Hello. At first sorry for my bad English. I'm looking RDD63H101 controller - large chip used in BOSS DD-2, DD-3. I can not get anywhere in Poland. Can someone from colleagues can advise where I can buy it and they may have to sell? What is its price? Yours PW
Chances are those chips are out of production, thats why Boss went to the newer chip. You may be lucky enough to find a NOS sitting somewhere. You could also keep an eye out for broken DD2/3 on evilbay, and scavenge the part from there. What you need it for, Delay clone...
As far as I know this is a Hitachi chip. Even if you can get hold of it it will be useless for you since in needs to be programmed with Boss DD2/3 software.
I think this is an ASIC/VLSI gate array type of chip. Therefore, even if you are lucky enough to find a replacement, the code that Boss used to implement its functionality will be still missing (as Dirk mentioned).
Certainly many chips was to booked for authorized BOSS services and probably to lie the shelves. I heared that this chips seldom was to damaged. Can you help me and to ask about this chip in your service points ROLAND'S? I will be obliged for help.
Thanks for interest my problem. I have schematic this device. RDD63H101 has defect. CAS1 in the pin 51 (IC7) no signal. Only way is replacement this chip. Can you help me with look for in your country? Greetings from Poland. (Do You know where is situated my country?)
Depending on what it's worth to you? You have a couple of choices.
You could scrap it & use it to repair other Boss pedals. we all have a few really dead pedals in our goodies boxes. Or. Perhaps you would have better luck emailing various Roland-Boss dealers, in different parts of the world.
