  • These two overdrive pedals are incredibly underrated. They are just as good as any "boutique" super-expensive-and-hyped pedal, and even better.
    This is just a play-along demo, going back and forth between the two pedals. I used my SVL 61 Reserve which has Klein 1962 Epic Series Pickups, through my Two Rock Classic Reverb Signature. I recorded it with the Universal Audio OX. The Reverb and Delay are from the OX.

    Fantastic demo. Perfect exhibition. For me, sd1 for solo but od3 is excelent for ritmic parts.

    Od3 is more apparent, and I like what it adds. I will buy one, I can't wait to see how it compares to the Greer Southland harmonic medium gain od.

    both sound good, the sd1 is more compressed, the od3 is more amp like, I do prefer the OD3 in my rig, but the SD1 is unbeatable performance/price

    I like the OD-3 more because it sounds fuller and with more head room to me IMHO of course.

      It's an awesome pedal! Are you liking it? I find it to be like a Nobels ODR-1/ Wampler Belle but with more gain!

  • @lidbass
    @lidbass Год назад +5

    At first I liked the sound of the SD-1. It seemed to cut through the mix much better. But my ears quickly got tired, and the OD-3 began to sound fuller and more pleasant.
    Mind you, given the fact that as I write, where I live a second-hand SD-1 is almost half the price of an OD-3, I don’t think you could go wrong with either of them…

  • @shader26
    @shader26 2 года назад +2

    On my little iPad speaker it’s odd, I expected the OD-3 to be a little more bassy, but the SD-1 seemed to have that nice tight low end and less harsh. Of course, and iPad is no way to listen with accuracy so… both sound great, great playing!

    • @michealclark3495
      @michealclark3495 Год назад +2

      I use both of these currently and tbh you’re actually not wrong. The od3 does a bit more low thump and top sizzle, whereas the sd1 is a slightly smoother mid forward thing. But not nearly as smooth as a tubescreamer. They’re honestly both good and work great in the same contexts. Just give you something slightly different!

    proper shootout. SD-1 much less bass, little more 800-1khz, rolled highs, much less output and little compression. OD-3 Has the Satriani sound, much more lows, still far less than straight plugging into a tube amp, much much output, highpass on 2-8 khz and compression

      It really depends on how you play. To me, the OD3 is amazing on clean amps. The SD1 shines on a crunchy amp.
