BOSS SD-1 SUPER OverDrive Effects Pedal for Guitar and Bass
Love both pedals but the SD-1 is very special. I also have an OD-1 but put it in the cupboard for the SD-1 because of the tone know. They sound the slightest bit different but this wouldn’t be audible, maybe because there was 30 years age difference between the two. The SD-1 is perfect for beginner guitarists looking for their first pedal, intermediate guitar players wanting to push their playing further and advanced players who wanted legendary tone. BOSS’s colourful stomp boxes are the most recognisable pedal range in existence. For over 40 years, guitarists from bedrooms to stadiums have put their boot down on a BOSS effect to transform their sound. Several models have passed into guitar legend and early examples can fetch extremely high prices. Happily, BOSS have maintained their stellar reputation for world-class effects in bomb-proof casing with their current range and have fended off the imitators for decades to remain the pre-eminent single pedal effects manufacturer in the business. If there’s an effect for guitar (or bass, vocals, keys…be creative!) then you can bet BOSS have a pedal of it in their range or even invented it outright! Every guitar player should get to experience the joy of selecting a pedal from BOSS’s exhaustive roster, plugging it in and unleashing their wildest sonic dreams.There's another SoundTank clone by a company called POS, which I think stands for Piece of Shame. Either that or Penguins on Sabbatical. Or maybe Periodically Observant Soothsayers. Honestly, I could do this all day, but we have to finish the article at some point.
Boss SD-1 Overdrive – Thomann UK
Since the beginning, the engineers at BOSS have been committed to achieving the finest guitar tones
Since its release in 1981, the workhorse SD-1 Super Overdrive has been the core gain pedal for generations of players across every musical genre. Based around the revolutionary asymmetrical clipping circuit from the OD-1 Overdrive—one of the three original BOSS compact pedals from 1977—the SD-1 delivers rich, smooth, and highly musical overdrive tones that continue to inspire guitarists everywhere. Straight 1/4-inch connectors, 20 ft./6 m. Also available in 5 ft./1.5 m length (BIC-5), 10 ft./3 m length (BIC-10) ,15 ft./4.5 m (BIC-15). But what does “gamma” mean? I don’t know. Probably a reference to the power source that brought this abomination to our universe.
Boss SD-1 Super OverDrive Pedal - GAK
A distortion pedal can be a guitarist's most defining tool. Learn to pair it with other effects and expand your sonic approach. Read more… Getting the Most Out of Your Overdrive Pedal No, that’s not a typo. This second pedal shares the exact same name as the PSK clone of the BOSS SD-1, and actually pulls off the clone deal a little better. The enclosure is the same color as the original BOSS unit -- gold -- but it was made in Korea, not Japan. Honestly, I’d say this was a solid 9.5 on the shameless clone-o-meter, if it weren’t for one thing: I don't know what company made this. There's no name on the pedal. No owner’s manual. Nothing. So, maybe they were slightly ashamed that they cloned a BOSS pedal? I really don’t know.

These are so cheap, and the impact they have, I believe now everyone should have one! An overdrive can save an amp that sounds too dull or doesn't have enough bite. Set drive to 0 and level to max, and it pushes your amp into a nice and tight, cutting saturated tone. The classic overdrive was launched in ’81 and soon found its way onto the pedalboards of millions of players – including legions of pros Buy with confidence: We're the only UK guitar retailer to offer a 3-year warranty & extended Christmas exchange as standard.
