hey guys... i finally decided to join here and share my nasty vice with all of you 
i've been using good ol' boss pedals since day one; started out with my dad's old ('78 IIRC) OD-1 which i still have. and since then i've been hooked to these little "cars" as we call 'em down here.
i've had and sold about ever imaginable roland and/or boss pedal, but then i get those weird seasons when i sell most of them - and regret it later on! 
well now i have 2 "new" old pedals on the way, and they should arrive this week; a nice nice PH-1 with original box, and a 1st edition TW-1 (Touch Wah, NOT the usual T-Wah!) - YAAY!
they will join my old MIJ family: the before mentioned OD-1, my two SD-1 ('81 & '85) and CE-2 (forgot the year), as well as a newer OD-2 and CS-3.
i also have a chance to get an old MIJ CE-1, are these any good? (ok which boss pedal isn't? heh heh)
i'll post pics later... i just wanted to say hello and share my joy.
rock on guys!
Pat. |

Hi there,
I can see why guitar pedals might be called 'cars', in fact I was just reading about those micro Ibanez 808 clone pedals that are literally the size of a matchbox toy car, I've seen them on Ebay.
I don't have a CE-1 but it's regarded by some as the best Boss Chorus (or indeed any Chorus), above even the CE-2 and DC-2. I suppose it depends on the sounds you prefer. It's very collectable, and quite expensive.
Looking forward to seeing your collection pics, it's always good to see them. |

thanks for the reply!
oh good golly, sorry i messed up, the pedal i meant is not the CE-1 but the CS-1 Compression/Sustainer. 
i know the CE-1 and i once had the chance of getting one for around 100 bucks and was stupid enough to decline. oh well, maybe someday...
i'll post the pics as soon as the other 2 arrive... oh yeah!
thanks and sorry again, for the confusion.
rock on!
Pat. |

Hi and welcome...
A PH-1 with a box is a great catch... These rarely come with the box.

Welcome Pacafeliz.
Regarding the CS-1, I greatly prefer the LM-2 or CS-2 for compression. |

hello guys, thanks for the warm welcome... i'm sure we'll have a great time over here. as a humble present, the 1st round is on me!  
yep i'll take some pics in a while just have to wash the dishes first (ah yeah, the beauty of marriage hahaha!)...
i haven't built a "pedalboard" per se for now, as i keep changing pedals constantly. sometimes it's only an od (SD-1, that is) and wah, and sometimes i hook like 12 of them together. it's all about being able to CHOOSE, right 
ok, i'll be back in a little while. c u later guys!
Pat.
ps: i am in Puebla, Mexico. that's a really nice colonial city with pretty much nothing to do... *sigh*
i've been living here since '99, and now that i got married, i think i'm here to stay haha. but later on me further on... |

oh i forgot to post what i have on my "board"...
man yeah i need to build myself a decent pedalboard... or anything better than what i have: NOTHING!
yeah it's been getting more massive since we started swapping the bass in the band (but hey the bassballs is a GREAT pedal for guitar!). i need more cables and a power supply too (hmm how 'bout one of them Boss PSM units?), or else i'm gonna be broke in a few weeks.
but this is basically what i'm gonna be using on saturday. maybe thow in the Coron Space Machine, too...
i have been using my beloved MIJ Squier Strats for years now, but right now i'm in love with my latest find, the '73 tele deluxe (also the butchered '64 jazzmaster). i think i'll take both of them along this time. no strat for me, for now... heh heh
rock on!
Pat. (ok enough pics from me today, or i might get kicked out... or so...) |

| surprised to see the BassBalls - had one 25+ yrs ago that died, remembered it being cool but plugged a bass into one recently & thought it sucked horribly - but would never have thought about using it with a guitar |

yeah it's a fun pedal to play with. stay away from the new ones, as you have already mentioned. this one is a '78 model and is THE POOP! 
Pat.
ps: man the TW should arrive any day now! can't wait!!! |
