    Yeah, don't think you see many of them around. Always fancied trying one actually.

    I don't know where in Dublin you'd get effects pedal repairs. Doubt any of the guitar shops would . That Aladdin's Amp fella might be able to help.

    yeah out of production a few years the boss ps-5 replaced them, ive both, and the hr-2 isnt even in my chain anymore so cant be bothered really! but theres far more superior harmonists/pitch shifters out there

    The DS-1 sounds horrible out of the box. If it needs repairing you should have it modded while you're at it. Improves the sound no end.

    I know someone who does it. PM me if interested.
