The Pedal That Started The Ruckus! Up for sale is a rare, vintage 1984 Boss DF-2 Super Distortion & Feedbacker, meticulously crafted in Japan. This is the highly sought-after, early "pre-lawsuit" version - featuring the original product name on the enclosure - before Boss changed the title to "Super Feedbacker & Distortion" to placate DiMarzio. The brief, initial run of pedals with the "Super Distortion" label is highly coveted. My dad sure knew how to pick, and how to pick 'em. This is a rare collector's item.
Provenance & History: This pedal comes directly from a private collection and was owned by a dedicated, working Central Texas musician who lovingly collected and cared for gear for over 50 years. It has been safely stored and is now being passed on to the next generation of musicians and collectors.
Manufacturing & Serial Number Verification:
- Serial Number: 187600
- Date of Manufacture: September 1984
- Nation of Origin: Japan
Condition & Aesthetics: This is an honest, vintage pedal. Instead of the sterile, generic stock photos common on the marketplace, these pictures were taken today (June 16, 2026) to show the exact item you will receive (except for the one image of the DF-2 hanging out with its coworkers inside my dad's 1963 Strat Tolex Guitar Case). It shows the road wear you'd expect with a vintage pedal of its age, which just makes it sexier. Please review the photos carefully to see the exact cosmetic condition.
Shipping & Store Policies:
