Ongoing saga... it is the later year SD-2s that have R100, C100, etc. I managed to get a 1998 in a trade. I also seem to remember having one a long time ago that had a component soldered to the traces side of the board that appeared to be factory done. I was able to find some old threads on various ...

Pulled the service notes for the SD-2 with a date of May 1993 and those do not have the R100 either. I think I'm going to abandon this one from the variant hunt. Ended up overpaying (IMO) for a super clean August 1993 w/ box/manual, only to have it not be the variation and also lost the tone shootou...

Just got one from August 1993 and it also does not have R100.

That is a great deal.

I plan to get one of these but also plan to wait until I can snag a used one for $100-120, or to get it as a bday or xmas gift.

Well... Going on nearly 3 months waiting for my IR2 to arrive! Seemingly, BOSS is inbetween production runs, as many places don't have them, and they are popping up used for nearly new prices. I'm patient, been looking forward to this, and still have my two other IR 'amp' rigs in the meantime, thou...

The other guitarist in my first band in the mid-90s had a Charvel like that. The fretboard width was too much for my tiny hands hehe. I did end up going through a super-strat phase about 10 years ago when I was finally able to play again after almost cutting my finger off in 2008 since they were eas...

You can see that a lot of the electrolytic caps were changed out, a resistor or cap value change here and there and some diodes replaced some LEDs. There is also a cap/resistor parallel piggyback happening right where the two chips meet at the bottom of the board. If you look closely, the older/mod...

Pull the board and mail it to me (don't need the whole pedal). I can fix it for you.

Thank you. Will send a PM

If your unit looks the same inside as this one, I don't know why there is a problem to desolder it: I'm not really confident in my soldering ability to removing a board-mounted pot as I have never done it before. I have read that solder needs to hit both sides of the board or something like that? I...

Thanks. Unfortunately these pots don't have quite the same construction of say a volume pot on a guitar, so it isn't clear where it would penetrate into the shaft with how they fit together. It is also a big pain to remove the pot. I'm worried about ruining the pot entirely since I can't source a re...
