Ha, yeah well...early Boss pedals just have a kickass vibe to them...if I could get my hands on an original silver screw Raytheon chip OD-1 I'd be a happy camper! Unfortunately those things are way expensive these days. Seiche is right though, Boss pedals don't really bring teh mojo cred, do they? ;) Unless they're beat to shit/relic'd...hmmm, that's a business opportunity for the corksniffer crowd waiting to happen - "Roadworn" Boss pedals. And for teh Indie crowd, just tape over the logo, or write something deep on it in Sharpie. Apologies for the thread derail...

So then, you recommend buying Boss? :D

Well on a personal level he seems like a cool dude, I have chatted with him on multiple occasions and he is always willing to help me figure out some kind of mod. True he just pumps out clones and the sniffers drool over them, but good for him, you owuld love to have that kind of reputation too. Or no? :scratch: I would

But were he really shines is the awesome, wacked out, and ballsy mods he does. He has done some really cool stuff, only dude I have ever seen get a external tap tempo mod on an echo park. Hes not scared to jump right in an mod something thats never been modded before and I am happy for all the success he is having. I also hope any of you who may try to build a pedal business will be successful too.


Can we be happy for someone a little around here? I mean he doesn't even try to pass off the pearl as his own design or anything so............................. :whappen:

Here is a fun pick of a mod he a while ago, dont ask me what it does, I forget something about a preset etc or something.
