Welcome to one of the best little forums on the interwebs man! I figured you'd fit right in.

This place evolved from the old Bossarea forum to the Stompboxzone to Bossarea Forum again. It's probably THE best place to discuss Boss related things; unofficially of course...

I like to display my collection in order of model release date, and before I had the Boss book I took an old Boss web page as reference.

Now that I have the book, I decided to use it as the reference, so I did a list based in information from the book and cross-reference with another sources, as follow:

- The Boss Book
- https://www.stompboxzone.com/decoder/
- https://www.boss.info/us/promos/40th_an ... ct_pedals/ (scroll down the page to find the release sequence)
- https://bossarea.com/
- https://gitaargast.nl/bossarea.php
- My collection https://i.postimg.cc/bJHQcRcs/20210922-104219.jpg

There are conflicts of information (*), so if you guys spot anything wrong or if you have something to add, please do it posting below and I will do the correction.

I hope this can be useful to new collectors.

Cheers.
