Boss Pedal Review 67: LM-2 Limiter - YouTube Cameron Johnson

Welcome to the Boss Pedal Project! This is my attempt to collect and review every Boss compact pedal ever made. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss a review! See my current Boss collection here: http://instagram.com/boss_pedal_project Episode 67: LM-2 Limiter As you might have gathered by this point, I’m not a particularly huge fan of compressors on guitar. I do have a handful, even some non-Boss ones, in my collection. However, they are not an effect I typically use in any sort of live band situation. I will say, I was pleasantly surprised with the LM-2. It actually reminded me of some much more expensive compressors I have in my possession. The LM-2 Limiter breaks the Boss tradition of ‘colored’ compression, and gives you a nice, relatively transparent, compressor/ Limiter effect. I generally shy away from more than 2 or so knobs on a compressor meant for guitar. I feel like there is a pretty much a universal sweet spot, and we as guitarists have no business mucking it up tweaking things. I like the Dyna Comp methodology of 2 knobs. Essentially, ‘Compression’ and ‘Output’. The LM-2 includes both of these knobs, but labels them ‘Threshold’ and ‘Level’ respectively. The LM-2 also includes an ‘EQ’ knob, which is pretty handy, and a ‘Release knob’, which is also nice. The EQ knob is especially handy, helping bring back a little top end if you want it. Typical to Boss pedals, setting the knobs all to 12:00 is a good starting point. However, I should note that the Level knob should be set at around 3:00 while everything else is at 12:00. This helps make up the lost gain. At this setting, I was able to get a nice, full, compression without much noise. I also felt like the effect was relatively transparent. I say relatively, because I can still tell I’m playing through a pedal. It’s just not as obvious and squishy as say an MXR Dyna Comp. When run into the high input, I honestly didn’t notice much difference when engaged vs bypassed. There is already compression generated with the amp in a crunchy distortion, so it just sort of blended in. Overall, the LM-2 Limiter is a great pedal. It’s a much more transparent and subtle type of Compressor/ Limiter. If that’s your thing, give this pedal a whirl! -Cameron Johnson Music by Atma Weapon atmaweaponnc.bandcamp.com facebook.com/atmaweaponnc
