Value For Money :
Poor
Analog Overdrive pedal. Boss standard format, an inlet, an outlet.
Knob to "level": the general level of effect, its volume in its clear, its rate of mixing the sound with distortion.
"Tone": general tone: more or less acute, according to race the knob!
"Drive": general saturation, the gain in sum.
Powered by 9v battery or standard Boss type power supply industry standard.
(My opinion is based on known current model, made in Taiwan. I am a big fan of Boss Japan (pre-1989) but I have not been able to compare the two models SD-1!)
UTILIZATION
Simple arch-general configuration, as often with Boss. Indestructible box, Boss makes reliable products to possible.
I have not needed the manual, useless: you turn the knobs and you learn!
The sound editing is very simple, instinctive.
SOUND QUALITY
Ok, this pedal bass food. Ok, mediums are not the most sparkling of the market. Ok, the highs are sometimes a bit too sharp and aggressive. And yes, the pedal is not super accurate.
But we must see
1) that for some users (metalheads) the quality of the crunch does not really matter, and then adds the gain pedal that gives pleasure to the other passages or solos and harmonics must fuser. For others (reggaemans, Pop rockers), the crunch will be good enough quality to smear a bit of a rhythm or flow to give a solo.
2) how much you pay this pedal: little in nine, really not much in opportunity. A Fulltone Ocd it's great, but it is expensive for many people, and unnecessary for others.
Once all of that said, this Sd-1 remains a good pedal, including the face of other more expensive Drives and prestigious.
It is also much more attractive on a sound basic Tube Screamer clear that if you play more Rock than Blues.
OVERALL OPINION
A friend lends me right now. My DS-1 and Od-1 Japan are fine for me, but I was curious, having seen the scratch sound very well with that little yellow box.
The value for money is certainly no joke in the top 10 guitar gear market.
If I wanted to pay my first overdrive, barreling I buy it.
