Re: Boss & Roland serial number decoder by Fatbenelton » Tue Nov 15, 2011 6:36 pm Cheers - my Jupiter 4 was made in July 1981 making it one of the later ones. Meet the new BOSS effects flagship, the BOSS GT-100. The GT-100 Amp/Effects Processor boasts next-generation amp modeling that re-creates vintage amps and provides new COSM tones that soar into the future with the dynamics, tone and feel you'd expect from a boutique unit.
Offered for sale;
Used Boss RC 20XL Loop Station serial number KY69778.
This effects pedal is in very good condition, fully functional showing average playing time.
“Whether for use onstage or at home, the new RC-20XL allows musicians to create multi-layered performances in real time. Loops and riffs can be stacked repeatedly until the 16 minutes (!) of ample recording space is full.
Never before has it been so easy to create a massive “one-person band” sound in real time.

The RC-20XL picks up where the popular RC-20 leaves off, as it offers more recording time and more features, but at the same affordable price as its predecessor. The RC-20XL inherits the same “hands-free” pedal operation from the RC-20: Record, Play, and Overdub can be done with the left pedal — all the while your hands are free to play your instruments. But now you get approximately 16 minutes of recording time to capture and store loops or one-shot phrases (three times that of the RC-20), and you can work your way backward thanks to the new Undo function, a necessity when making mistakes during overdub.
The RC-20XL has 11 memory tracks, in which you have the choice of storing either one-shot phrases or loop phrases. During your performance, you can switch between the tracks with an optional FS-6 Dual Footswitch, or two FS-5U footswitches (momentary-type). The Undo function can be a useful and musical function for erasing your previous phrase and instantly layering a new one. After you have dazzled your crowd, now its time to bring it to an end. The RC-20XL offers three stop options for this purpose. When you hit the pedal, you can either immediately stop the playback, let the phrase play until the end, or fade it out.”
Super long recording time: up to 16 minutes!
Save up to 11 loops at a time
Undo function makes it easy to create perfect loops
Built-in auto quantize for simple and accurate loop timing
Change loop tempo without changing pitch
Footswitchable loop select (with optional FS-5U/FS-6) not included.

So I just recently purchased an SD-1 for $20. Curious about the build and age, I did some google searches and (using the BOSS website serial decoder) [The serial btw is 023000]. discovered it was manufactured early 1981 (same style sticker and all). My pedal itself indicates it was built in Taiwan.

However, I keep reading that SD-1s were made in Japan (MIJ) up until 1989 when they moved production to Taiwan, and all after were made in Taiwain (MIT).
Does anyone have any insight as to how I own a Taiwanese SD-1 made in 1981?
