SD-1 SUPER Overdrive | Compact Overdrive Pedal | Genre-Defining Sound & Feel

I’ve been playing guitar for nearly 28 years. It’s always been a learning curve. I’ve always been a plug in and play kind of guy and a little ignorant when it comes to these things, but have been using certain pedals over the last couple of years. Cannot recommend this pedal enough. Works absolutely flawless with my Marshall DSL50 Head. With the level full, tone at about about 4.8 and drive on zero it helps a ridiculous amount in controlling the overall tone. The bass is tightened up and sounds less ‘flubby’, the overall sound is so much tighter and defined. If you play mid to high gain I couldn’t recommend this enough. I wish I had known about this pedal back in the day seeming as it’s been unchanged since around 1980/1981.

Perfect. Exactly what I was looking for. Comes with a 9v battery so useable out of the box. Didn’t buy an adapter, just using batteries for now and works great.

Excellent

industry standard, decent pedal

Gives a special pro sound I require.

This pedal is a stunner. I am running it as a mid boost after my blues driver. It is amazing. Loads of headroom, a surprising amount of gain (getting into distortion), a fully useable sounding tone knob and that famous Boss build quality. The looks are classic. This pedal will outlast your playing and probably humanity. Keep strumming people. If you are on the fence, just get one. You won't regret it.

Excellent Overdrive unit from Boss

This guy is the absolute centre-piece of my tone. When I fist plugged it in, I was somewhat underwhelmed. But, after a short time playing with the controls you realise this thing produces a warm pleasing edge to everything, whether used clean or as a boost to an already dirty signal. It also lifts the high mid frequencies in a somewhat magical way so everything you play sits on top of a band mix. That's more than worth the price of acquisition right there. Since purchasing this, I am using my distortion pedal (Boss DS-2) or amp distortion less and less. Play softly and it is a soft sound (but still with the mid boost). Hit the strings hard and this puppy GROWLS. It's so velocity-sensitive. Love it. Stupid cheap too. Get one.

とてもいいです

How can you not love Boss pedals? I’ve used them for over 30 Years with no troubles ever. They can be a bit more expensive but you get what you pay for! This pedal is simple and very easy to use. I own the original Blues pedal as well as the newer Japanese made Blues Driver. I also own a 1980s Ibanez TS 808 pedal. They are all very good. This stands out if you want a moderate tone on your blues solos that won’t overpower everything in the mix. And that’s when it set on full! It is a wonderful pedal at a great price and for blues players. You will easily recreate the Chicago Blues sound!

Excelente producto, calidad y sonido, muy bueno.

Un classico! Indistruttibile ed economico overdrive. Perfetto con amplificatori valvolari, a mio avviso da avere in pedaliera!

Goeie pedal mooie sound. Is dan ook een icoon van in de jaren 80
