1977
Boss have chosen to make it in black and given it gold lettering, gold knobs and a vintage style silver thumbscrew (modern Boss pedals use a black plastic one). The Boss website states they will be launching more ‘anniversary’ releases in 2017, as it’s been 40 years for a few of their products, so expect more of the same.
The DS-4A comes in a special box with the Boss 40th anniversary logo, just so you don’t forget it is celebrating something…
Probably a good idea to buy a few and put them on Ebay next year and double your Money – or maybe not!I have never been a fan of modern DS-1 pedals, but I bet a lot of people will buy them to flip them for a profit once Boss stops making them.
RRP $59
