I do remember a DS-1 box that had faded in the sun to a pale yellow. I don’t think I saw it here though - possibly Facebook

Re: Boss pedal photo thread
Thanks Doc
Yeah, I thought about fading as being a possibility, but the whole box is the exact same colour. If it had faded, I would have thought that there would be some differences of colour on the sides. (However, perhaps not)

Ok, so I took a picture of it. I'm pretty sure I've seen a couple in this colour before. Maybe the earliest (1978/79) ds-1 cutout boxes were yellow, like this, or they faded extremely evenly?

Re: Boss pedal photo thread
Might be the dye in the colouring fading after 40 years exposure to oxygen in the atmosphere?
Re: Boss pedal photo thread
All boxed up ! Please forgive me if I’ve posted this one before. Almost there - just a boxed Touch Wah to go It’s surprising just how little space this lot takes up in an Ikea ‘Billy’ bookcase
Of course, the TB-2W is missing and will remain so until the scalping frenzy is over !

As regards the scalping frenzy it will certainly be ongoing for years but, really, I couldn’t give a flying ferkin about it now. I’m just looking forward to getting a much better pedal from a much better builder now !
