Looks almost the same as the Phase II they showed in the previous Instagram post.
In that upper right corner, it looks like the bottom of the 'w' at the end of each Waza model number.This doesn’t look promising. Guess we’ll see. Many times companies in Japan are given a license to print money, but sadly,...

it is most definitely painted.Fellas that's an unpainted pedal.
The Fz-2 has a clear coat and a tighter grain, and they normally don't cut any corners on recreating the paint of the original.
Phew, I was worried nobody would get the reference."That's no moon.....it's a D(eath)S(tar)-2W......"
Agree, hope it doesnt sound like I'm throwing shade the the MT2W, I love mine!the pedal community is large and diverse, The MT-2w rocks.
I think I get the joke, the EQ?Judging by the colour/finish this pedal should be able to raise the dead, and if it cannot I will be furious
Boss UB-40 signature pedal confirmed.
No, but it will pair well with your red, red wine.Does it enhance cheesy pop tone?
I like the conspiracy theory and honestly it makes sense to read, but remember BOSS does not have any history of making intentionally cryptic posts / teases a la Strymon or Copperstone. I honestly believe they are intentionally misleading and/or having no real meaning behind the two current posts.My official prediction... Boss Univibe!
EVIDENCE:
1) This image shows the mystery pedal between the Waza tuner TU-3w and vibrato VB-2w. What Boss pedal starts with U? None of them!

2) On the BossFX_US Instagram page they state "Like nothing we've ever created before." While there are Univibe algorithms on many Boss multi-fx they have never done a standalone Univibe pedal. Along with the ring mod it's one of the few 'traditional' effects to never have a stand alone release by Boss. It wouldn't really make sense to make such a statement if this is an FZ-2, HM-2, or phaser.
3) The color. The pedal shown in the close-up is NOT a raw enclosure. It's a silver hammered finish. While the silver has a passing resemblance to the FZ-2 (solid silver metallic) it isn't quite the same thing. But what does it bear a resemblance to? The original Unvibe had a somewhat similar silver/gray finish on most of the enclosure. Many of the units do show somewhat of a hammered/textured finish.

4) Boss clearly knows how much I want an HM-2w and FZ-2w and they'll stop at nothing to dangle the prospect in my face for the rest of my life.
There you have it. Prepare your boards for the Boss Univibe! Or not... it's Friday and my work day is complete. Time to actually play instead of ogling gear.![]()
It could also be Hammerite paint.... as per Fuzz Face, ToneBender etc.Fellas that's an unpainted pedal.
The Fz-2 has a clear coat and a tighter grain, and they normally don't cut any corners on recreating the paint of the original.
I don’t actually care about the pedal. It’s fun watching this place get heated over nothing.Maybe I'm old, but this whole tease game is so pointless. Just release the damn thing and we'll either get it or not. What a waste of energy.
...you mean like how they did it last time with the SY-1w and MT-2w? I don't mind their mixed approach, myself.Maybe I'm old, but this whole tease game is so pointless. Just release the damn thing and we'll either get it or not. What a waste of energy.
ok good. You were on my naughty list for a sec there.Agree, hope it doesnt sound like I'm throwing shade the the MT2W, I love mine!
