Block the Noises~! (Episode 2)

The title may already give you a hint on what I've got today. Need more hints? It is a pedal.
Well, obviously, it is a noise gate. I got Beta Aivin NG-100 for my noise gate.

This is not new though. It was preowned by someone else for at least 2 years. However, the pedal seems to be underused since it is still in a perfect condition. Or the ex-owner takes real care for his stuffs. Well, either way, thumbs up for the good condition and for the price I paid for it. I got it at almost half of what it costs.

Striking resemblances (Episode 2)

Another series of striking resemblances. Take a look at these pedals.

Above is a noise gate. All look identical; the built, the knobs and even the model name of all 3 pieces is NG-100! Same goes for DS-100 and other pedals and even the 200 series, with slight changes in the design.

Actually, the reason for this striking resemblance is simple; they are the same. They are all from the same factory and all the parts are totally the same. What is different is the brand name that is badged on the pedals. Boston is the Beta Aivin of The Philippines. I am not sure about GLX though. And there are still many other names which I have not mention...
