It has the 14 pin NEC chip. These pedals are among the most coveted in the world. There is so much hype around so many pedals but the OD-1 is truly deserving. Whether it's the 8 pin or the 14 pin, there is a magic there. You can feel it. A truly awesome pedal. This one is in exceptional condition with only some minor marks, a bit on ink fade and one bottom screw missing. Tested and sounding really, really good.The earliest Boss OD-1 Overdrive pedals (1977–early 1979) are highly sought-after, featuring a 14-pin quad op-amp chip (typically the Raytheon RC3403AD or NEC uPC4741C) instead of the later 8-pin dual op-amps. These vintage units are renowned for a distinct, gritty asymmetrical clipping, higher collector value, and superior, complex tone compared to later versions.Key Features of the 14-Pin OD-1:Production Era: Generally late 1977 to early 1979, often with "silver screw".Chipset: Quad Op-Amp (14-pin) - usually RC3403AD or NEC uPC4741C.Sound Profile: Described as having a "spongy sweetness" with pronounced midrange and limited low-end, providing a more "edgey" overdrive than later Tube Screamers.Collectibility: These versions are considered the most desirable and can be worth significantly more—sometimes three times the price—than later 8-pin versions.Design: Used asymmetrical clipping for a unique crunch, often with the "long dash" logo on the face.
