They are a pretty nice pedal - not much different to the MIJ.

I had one of those and a MIJ version. To be honest, I couldn't hear any difference at all. I gave the MIT back to my friend when he mentioned that he wanted to get a DS1. He gave me the MIT pedal a long time ago, it had no foot plate, so I found one for a NF1 (in Vintage Guitar Magazine, pre internet)

That’s what I’ve always heard and owning a MIJ SD-1 and a BL MIT SD-1 I ended up selling the both eventually and rebought a BL MIT SD-1 so when I found a BL MIT DS-1 I went for it :)
The pedal cleaned up real nice and checking the serial number it’s from May 1988

Really cool! Your old MIT looks to have the same exact style/ colored components. Do you remember what month and year it was?

I don't recall exactly, thought I had a pic of the serial number, but I don't. It was early, like '88 or '89, as my friend bought it new when in high school, and he graduated in 89.

:lol: Funny thing and a statement of my mental health.

I read "NPD Black Label MIT DS-1" as "New York Police Department Black Label MIT DS-1" and
thought : I never heard about that! I must have one of those!

:P

Anyway, congratulations NeavesTheWicked for your new "cop" pedal, it should sound good with those yellow/orange capacitors, I like them better than the Yamato greens.
