BOSS CE-2 QUESTION

[sdresdre]

is there a diff between the black and green label ce-2? they are both made in japan.

[Keith SIO]

doubt it.

[melx]

they were made at different times. I believe the black one is the earliest, but no I would think they were the same inside.

Funnily I've seen 'made in japan' baseplates go for good prices on ebay:eek:

Yes. The MIJ version with the green label goes for less money. That's about it.

Seriousely, I've been through this a few times and have owned just about every variation of the ce-2. The black label and green label sound identical to eachother. The green label version that's made in taiwan sounds only slightly different, but not enough to pay twice as much for a made in japan version. Any of the CE-2's sound amazing.

I think some of the green label Japanese (and Taiwanese) ones used a 3207 chip, while the earlier black label ones used the 3007.

Analogman has a write up on his site about this. That's where I got the info from, anyway.
