Product Information

The BOSS SD1 Super OverDrive pedal creates the warm, natural distortion of an overdriven tube amplifier while maintaining the subtle nuances of a player's picking technique. This Extended Guarantee is in addition to the standard Rimmers Music and manufacturer guarantee policies, and the Rimmers Music terms and conditions of sale.

The end result is similar to the overdrive produced by a tube amp’s push/pull circuit as no two tubes are really ever matched 100 percent.SD-1 ON [Tone: Noon; Dist: Noon; Level: Full]*A neatly saturated and elegantly attenuated signal is on display here.

Place the SD-1 at either the beginning of your pedalboard’s signal chain or directly into your amps input to push the envelope of your frontend tone.

Looking inside, we can see that the old circuit, which used to cover most of the pedal’s footprint, has been shrunk down to just the section beneath the control knobs. The SD-1 has been such an important pedal for guitar players that Boss has released a few variations of this timeless classic. Lee, Kirk Hammett during Metallica’s Kill ’Em All days, Steve Vai, Jason Becker, Warren DeMartini, Reb Beach, Richie Sambora and even Prince.

Did you ever find yourself thinking, 'If only they'd used a boutique overdrive, I could take it more seriously? The SD-1 is known for its extremely transparent sound, which perfectly maintains your guitar’s natural tone and its positive interaction with your amp. It is a slightly faster op-amp, used in several very good sounding circuits, so there’s nothing wrong with using it in place of the 4588DD.Whether you're seeking crisp echoes, tape saturation, or subtle analog delays for a slapback effect, here are genre tips for every style. If you want to use the pedal as an independent overdrive in a clean amp, it is great for getting crunchy rhythm tones and even medium-high gain lead tones when the level and gain are fully cranked. This is easily the most unique overdrive pedal on the market right now thanks to one clever feature- asymmetric clipping. You can then use the gain knob to subtly add a little more “break-up” and sustain - this is a hidden secret of the SD-1! Well, for one thing it means that the fundamental character of the SD-1’s sound is slightly different than that of a typical overdrive pedal.
