Are Vintage Boss Stomps that are made in Japan collectibles and therefore would cost more nowadays?
I have a BCB-6 set from the 80's Master Switch pedal (red), EQ, DD3,OCTAVE, FLANGER, SOLD THE HEAVY METAL FOR 500--replaced it with a taiwan Metal zone..hahaha (90's kid eh), All Cables and BCB6 box included...all are in pretty good shape slight paint chips
.should I keep it as a collectible or just sell it off? Im planning a great big guitar and gear purge..and I want to know what items are worth keeping..Thanks in Advanced..
- master switch (psm-5) - not really in demand now. others consider it as a waste of space.
- eq - rare eq's would be a sp-1, pq-4 or a ge-6. if you have a ge-7. its still in production. added value if its the older version.
- octave - rare one would be an oc-2 with the name "octaver". common oc-2 only has "octave".
- flanger - the hf-2 & bf-2 (with black knobs) are older flangers but not that rare. common are bf-2's with white face knobs and bf-3 .
- heavy metal (hm-2) - although an old pedal, not really in demand. you would be lucky to sell it for 2k in the 2nd hand market.
- bcb6 (gray board) is more common compared to a black bcb6 called the "bcb6g".
- forgot the DD3. the japan made dd3 is probably the best boss compact digital delay pedal. not too simple, not too complicated.
compared it to taiwan made dd3's, there's something in it that i prefer but cant pinpoint.
