Precise control; ultra-rich harmonics!

The Boss SUPER OverDrive SD-1 gives you the warm, smooth distortion of an overdriven tube amp without blurring the nuances of your picking technique. The unique symmetric drive circuit delivers a more rich, authentic-sounding overdrive effect. Here's an overdrive pedal that has Level, Drive, and Tone controls that make it easy to go from mild to hard, or even use the SD-1 as a signal booster.

Features

  • Warm, smooth distortion
  • Unique symmetrical gain circuit
  • Level, Tone, and Gain controls

Nice for boost.

Features:

With a basic Volume, Gain and Tone it doesn't get much easier to use.

Quality:

It's your basic Boss pedal. Metal case, solid and can take about anything you can throw at it.

Value:
Overall:

I use this pedal as a boost putting it behind my distortion. It really give me a nice boost and smooth sound for solos. But using stand alone can give a really nice light distortion for just about anything you need.

Boss SD-1

| Review By: Robert-BY49q | 3 months, 3 weeks ago

1 people out of 4 found this review helpful

Features:

An OK pedal with a few usable sounds.

Quality:

Typical Boss quality, well built and durable.

Value:

With alot of tweaking (both pedal and amp) you will find an adequate overdrive tone that would be usable in a live setting, if you can tolerate the noise it puts in your signal chain.

Overall:

This pedal is usable, but you'll need good cables, and a really good noise gate with a high threshold in your signal chain. This pedal makes a lot of noise (hiss) once you kick it in. It has a reasonable overdrive tone that would work in a live stage setting. I think there are a lot of other overdrive pedals that would do a much better job and not saturate your signal with noise.

This pedal is the most underrated piece of gear out there.

Features:

I have been playing for 16 years and in a band the last couple years, and tried out a lot of pedals along the way. I recently picked up one of these and really have been happy with it. I built some of my own tube amps and slightly mod some of my pedals but this one I like the way it is.

Gives you a thicker gain structure when the amp is somewhat overdriven and lights up the front end on a tube amp real nice. It really get the tubes singing to the point pinch harmonics are great for an overdrive.

 

I like to use it in a lot of ways, also turn the gain down and the output up to make a clean tube amp get raw and bluesy. It goes well with all of my tube amps and I have a variety.

 

This is one of the best OD pedals I have tried and I think a lot of people overlook it as I had in the past becasue no one expects a pedal in this price range to work so well. It does.

Quality:

It is boss so I expect it to last.

Value:

I got mine used in great condition so the value was good but a new one is a great value as well.

Overall:

It's great like it is. Only thing is I wish boss would start using brighter leds.It's hard to see outside if it is on or off and I will be installing a brighter one soon.

Overall:

First noticed this pedal on a famous guitarists board eighteen years ago. When I bought it, and the price was more expensive then, I hooked it to my Marshall jcm 800 2x12. Needless to say, the amp already had the beefiness i wanted, but went I stomped on this overdrive it pushed the signal precisely to get a harmonically rich, sizzle drive which made any thought of modifying out of the question. The quality of this combination, to this day, places other new heads and pedals down a notch. After several years I have yet to find a driver/booster that even compares in tone and price. I still have both and they go together like salt and pepper.
