Does anyone know why the serial number decoder comes back w/ error messages even for type IV algorithm that has been confirmed as accurate ?

I keep entering the code on a CH-1 in the proper protocol and the %$#@! thing DOESN'T WORK.

I'm a newbie and would be eternally grateful if you guys/gals could prescribe a fool-proof method of recognizing an ANALOG CH-1 Super-Chorus.

Thanks

Look at the bottom label again...does it say anything about "This Class-A Digital Device...." on it? If it doesn't, yours should be analog.

This is not always true, I had a BF-2 that said "This class A...".
As fas as I know BF-2 was never digital.
It is possible that the bottom plate of my BF-2 was taken from another pedal...

What is the serial number that you entered?
Maybe you left a space character between the letters and the digits?

Nope.

This has happened with 3 codes I punched in and even though these fit the protocol (2 letters - 5 numbers) it still keeps returning "must be between 4-7 characters" error mssg.

It has worked with some others so I know I am damned sure I'm gonna get me a luscious Super Chorus.

These are going out like CRAZY on eBay.

We all know who INVENTED the electronic effect; are some players just discontented w/ their Boss' and looking for higher-end "boutique" offerings? I've seen the rigs of the stars and plenty of 'em use Chorus Ensembles; Zack Wylde leaves his on ALL THE TIME.

I just hope I get that spiritual, special high I did when I was a kid.

I'm not able to make it fail with any random serial numbers I enter right now.

To debug this I will need to test with one of the serial numbers you entered. I would also like to know which browser you were using at the time. The decoder was only ever tested with IE and Firefox so maybe that's where the problem lies?

I have a CH-1 Serial #CB14858, which according to the decoder was made in February 1990. Are you looking to buy, because I'm looking to sell.
