1982 Boss Pedal

[GassyMan69]

First time poster, long time lurker.

bought a Boss GE7 off Reverb last week with the plan to get cheapest one to then send to Analogman to have modded.

The picture was just front, but when I got it, it won for dirtiest pedal I ever got from Reverb. 45 min later from cleaning, I decided to check the serial - Made in Japan Jan 1982.

was around before the Berlin Wall was taken down and John Belluci was still alive. Michael Jacksons Thriller was released.

This pedal is older than my wife!

Should I be excited or return it??

This is a high quality first post. Keep.

Most of my gear is older than my gf. Keep it.

 

[SubApathy]

Keep it.

 

[fjblair]

It's a very good pedal. Keep.

Is it a ge6 or 7?

 

[Hawkmoon269]

Sell it to me.

Why return it? Doesn't it work? Isn't it clean now? My wah is older than me, is in worse shape, but sounds great, so it's not going anywhere.

I would keep and I probably wouldn't have it modded. Some people find the Made In Japan Boss pedals to be desirable.

I use a Carter Administration model.
You’ve got a Reagan. It’s bulletproof.

some of the old "vintage" Boss pedals demands higher price today as some of them sounds different/better than its modern gen predecessors.

My advise to you is to divorce your wife and marry the pedal instead.

Keep it, don’t mod it. Put it in your “oldest pedal” collection. Do record with it, but never take it to a show.

(mini rant)

Side note, I never understand why people don’t clean pedals before they sell them. It’s just gross some of the things people sell with crud and pet hair all over them.

Oh, and when they don’t show the bottom they are either lazy or hiding something.

1982 blows 2020 out of the water. Don't mod it, play it!

And that is the mark of a cool guitar player. When his guitar is older than his girlfriend.
