Popis
Overdrive Perfection
The SD-1 allows players from beginner to pro to get inspiring sounds right away, thanks to its natural behavior and the subtle mid boost that's part of its design. It gives your tone a push where it matters most, ensuring your guitar always sits perfectly in the mix with warmth, clarity, and rich presence. Lower drive settings are great for rhythm parts, while higher settings are ideal for fat, singing leads. The SD-1 is also very sensitive to input gain, letting you dial in different shades of overdrive simply by adjusting your guitar's volume control.
The One Pedal Every Player Needs
With its organic character and responsive drive and tone controls, the SD-1 delivers the right sound for just about any style of music. Kick on the pedal with your favorite clean or slightly driven amp for mild-to-moderate overdrive that’s ideal for everything from classic rock and gritty blues to pop, country, jazz, and beyond. The SD-1 also shines as a booster for high-gain amps and other drive pedals, providing mid focus, tight bass, and smooth top end that's perfectly suited for heavier sounds and solo playing.
Seit seinem Erscheinen im Jahr 1981 ist das Arbeitspferd SD-1 Super Overdrive das zentrale Gain-Pedal für Generationen von Spielern in allen Musikrichtungen. Das SD-1 Super Overdrive basiert auf dem revolutionären asymmetrischen Clipping-Schaltkreis des OD-1 Overdrive - eines der drei originalen BOSS Kompaktpedale von 1977 - und liefert satte, weiche und hochmusikalische Overdrive-Sounds, die Gitarristen auf der ganzen Welt inspirieren.
1977 schuf BOSS mit dem OD-1 eine völlig neue Stompbox-Kategorie, die Gitarristen zum ersten Mal einen natürlichen Overdrive in Form eines Pedals zur Verfügung stellte. Der einzigartige asymmetrische Clipping-Schaltkreis erzeugte ein Signal, das reich an geradzahligen Obertönen war und den angenehmen Klang und das Spielgefühl eines Röhrenverstärkers reproduzierte - und das bei kontrollierbarer Lautstärke. Vier Jahre später wurde dieses bahnbrechende Design zum vielseitigeren SD-1 weiterentwickelt, der eine aktive Klangregelung für die Gestaltung der Höhen und subtile Verbesserungen für mehr Körper im unteren Bereich hinzufügte.

A classic, you have no worries getting this one
I have a Keeley modded Boss SD-1 where the capacitors and resistors have been changed out to metal film. They also changed out the chip and stacked a TI4558P, which gives it more overdrive/saturation than the stock SD-1. So when I bought this standard off the shelf Boss SD-1 as a backup, it was a bit of a let down to be honest. It feels like I have to play with a more aggressive attack than I usually play with, to get it to respond like it should. It seems anemic, weak. I also have a Seymour Duncan 805 overdrive that's very similar to this pedal, but costs over twice as much as the Boss SD-1. The 805 has bass, mid and treble frequency controls. And without any changes to EQ, this pedal sounds and feels spot on. It has about the same amount of overdrive as the stock SD-1, but it is about twice as good. The 805 is the best stock overdrive pedal I've ever played through.
I've always been a fan of the SD-1's sound, especially in comparison to a stock Tube Screamer 808 or TS-9. The Tube Screamers really aren't that good, in my opinion. They add so much coloration to the sound of the guitar, but in so doing, they benefit two types of situations - 1. An amp like a JCM800 or a Plexi already pushed into overdrive - the TS-9 tightens the bass response (kind of decreasing bass) and gives the sound a forward push in a mix, a more aggressive immediate sound, with the mid bump. It adds a little compression as well. 2. Lead work or melodies on a strat, or to fatten up a strat sound - the single coils on a strat benefit from the mid push of the TS-9. That's why people like the Tube Screamer. But if you want any clarity underneath your overdrive, this is not the pedal. A Fulltone OCD or this Boss SD-1, the Boss SD-1 Wazi or the 805, are the kind of pedals that will keep your guitar sound intact. The Tube Screamer will muddy it up.
Overall, The Boss SD-1 is my go to overdrive, but with the Keeley mod. I would recommend the Boss SD-1 Wazicraft instead of the stock SD-1 if you're really serious about tone. The SD-1 is a hallmark of what an overdrive should be, but the examples I've given you (Seymour Duncan 805, Keeley mod SD-1 and Boss Wazi SD-1) push that sound to much more desirable places. If you're playing a Katana, on that level, this stock Boss SD-1 pedal will be awesome.
