New BOSS pedals!

[Pepe]

I received these two RCL-10 Compressor/Limiter Micro Rack units shortly before Christmas. They were declared as defective ("don't power on"). I disassembled them before trying out anything. Everything looked okay and after the cleaning they worked like a charm. I suspect that the seller had a faulty or a wrong power supply. They even came with the original rack adapter! Not bad for around 50 EUR in total, I'd say!



Four birds with two stones: I intended to purchase a second LM-2 one day to use it for true stereo recordings (piano, etc.) along with the NS-50 Stereo Noise Suppressor. Now I can use these two Micro Rack units as stereo limiters AND stereo noise suppressors. My almost unused NS-50 can go now.

I have never heard of the concept of the expander that the RCL-10 offers: just the opposite of a compressor! Louder signals get even louder. Who needs that?

What a score!

These are so rare here I've still never seen one in real life....

Noise reduction... or decompressing signals from a tape deck?

[Pepe]

Ah, that could really be a useful application. But I don't think that I am going to need that function in this life.

Congratulations Pepe ! What a great find and I am so glad they were working. I can’t get enough of these micro rack units

[Old_Iron]

As I said before, those mini rack units are a temptation, I dream about a "stack" with all of them, maybe one day after I have fulfilled my compact line collection goals.

Congrats Pepe, nice score.

Thank you!

Wow, you got a great deal there Pepe!

NS-50 aside, do you have any of the other micro rack units? Actually, does the NS-50 count as a part of the micro rack range? I think those ones were labelled "Boss Pro" or something?

[Pepe]

The NS-50 is from the Pro Series, as well as the SE-50 Stereo Effects Processor that I picked up locally almost ten years ago (I didn't use it for several years ... it's about time to try it out again).

I had the RCE-10 Chorus (received in a pedal tour in 2017 from Mark123), but I sold it again, because I have similar sounding chorus units that I simply use more often. And then I received the RRV-10 Reverb a few months ago (see page 20). And the RPW-7 from the Micro Rack Series is my trusty power supply.

I swapped out the DD7 on my board with a DD8 the other day (one came up s/h at a good price)

I'm loving the 'warm' setting, and the addition of reverb a la RV-3. Otherwise no better or worse than the DD7
