Hi there!
This is my first post here. I got my first Boss pedal in 1984 and it was a DF-2. Then I sold it and got a BOSS BE-5. After that I got a KORG A4. So, after a long time of making mistakes, I deicided to sel my KORG 4 in January and begun to buy stomp pedals again and that was the best dicison I ever made! So, my setup is:
GTR --> TU 2 --> MAD CAT (it�s an amazing distortion stomp pedal made here in Rio in Rio de Janeiro,Brazil. Everybody is bying this pedal, even if people from the showbusiness! It�s like Turbo Rat, I think)--> OD 1 (JAPAN with JRC 4558) --> MXR Micro Amp ---> BF2 (japan with JRC)--> Ibanez Super Stero Chorus SC 10 --> RV3.
I play hard rock music like the old bands from 1982/83 and I need an equalizer now. Every guitarist loves the BOSS GE7 and I�m in love with that pedal too. Are there ANY differences between the Japanese version and the Taiwan version? I want to get the best! No more mistakes!
God bless you all!

Welcome to the form Johnny! I heard that there is NO difference between Jap pedals and Taiwan pedals. So I'd go with either. |

| welcome, John! I've never compared MIJ/MIT GE-7s, but my older MIJ GE-7 is pretty noisy. I'm going to hold off judgment on this GE-7 until the schematic and service notes I ordered arrive, but in the meantime I recommend trying before you buy (preferably with your complete setup) if at all possible. |

For what it's worth... I own a few MIT and a few MIJ pedals and I think there is definitely a difference between many of them. I can't speak too much about the components used, as I am not that "electronically savvy" but regarding tone, God gave me a pretty good set of ears. I have a MIJ GE-7 and it worked really great back when I used to use it.
My comparison results of MIJ vs MIT:
CE-2 MIJ vs CE-5 MIT
CE-2 MIJ for sure
SD1 MIJ vs SD1 MIT
SD1 MIJ for sure
CS-1 MIJ vs CS-3 MIT
Both Good...different sounds
DD-2 MIJ Vs DD-6 MIT
DD-2 Hands Down
Just my thoughts...Others are way more knowledgeable about this than I am though.
Merry Christmas,
Roger

surely, there's no differences between Ge7 mij & mit. but actually, i have friend that his ge7 doesnt work good when it plug with Psa230 adaptor. Led indicator doesnt light at all, with that kind adaptor.

i guess his ge7 must be conected with aca adaptor,... hmmm...

If you share a PSA type Boss pedal in a daisychain with an ACA type Boss pedal the ACA will work fine with a PSA adaptor. There are some topics here on the forum about that that can be of help, if you do a search.
