MGR/pooze « Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive »
Published on 08/01/01 at 15:00Picked it up at the local music store for about $80 because it sounded great.
It's a boss pedal, so naturally you have very rigid construction. I've used this pedal for about a year without any problems whatsoever -- still looks like it's brand new. It also sounds great -- you can produce anything from vintage 80's rock distortion to a chunkier bluesy sound. Sounds really great on a tube amp with the tone down and the drive mid way.
Nothing negative can be said about this pedal.
As mentioned above, extremely well built and designed to last a long long time.
I would definately go and pick one of these up before I bought a 'blues driver' or 'tubescreamer' just because of the price. You should usually be able to pick these up from anywhere between $50-60, I overpaid a bit, but it was well worth it. It basically produces the same sound as its boss counterparts, but is much cheaper.
