If you’re reading this, you already know exactly what you’re looking at: the real deal.
This isn't yesterday's reissue—this is the original Made in Japan version (Serial #CA10979 for all you serial-number-obsessed tone nerds who can't sleep at night).
This is the EXACT iconic tone used by John Frusciante on Red Hot Chili Peppers' Blood Sugar Sex Magik. It’s also the legendary distortion relied upon by Kurt Cobain during the In Utero era.
Why you need it:
- Turbo I Mode: Classic Boss distortion—warm, rich, and sharp.
- Turbo II Mode: That massive mid-boost that pushes your solos straight over a drummer who hits way too hard.
- Made in Japan Build: Genuine vintage components that sound infinitely better than modern mass-produced gear. Plus, let’s be honest, it adds an instant +50 charisma points to your pedalboard.
Condition:
- Functional: 100% operational, functions just like day one. Runs on a standard 9V battery or power supply with no issues.
- Cosmetic: Rated in Good condition on Reverb—it shows normal, honest signs of player wear for its age (light scuffs/scratches), but looks fantastic overall for a vintage Japanese pedal (check out the high-res photos!).
