I have never seen the guts of a Distortion + until today. It's funny to see that it is such a compact circuit with only 16 components for everything (including the buffer for the bypass with the simple SPDT footswitch). Yeah. When I was doing my big board of classic circuits my research yielded tha...

Excellent find Pepe and congratulations ! Make sure you open it up carefully. Sometimes these are a mess inside because of the decomposing foam substance that covers the board. I’ve made that mistake a couple of times when changing the batteries in these old MXR pedals. I opened up my 80 D+, 81 Pha...

That seems right to me.

My BOSS FDR-1 is still lost in the mail and the post people are now going on the hunt to find out where it is hiding. Let's see how this ends. In the meantime I have this vintage MXR Distortion + incoming. Declared as defective. But I think that I can cure the problems. MXR_Dist+.jpg Very cool! I d...

My Digital Space D is from February 1992. I'm not 100% sure, but it was my understanding that they were produced consecutively? The Digital Space D was for the Japanese market and the Digital Dimension was the export model. I decided that I had to have the Space D, just because of the cooler name. S...

I landed it! Just gotta wait a month to pick it up-police hold. The velcro is annoying. It's really stuck to the label. Will have to do some delicate surgery when it comes home. An alternative to risking the bottom label would be to keep an eye out for something on the cheap with a “use a coin” bot...

The BF-2 is one of the few early BOSS pedals that I really like very much. It's pretty legendary! This will be my third I have had. I had a black label/black screw I bought new in 83, which I sold around 1991. Picked up the current 89 green label several years ago. Never had a HF2, though. Want to ...

Have a lead on a November, 1980 BF2. Silver Screw, 10000 serial number, black label. Works great. Fingers crossed, gonna check it out tomorrow. My current is a green label MIJ from exactly 9 years later, November, 1989. Cool. I have 2 of those with similar SNs. Compared to the Green Label MIJs I ha...
