Made in Japan Vintage Underdog

These Japanese KMD pedals seem to be a mystery. Made by Maxon but with Roland (Boss circuit boards?) Modified clones of CE-3s? I haven't taken mine apart to see what is going on inside, but wow. This pedal sounds weird. My personal pedal, I discovered on Ebay, is in very good condition for it's age, I bought it because it was cheap and made in Japan. Then did research and was amazed at what I discovered. Or amazed at how little I discovered. Just a few people going on about how great they are. And this pedal is great. By itself it's okay but when paired with other effects it becomes something else. It has this subtleness, like a secret weapon. It really shines and makes my late night ebay purchase seem magical. Knowing I have this rare vintage MIJ pedal that is also cheap. It's not something I'd use alone, so I revising my rating to 3 stars but it does a really cool job of coloring the sound.
