That's really, really interesting! Can it be that a few of the sought-after long-dash treadles have been collecting dust on a shelf in Japan when they were outsourced in the early '80s in favor of the short-dash treadles? Not only the long dash treadles, but the old back plate labels too. And when ...

I have the same oddball, it seems! I posted on reddit a few years ago when I received it... (edited a bit) I purchased a Boss DS-1 from eBay, and it came from Japan. It was advertised as MIJ. Most things indicate it being MIJ: - Backplate says "Roland Japan" - ACA power supply with correct Japan er...

I heard a long time ago that the GE-7 is the only Boss pedal that, the made in Japan is inferior when compared to a made in Taiwan unit. And the reason is noise, by the time the production was transferred to Taiwan, new chips were available and the noise to signal ratio was much better with those ne...

Oh that's a beautiful guitar!

Greetings everyone! This post will be my first introduction to this forum. My name is Steve and I'm an amateur Boss enthusiast from the south of Sweden. My collection so far is rather small (Only 21 pedals) but I'm hellbent on getting those numbers up as soon as possible. A week ago I managed to ge...

After almost two years (baby break) I have finally done another demo video! This is a new pedal from the maker of the crazy Seppuku FX units. The "Shring" is a very melodic sounding waveshaper. Much better demo than the one I found on youtube. 👍 To me it shines when you played something softly on g...

After BOSS announced the DS-1W, a lot more people than usual watched my SG-1 demo video. I believe that Pepe, I truly do. I saw the comments everywhere over the net, and maybe the "people's will" prevails and Boss ultimately releases the SG-1W, proving me wrong, again. But I dare to say that if tha...

Agreed. An SG-1 clone was the very first pedal I ever built 15 years ago. Wanted to see what the hype was all about. Interesting as a curiosity and as an introduction to pedal electronics... $40 for parts to build one is fine. The cost of the real thing? Ridiculous for what it does. I tell people t...

After the DS-1W release, I've seen many comments on social media about which model will be the next waza craft pedal. I really like this subject, so here we go again. :D People roots for their favorite model, and one that is very popular is the SG-1W. I think that there are some musicians that finds...
