PN-2 Tremolo/Pan
The Boss PN-2 Tremolo/Pan is a vintage analog effects pedal produced in Japan and Taiwan between 1990 and 1995. Highly regarded for its stereo capabilities, it offers two primary functions: a classic tremolo effect that modulates volume and a panning effect that moves the signal between two amplifiers. Unlike its successor, the TR-2, the PN-2 features stereo inputs and outputs, allowing for immersive spatial textures and "stuttering" helicopter sounds. The pedal's interface is straightforward, featuring Rate and Depth controls alongside a 4-way Mode switch. This switch allows users to select between Pan and Tremolo modes, each offering both triangle and square wave options for either smooth or sharp modulation. Celebrated by fans of shoegaze and psychedelic rock, the PN-2 has become a coveted collector's item due to its short production lifespan and its use by iconic artists like Kevin Shields and Noel Gallagher. It remains a staple for musicians seeking versatile, high-quality stereo modulation.
