I just bought a BOSS FDR-1 in very good condition with box and manual. The seller wrote that he is going to send it out today.

Minty! Nice score

I’m tempted sometimes with the odd one here but they are pricey …alas!

Errrm .... this is the one that got lost (or stolen) at the beginning of the tracking.

Damn I’m sorry to hear that. Very dissatisfying

Did you try this tracking site too?

https://m.17track.net/en?v=2

It usually gives notes that are more specific than DHL etc.

There's NO chance that an external tracking service can help us here. It seems to have been stolen in the post office. Or vanished somehow.

Picked up another Behringer PB1000 board to fill and whittling down the wish list for the rest of my collection.

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.
