Up for sale is an exceptionally rare, pristine piece of 90s Boss history: a 100% factory-original Boss DD-3 Digital Delay Metallic Silver Limited Edition, Made in Japan (MIJ) in March 1995. Unlike standard utility blue-gray Boss pedals, this limited production run features a striking Silver Pearl finish, vibrant blue housing graphics, and the original blue-capped knobs.

The Hardware & Blue-Label Pedigree

This pedal is a fascinating, highly collectible crossover piece. It features the coveted wide, rectangular DC power jack cutout characteristic of earlier chassis runs, but features its original, flawless Blue PSA Label on the bottom plate.

The internal battery compartment retains its original serial number sticker (525400), dating it precisely to March 1995. While standard Boss utility production had moved to Taiwan by this era, this special limited aesthetic run featuring the Long Chip Enclosure was produced in Japan, making it highly prized by collectors.

This is a true investment-grade addition for a serious Boss collector or a standout centerpiece tone-machine for a premium pedalboard.

Condition:

  • Aesthetics: This unit is in damn-near pristine cosmetic condition. The silver pearl finish is nearly immaculate, as are the Made in Japan blue label and battery compartment.
  • Function: Evaluated over three days by Austin Vintage Guitars with player testing and bench testing. Each piece was considered authentic and functional enough to receive a purchase offer.

Provenance & History: This pedal comes directly from my late father's private collection. He was a dedicated, working Central Texas musician - a true road warrior - who lovingly collected and cared for gear for over 50 years. It has been safely stored and is now ready to find its way onto a new board to create more music.
