Hello all,
I have a HA-5 Play Buz from Boss that I bought in 83, or 84. I can't find any info on it. I guess you would call it something like a walkman amp. It has head phones with a built in mic, Distortion, Chorus and delay built in to the box. Anyhow, if you have any info on this let me know. |

This is not compact pedal related so I moved the topic.
The HA-5 will be covered in the soon to be published other products area of the site. Here's the description I've written up for it.
HA-5 Headphone Amp, Play Bus
This small amp has a rather ambigous name. Is it Headphone Amp or is it Play Bus? Well, it's both. It was on the market from 1983-1988 (unconfirmed). The HA-5 is the same size and shape as a Sony Walkman (R) which happened to be the most popular portable music player at the time. It doesn't have a speaker but instead you play through the optional RH-11M stereo headphones.
The HA-5 has built-in overdrive, stereo chorus and stereo short delay functions. There is a microphone jack with a separate volume control. This makes the RH-11M headphones ideal as it has a muilt-in microphone. The Play Bus part of the HA-5 comes from the ability to connect several HA-5 units together. Using a Multiple Jack J-5 as many as 4 people can jam together over the play bus.

Sorry for posting in the wrong area.
Does anyone know what the value would be for one of these? I'm not looking to sell, but just curious. |

I saw that on an online shoopping site here in Japan. They sell it roughly 90-100 bucks.  |

Not a lot, I'm afraid.
The last one sold on Ebay went for $16. |

Thanks for the info. I thought it them being hard to find it might be worth something.
Maybe I can find the headset with mic then. It was a great little jamming unit. |
