $30. I love it.
funny you say that, we have some ge-7 stuff filmed ;) the pn-2 is obviously even more fun, $30 is a steal!
I'd love to read those dissertations, it sounds very interesting! Is there a way to access them??
maybe one day i'll put out a book hehe
Always fancied trying the PN-2, there's definitely some cools sounds in that little green box!!
definitely pick one up! vintage boss pedals are always going up in price!
@@pedalpartners For sure, even the Behringer clone is pretty pricey these days!
definitely worth picking up the og! i don't really like (most) clones haha, the plastic enclosure just ain't it! nothing matches the originals 🤩

I only use Boss pedals, but never the tremolo/pan for some reason. I guess I didn’t want to sound exactly like a lot of my heroes.
Where does it go in the chain?
tremolo is a fun one to experiment with before & after effects, definitely try it out! for the pan function you'll need it at end of chain *or* use it as a kind of switcher & experiment with different effects after each output.
I love the tremolo/pan effect in my sp 404 sx
yeah, some of the roland gear has some nice built-in effects!
You guys have your own fuzz pedal? Maybe I should get one...
Have one- it’s great! Definitely recommend.
thanks folks! back in stock www.lifeisunfair.co.uk/product/violet-oscillation-shoegaze-fuzz

Noel Gallagher from Oasis had one, not shoegaze but Britpop.
Wonder how this would some through a rocker 32
If Neil Halstead used PN-2 , I would use PN-2 🎸 !
haha neil's a legend!
woah woah, dissertations on pedals??
yeah! had to be done! ;)

yall should kiss, or do a backflip, perhaps a kickflip
i am not skilled in martial arts if that's what you're asking?!
Then the only option is to kiss
