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...

I would really want these pedals, but fearing they have the newer crappy board in them i think i'll pass

Yeah, it's disappointing that they are just Malaysian SMD BOSS. Granted, they look pretty cool, like they are going to a formal dance, New Year's Eve party, etc...

Played one the other day. It's really cool! I might just get one, as I can see this being useful with bass guitar, too. What's really nice is the gain and volume knobs. Being able to dial in a little grit/harmonics is especially cool pushing a dirty amp, which is how I tend to use overdrive pedals a...

I can’t find anywhere that can decode the current serials. All of the Waza (and B50) have production dates in the future.

Put in the order for one. Had to. I really want to have a nice, usable Marshall-type thing for my amp sim pedal. Plus, I want it to be simple to set up, mostly by having a headphone jack. The IR2 has a LOT of settings/platforms, all very useful, and there are a few flavors of Marshall/Marshall adja...

Glad to hear it worked out after your fine tuning and fixes.
Very nicely built, as expected!
After owning a Klone, it makes sense why they are so popular.
