Re: Rare boss pedals...
It's got slightly different frequency curves and the later generation BBE stuff probably does sound better so if the 2 were placed in front of me now I'd choose the BBE but this little pedal does an excellent "BBE" job on the sound as well. The site is right, you don't really notice how much it puts back into your tone until you turn it off!
And I'd like to snag one of those RV3's as well. When i worked at GC we had people coming in all the time asking for them. Its a shame boss stopped making them. One guy actually got real mad at the news and went into this huge screaming fit about how the Evil Boss Corporation discontinued the RV3 so they could squeeze more money out of people with separate Reverb and Delay pedals... he's got a point :laugh2:
oh yea out of pure coincidence i managed to snag an OD-3 for 50 bux today! :banana:

Re: Rare boss pedals...
I sold mine on Ebay, and I can't believe people like this thing. The delays and reverb had this metallic-ness you couldn't dial out.
The Line6 Delay sounds so much better, and the reverb on most amps would sound better than this thing. Ug.

The Boss VF-1 half-rack unit has one inside, so does my Roland GP-100...also, the PODs have them too. For the $ a single slow gear pedal is, just get a Boss VF-1 and enjoy the Dimension C/D and a host of other effects, all with amazing midi control over them.

:laugh2: poor fella...
the RV-1 i think is a totally whacked out one - no 9v option, it *came with* a power supply, and is the only boss single pedal to not have the standard box... all for a delay pedal :laugh2:
just get a reverb tank, i would..

The Boss SD-2 is one of the great Boss Overdrive Pedals that can be found on ebay from time to time.

Re: Rare boss pedals...
I've owned both the DC-2 and 3, the 2 i sold to a trusted friend, might have to get that back, the 3 I still have...The 2 is an analogue biphase chorus, the 3 is digital biphase chorus, they are kinda like having two choruses synched to each other with different rates and polarities (depth adjusted accordingly), very spacious, the 2 was ideal for electric classical work, the the 3 is much more flexible, however the 2 does have a certain tone that is great. Used in stereo they are great sounding additions to any line.They still don't take the place of a regular chorus though, as the effect is a bit different.
