Need info on Boss DS-1 please

[mitchmarshall]

I own a Boss DS-1 that has a black label on the bottom that says Products of Roland Made in Japan.It has a silver screw to access the battery and a black switch I guess you could call it that moves up and down with the pedal.There is a number 9300 in black in the battery compartment.Is this some kind of rare model?I have no idea.Thanks for any help.

By the way it also has a small screw on the side of each of the 3 knobs if that helps.Thanks

Black label/MIJ are usually worth a bit more than MIT, and the silver screw bumps up the value even more. I believe this means it was a very early model, particularly of interest to a collector, or player who believes it sounds better than recent issues.
