As much as I wish I had one.. I'm wondering if ANY skeleton-switch CE-2 pedals exist. Their production began (if Roland is to be believed) in October 79 - this is very near the changeover from clear-to-black switch. Does anyone have a CE-2 #8700 or earlier with a clear switch??

Maybe the changeover was due to the introduction of the CE-2 necessitating a load more switches than they'd ever needed..

Just musing.. thanks for any input!

Not sure if there are any, but I'm sure Dr.Bob would know and/or have one

Hi Christo, verivorax & Guys
This is a question that I can't answer either.

But what I can tell you all,
is that none of the CE-2's in my humble collection have Clear Skeleton switches.

The earliest registered CE-2 serial number is 8300. Unfortunately I didn't write down what type of switch it had.
dm2 has (or used to have) a CE-2 with serial number 8700 but I don't know the type of switch.

8300?? that's pretty early.. That likely had a clear switch. Was it maybe 8800 with part of the "8" missing?

the plot thickens.
