Re: Got this old thing in for a checkup...
I don't remember the year, but I have a MIJ CS-3 that sounds amazing. I really wish they'd changed the model number with the VCA change in the early 90s; the older MIJ version is a totally different pedal. I suppose the upside is that you can still find the MIJ version for cheap because of the new one's rather lackluster reputation.
Edit: Now that I think of it, the same is also true of MIJ DD-3s. People have caught on to DD-2s and they're not the bargain they used to be. I can still find MIJ DD-3s for < $100 and it's the same pedal. :bigthumb:
