Hi Folks!, Im'new here. 
I'm nog into old and obscure pedals, but I liked my DS-1 so much, that I found this forum. I've never treid the difference between Japanese and Taiwanese pedals, but what I do know, is that I like my MIT DS-1 which was actually build this year. So what if a 1983 MIJ sounds a little better? I like it the way it is.
Anyway. This thursday I went to the store - yes to the store - and bought a DS-1, an MD-2 and a TU-2. All made this year. All Taiwanese. Oh, and I still didn't own a wah, so I bought a Crybaby as well.
That is, I already got a CS-3, an FDR-1 and an FBM-1. That's right, I actually started my boss pedal collection with two brand new pedals. I already had an Line6 Echo Park & Über Metal, an Electro-Harmonix Holy Grail (my first pedal (!)) & Double Muff, an Ibanez CF-7 & SYB-7. I started with pedals when I was a bass guitarist in a band. Hence the syb-7 & holy grail which were my first pedals. No pedalboard yet, though. Am thinking about building one, but want a few pedals more. Some of which I'm waiting for (don't even want to buy them all at once, even if I could/can), some of which I'm not certain of (yet).
So yeah, I'm a player, not a collector. Oh, and I'm Dutch. Making that statement here might actually be humorous given the fact that Dutch are known for keeping things cheap. I guess it shows then? :) |

Ja, hartelijk welkom een beetje vers bloed is nooit weg en kijk uit voor het boss verzamel virus, ik wil nog wel zien of je de verleiding kan weerstaan als je een silver screw, momentary led, made in japan long dash ds-1 tegenkomt......
translation for all of you who can't read dutch:
Welcome blablablabla ds-1....... |

Haha, I guess we have to cause everything is so f...g expensive here in Holland compared to the states or other countries.
Man, I love eBay, finally we have the chance to purchase cool stuff which would normally only be available to the US or Japan.
Plus, it's a lot cheaper that way, I can't tell you how many stuff I allready bought online in Germany. 
Anyway, welcome man, it's always nice to see other Dutch people in here. |

Groovy, I just won a GE-7b, the old brown bass EQ on Ebay.
And whaddaya know, it's also here in Holland So that saves a lot of postal costs.
It's gonna look so cool next to the CE-2b and the BF-2b, all brown pedals 3 down, 2 to go. |

Ok, in populating my pedalboard with Boss I had originally purchased the BD-2 & a day or two later the OD-3 for comparison. I opted for the OD-3 & it has performed wonderfully.
Thing is, I didn't have a good biting crunch so now after 6 months or so, I went back & bought the BD-2 for permanent residence before my PW-2 & MT-2. I'm glad I did. The BD-2 has just enough oomph for my style of playing that has been missing all this time. W00t! |
