The vintage Jen Mister Cry Baby Super is repaired and it sounds awesome! Luckily our dear fuzzbuzzfuzz was able to help me out with pictures of his own Jen Mister Cry Baby, so I quickly found out how the potentiometer had to be wired. It has the great wah sound that I missed when I sold my Jen Doub...

Amongst the collection my BF-2 Green Label is a 1986 issue with those knobs, which I would guess to be standard timeline. Serial in the 600000s. Never seen a HF-2 with those black knobs, certainly unusual. According to the BOSS book codes (in this thread http://www.bossareaforum.com/Forum/viewtopic....

I just grabbed 250 of them, just in case they are in short supply in the future.

How did you purchase those Laurie?

Ah, the stinkfoot article is really good! Thanks for the link, fernieite! So there are late Japanese pedals (all have the blue label) with the square chip (version 2a). I wasn't aware of that. The Taiwanese pedal that I mentioned has the internal PCB mounted adapter jack, so it's definitely a squar...

And indeed what an amazing and rare unit. I do love the unique knobs and graphics of this KORG era.

Ha that is quite magical good find.

I’m very sorry but alas I don’t know anything about that particular unit. I hope other members of the group may be able to help.

I decided to go a little more simple and removed five pedals from the big board. Although it looks rather chunky the basic idea was to simply be foot ready (when singing), with almost no stepping over to a second or third row. RAT or Treble Boost will be always on.
