BOSS Pedals
What are the differences between the older Boss effects and the newer ones. The Slow Gear for example?
The thumbscrew is metal on the oldest ones, from the late 1970s. Also, the LED does not stay on when the effect is on, it just blinks when you press the on/off switch. The knobs on the oldest Boss effects have a set screw. Some effects like the OD-1 have a completely different circuit, 1970s vs 1980s, some like the SG-1 only have the switch circuit modified.
Newer Boss effects are made in Taiwan, and some are quite similar while others have pretty substantial changes in the circuits.
Are Japanese Boss pedals better than Taiwanese Boss pedals?
You will often hear that the new Boss pedals are exactly the same as the older Japanese versions.
SOME Taiwan pedals are the same as SOME Japanese pedals.
But it is obvious if you look at, for example an old 1979 Japanese DS-1, and a new one from Taiwan, the chips are totally different. They don't even have the same number of pins. So obviously they will sound different because they are different. But not all Boss effects are like that, people who say they are the same may have tested a later Japanese DS-1 that has the same circuit as the new Taiwan models.
You can't even say that all Japanese boss pedals are the same, there are always running changes. For example, the DM-2 delay used two different types of BBD chips so two DM-2 pedals (all made in Japan) will sound different because they are different circuits.
par curiosité j'ouvrirais la nouelle voir si ca a la meme gueule a l'interieur
