Just took a trip to the local pawn shop, I found and bought a pedal I need help with.

It's a pink label ce5. But the number is off of the lane so I can't find the year to determin if it's the analog or digital.

How do I find this out guys and gals?

To be 100% sure you will need to take the bottom off and look at the board. If it looks like mine posted on this page: http://www.bossarea.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=4147&whichpage=6 it is analogue.

Version differences
There are 2 versions of the CE-5 where the second version is denoted CE-5A. This is printed on the PCB so it is easy to figure out which version you have. The first version is closely related to the CE-2 and CE-3. It uses the 1024 stage Panasonic BBD MN3007 and its associated clock driver 3101. The CE-5A is completely restructured. It uses surface mounted components and the BBD has been replaced with a digital design. All CE-5s made before October 2001 should have the old circuit. Use the serial number decoder on the 'Other Products' menu to find out when your CE-5 was made.
