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".[/quote]
that really doesn't tell me what the difference are though. so, japan is for those who are collecting rare pedals, while taiwan is the more cost-efficient version that is the exact same thing, but is worth less (not worthless, but worth less)

[QUOTE=mono_sound]By the way, the CH-1 has never been made in Japan....

yeah, it was the DD-3 that I was seeing "made in japan" on. I didn't see it on the CH-1.
