Excellent. Just need the manual now!

I can certainly live without one.

@Pepe : Cool, the DS-2 !

Picked up a few 80s pieces for a really good deal:
-a cool trio of pedals, 86 CS2 and PSM5 and a 85 NF1. All are super clean, they were kept in the BCB6 all these years, never gigged. I'm thinking of doing the SG1 mod to the NF1, been wanting a CS2, and can always use another PSM5.

-an 86 BCB6 with the 5 short cables and a modified daisy chain cable, no long cable. He had extended the last two power plugs on the daisy chain with some wire and added another power cable to it (he had pedals in the BCB6 and a couple on a music stand). I returned the daisy chain back to its original spec. He also roughly cut out in/out cable access holes (a la BCB6G), so I expanded them to work with stereo in/out pedals, as well as cut out some access for the in/out jacks of a TU2/3. Gonna use these access mods to use this board with a TU2 and the 5 other pedals from a certain bass board, will be able to remove the PSM5 and TU12H. Been wanting a BCB6G anyway, this takes care of that!

-a couple 80s PSA120, one from 86, the other 89. One is stock, the other was chopped up, so I used the extra wire removed from the daisy chain to make it a proper PSA120 again.

The seller had more 80s pedals, including a GE7, DC2, DD3, PH2. Despite the condition, I passed as I already have these or have the DC2W.

Great ! The essential pedals for a BCB-6, deal !

My fav’ Phaser pedal.

I lent my OD-1 to my brother. He is in love, saying it's the best overdrive he's ever heard.

In my opinion, this OD-1 is very, very close to the sound of my MIJ SD-1, but with a mid frequency that stands out a bit. My brother has a Malaysian SD-1 and he says it is worlds apart from the OD-1, much brighter (in an unpleasing way) and less dynamic*.


*Before I got my hands on my first Japanese SD-1 two years ago, I only knew the Taiwanese models from the early 2000s, and I didn't like these too much. It was the same with the DS-1, of which I only knew units from the year 2000 onwards, and I didn't like them, either - until I received a Japanese unit!
For over two decades I spurned two of the best-selling pedals of all time, because I only got in touch with the modern versions that never sounded right to me.
