That is really a good question !!!! I should say if you collect go Japan if you wanna do gigs go Taiwan or better than that buy "The Boss Book" on Amazon you'll find some good infos and weird things...

Ex.: Did you know the Over Drive OD-1 who was sold as "Made In Japan" the board inside was in fact "Made In Tawain" but sold in Japan ??? (page 57)

I know I probably didn't help you but if you don't have a lot of money don't look at buyers with the mention "Made In Japan Black Label".

By the way, the CH-1 has never been made in Japan....
