Sibob Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Hi guys, Have my eye on something, so thought I'd move this on. Rare, May 1979 (as decoded by the Boss Area serial number machine) Slow Gear SG-1. Volume swells on the fly without a volume pedal. This is the rarer silver screw edition, it features quirky circuitry whereby the effect is latching, but the LED on the pedal is momentary. WHY?? you ask, who knows, those crazy Japanese pedal designers. This is corroborated by notes in the schematic: [url="http://schematics.circuitdiagram.net/viewer.php?id=bwy1291369545z.jpg"]http://schematics.ci...1291369545z.jpg[/url] The later version of the pedal changed this, and you could mod the LED on this to be latching.....but I've kept it original. [b]SOLD[/b] Cheers Si
EskimoBassist Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Wow in this condition as well, incredible. You could start a right bidding war with this on ebay if you were prepared to ship worldwide!
Sibob Posted May 13, 2012 Author Posted May 13, 2012 Hey, thanks Yeah it's in fantastic condition considering it's age. I should think it will go on ebay, but thought I'd offer it here first Cheers Si
Truckstop Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Very cool, make sure you let us know how much it goes for! Would someone mind telling me the difference between 'latching' and 'momentary' aswell as providing a couple of examples so I can go and have a look on YouTube or something please? Cheers! Alex

Alex [/quote] Alex, Quite simply... Latching is one press to turn on and one to turn off - like pretty much every pedal you own. Non-latching or momentary is only on while you hold the switch down.

Sibob Posted May 16, 2012 Author Posted May 16, 2012 Precisely, thanks Shep. It was purposely built like that, not a fault/mod, but was quickly changed in later versions for obvious reasons I guess. As mention, this could be modded so the LED is latching too, but I've kept it original. Cheers Si
