Hi, I have two CE-2 pedals, a MIJ and a MIT. But I only have one box, and I can't recall which pedal it goes with. Is there a way to tell? The box has the 'Boss 5 year warranty' sticker on top. There's no barcodes at all on the sides. The short sides of the top of box are white, with the long sides ...

That makes sense I had a look in the manual and see the bit you mention.

The pedal seems to be still working fine, hours later. I wonder did changing the X1 crystal help but I put the thing back together badly and maybe shorted out something accidentally? grounded the signal? I really don't know.

Uuuuuuuuuh..............Right. So. Boredom struck so I decided to pop the RV-5 open again and have a tinker, knowing it was utterly in vain. Last time I'd been at it, I had obviously taken the PCB and jacks out of the enclosure, so one was slightly loose. I finger tightened it back up. I had the bac...

Hi!

That's great that you managed to fix your pedal! I still have my broken RV-5 so I will check those capacitors that you mentioned.

Thanks for adding this information - If it doesn't fix mine, it might help someone else in the future who finds this post

I bought a whole bunch of pedals about 5 years ago, all on ebay, and got reasonably lucky with the prices. But I had a lot of spare time to burn and was constantly refreshing looking to grab the offers as soon as I saw them. I mostly got all the ones I wanted (I bought 11 Boss Pedals in 2019 :o ) I ...

Hi, Thanks so much for replying, that's all really helpful :) I'd say my ears definitely fall into the 'I wouldn't notice a difference' category but I'm still humming and hawing over this - a weird obligation to make this stock with the right parts, to 'restore' it. My DS-1 is a weird one in that al...

Hi, I bought a MIT DS-1 but it's from the era where the internals were still Japanese spec. I had a look inside the other night and noticed the D4 and D5 had been removed at some point in its past. I didn't even realise (I was using it as a boost!) I'd like to return it to stock as much as possible ...

hope these are useful!

Thank you for the suggestions! I'll go with the banzaimusic pot as that seems the easiest solution as I'm based in the EU too.

Hi everyone! I managed to get a PQ-4 for cheap but one of the dual pots is bend slightly. It's the leftmost Presence/Low one - it still works fine but it's a little awkward to use as a result - turning the outer ring will make the inner ring move too at certain points. Is this pot something that exi...
