This is a set of three classic Made in Japan BOSS pedals from the mid-1980s, often regarded as part of the Japan Vintage analog era.

The set includes OD-2 Turbo OverDrive, NF-1 Noise Gate, and CS-2 Compression Sustainer, all produced during the golden era of BOSS analog effects.

All three pedals have been carefully cleaned, inspected, and tested. Basic functionality has been confirmed on each unit using both a 9V battery and an ACA adapter.

Please note that, due to their age, minor noise or scratchiness typical of vintage pedals may occasionally be present.

All units show signs of use including scratches, paint wear, and cosmetic aging consistent with their age. Please refer to the photos.

■ NF-1 Noise Gate (1986)

Serial number: 623600
Estimated production: 1986 (June–August)
Weight: approx. 339g (without battery)

A late-period Japanese-made NF-1 featuring black label, black screws, and ACA specification.

The internal components, including ICs, transistors, and capacitors, are consistent with mid-1980s production.

The rubber bushings have been replaced with new parts.
Fully cleaned and tested – no issues in normal operation.

This unit represents a stable late-production model with matured circuit design and consistent component quality.

■ OD-2 Turbo OverDrive (1987)

Serial number: 672300
Estimated production: 1987 (February)
Weight: approx. 352g (without battery)

A mid-production Japanese-made OD-2 with black label and ACA specification.

The circuit features a fully discrete transistor-based design typical of the OD-2, with components consistent with the mid-1980s production period.

Fully cleaned and tested – basic operation confirmed.

This unit comes from a stable production phase of the OD-2, known for its reliable performance and characteristic overdrive tone.

■ CS-2 Compression Sustainer (1984)

Serial number: 407200
Estimated production: 1984 (June–August)
Weight: approx. 354g (without battery)

A mid-period Japanese-made CS-2 featuring the BA662 VCA chip, widely regarded as part of the golden era of BOSS compressors.

The rubber bushings have been replaced with new parts.
The internal potentiometer has been cleaned using contact cleaner and treated with protective solution.

Basic operation has been confirmed.

The CS-2 Compression Sustainer was produced from 1981 to 1986 and is regarded as one of BOSS’s classic Made in Japan analog compressors. It compresses stronger input signals while boosting lower-level signals, delivering smooth sustain with a natural response.
A slight noise may be heard when adjusting the SUSTAIN control near maximum. This behavior is characteristic of vintage analog compressor circuits and does not affect normal operation within typical settings.

Includes:

Pedals only (no original boxes or accessories)

Estimated production period: mid-1980s (1984–1987)

This is a highly collectible set of three iconic Made in Japan BOSS pedals from the analog era, often regarded as part of the Japan Vintage period, offering both historical value and practical usability.
