Most common complaints

In owners' own words

“TC is muddy and blurry.”
— @OrkhanJulfa on YouTube
“My HOF just died 2 weeks ago.”
— @HenrikKleist on YouTube
“I hate shimmer with a passion. Sounds like a cheap Eko Tiger Duo organ from the 1980's.”
— @komimakojaketu on YouTube
“absolutely not a "useful" pedal. The thing can't even handle distortion at all. Its for sure not a daily driver pedal, its more of a specialized sound it provides.”
— @DustinMulligan-w9b on YouTube
“RV6 shimmer killed the HoF 😅”
— @user-nv5cp9um6d on YouTube
“I like both but the mash switch on my HOF2 broke, so I got the RV-6 because Boss pedals are so durable.”
— @mickcrovo5238 on YouTube
“I have send mine immediately back to the seller and bought a Electro Harmonix, a lot better then HOF 2”
— @joseceraia on YouTube
“I had one of those for a week. Sold it quickly. The hiss was present on mine as well and it really did not do a good spring reverb, very tinny and brittle sounding. The hall setting was ok but the others were just blah to me.”
— Stratoskater on Strat-Talk
“I'm very surprised to notice the Reverb Type Selector is almost not dented, so changing from one Reverb type to another feels weird and kind of low-quality. Also, the Footswitch does not click at all.”
— @ZenMountain on YouTube
“I'm don't use the HoF any more as I didn't think its sounds are that great, especially the modulated ones like shimmer.”
— leonardo__10 on Reddit
“HOF 2 main selector knob doesn't notch so it's easy to go past each setting. for the money worth avoiding and the MASH feature is basically worthless. I have one, biggest waste of money on my board.”
— @cambercustom on YouTube
“I have the same issue. Strangely enough, it sometimes fixes itself (so I guess there is no hardware issue). But it always reverts to the same problem after a few on/offs.”
