BOSS ST-2 Power Stack Distortion Pedal with Stack Amp Modeling, Wide Gain Range, Two-Band EQ, and Touch-Responsive Tone Control (ST-2)
The BOSS ST-2 Power Stack is a powerful distortion pedal designed to deliver the fat, dynamic character of classic tube-based stack amplifiers in a compact stompbox. Drawing on decades of BOSS amplifier modeling research, the ST-2 provides a broad range of stack-style tones, from mild vintage crunch to aggressive modern high-gain distortion, without requiring the extreme volume of a fully cranked amplifier.
The ST-2 features an innovative Sound control that simultaneously adjusts gain and tonal character, providing an exceptionally wide range of sounds from a single knob. Whether you're looking for warm overdrive, classic rock crunch, powerful distortion, or extreme high-gain tones, the Sound control makes it easy to quickly shape your guitar's character.
The pedal delivers highly responsive amp-like dynamics, reacting naturally to picking intensity and changes in your guitar's volume control. Play softly or roll back the guitar volume for cleaner tones, then increase your playing intensity or guitar volume to produce increasingly saturated crunch and distortion.
For additional tonal control, the ST-2 includes a two-band EQ with dedicated Bass and Treble controls. These allow you to fine-tune the low-end weight and high-frequency presence of the distortion, helping the pedal fit naturally into different amplifiers, guitars, and musical styles.
The ST-2 covers a versatile range of tones suitable for everything from classic rock and vintage-inspired crunch to modern hard rock and heavy distortion. At lower Sound settings, it produces articulate and responsive drive, while higher settings deliver powerful gain with substantial low-end depth and a cutting upper range that helps the guitar remain prominent in a full band mix.
Built with the reliability expected from BOSS, the ST-2 combines straightforward controls with expressive performance capabilities, making it a practical choice for guitarists who want powerful stack-amp-inspired distortion in a pedalboard-friendly format.
