Found this super clean Jan 96 pink label CH1 for $50. The fact that I don't have one (certainly didn't need one!), it's clean, cheap and analog made it come home with me. I'm a sucker for a great Boss deal.
Also, when digging through my box of stored pedals last week, I found this August 82 OC2 Octaver. I don't clearly recall getting it, but it was less than 5 years ago. It must have been another one of those no-brainer, cheap deals in a local shop. It's condition (and presumably MIT Octave pricing) probably came into play. Either way, it was a surprising discovery and I'm treating it like new pedal day!
What I do know is that I have another (cleaner looking) March 83 OC2 Octaver on my big bass board, it’s been there for about 25 years. I had a dark brown MIJ OC2 Octave on that board in the 90s, but the Octaver displaced it. After a few years sitting idle, It seemed silly to have two of these pedals, so I sold the Octave to a bassist friend.
Now, I’m silly again, with two of these. Haha.
