That CE-2W in CE-1 mode is no joke.

The digital metallizer goes so hard. It's overengineered in the best way.

The devil makes work for idle hands.
Had a digital metalizer for years and loved it. Ended up selling it to go a more traditional route, but I do miss it at times.

I sold my Princeton - the buyer sent a photo after he got it home. Surprise vintage Boss collection

I had the same thought

I can understand running delay before chorus (I do the same; it makes more sense for the mono to stereo split) but not before gain stages. Still, the wah (assuming it's not a volume pedal) is in the right place.

Very nice! I've never owned a Boss pedal that early with the number stamp inside.

Apart from some earlier Roland branded pedals I've had, this was my oldest. Serial 7000, May 1978 (so, first 6 or 7 months of Boss compact manufacturing)...
Someone paid me a wild sum of money for that. I don't miss it
I don't remember the serial for this one, but it was a '79 and one of the cleanest I've ever seen...

Wow a Slow Gear too!
Very cool...I've often been tempted to pick up the Boss Noise Gate and have the mod that turns it into a Slow Gear done on it.

Honestly, I wouldn't bother. It's practically unusable
one of the £30 clones do exactly the same (poor) job

Speaking of silver screw boss pedals… it’s been a short while since I realised collecting MIJ Boss pedals was a stupid goal that really would have no end (especially considering there are multiple versions of almost all the pedals). Did a big sell-off to fund a new, more focused Boss game: collect all the silver screw models.
I’m missing two outrageously priced pedals: SP-1 & SG-1. Need to source silver screw versions of the CE-2 & SD-1. Both of them are 1981, so are the first run with black screws. Should be a fun game to try and find those four at a sensible price - 3 of them are v rare, so hoping it keeps me out of trouble for a little while.

Hehehe!! I guess I could also just use my volume pedal...just any excuse to pick up a new fun toy to play with.

I'd love to get my hands on a Spectrum too...I am quite curious about it...it is a simplified parametric EQ if I am understanding it correctly?
I have an Empress ParaEq already...but the simpler nature of the SP-1 is intriguing...
