my favorite od pedal for 36 years now.
I was gonna get an od pedal for my birthday but I needed a pretty cheap, but good one. I guess I chose the right one 😊. I’m doing a bit of late research
So many stupid comments in here. Let me simplify it for you. This pedal has more drive then a tube screamer. So you can put it into a clean amp to play Blues. A slightly dirty amp to play Rock. Or turn the gain all the way up on your amp, and use it to play metal. You can also use it as a clean boost. Its a vary versatile pedal. That sounds better than a tube screamer.
when i tried em out tube screamer sounded better to me personally, but honestly the difference was very minimal. sd1 had more drive, a bit more clarity, and added a bit more noise. very minimally different flavour, but way cheaper lol.
Hahaha, metal?? You're crazy man
electric ritual thanks for your input. I'm an intermediate player who somehow acquired an sd-1 super overdrive pedal and am currently playing with some mid 50 year old headbangers and need something to meet the needs of the heavy metal covers we play. I can't wait for our Tuesday jam night..
Just what I needed to know!!! Thanks
@@glenx4892 How'd it work out lmao
The lick he plays at the beginning is soooooo amazing
absolutely love this pedal.
you can hate on boss pedals all you want, but sd-1 is a keeper,
Stolen comment lol
Love Don. I can't believe there's not more comments. Love the pedal, he demonstrates it excellently. And I can , once again, inadvertently learn from another fellow guitarist. I just saw a concert with Los Lonely Boys. He's right up there with that dudes quality of playing. I love listening and relistening his demos.
I love this pedal, I did crazy things on the Boss GT 10 tone, that's my tone now, and I played more wedge, a little overdrive, it's crazy, people, the best pedal in the world, greetings from Serbia
Love the subtle spinal tap reference.
Its one of the 5 BOSS Pedals I own and use. I have the BOSS ML-2, MT-2, DS-1, SD-1, and the ST-2. All of them work great for certain purposes depending on which guitar I am playing on.
DreidMusicalX my first pedal ever was a used MT-2 I bought for $50 like 7 years ago and going strong!! My favorite from Boss hands down
Such a timelessly great pedal, love it.
I really enjoy the Sweetwater demos. I'v had my SD-1 for a long time. Normally run it into a clean amp at unity gain with drive at 12:00. Higher drive settings than that adds more compression, but it's great for slide. I play an Epi Les Paul and use my volume knobs for more or less gain. This is a great overdrive pedal. I'm going to add another drive pedal and use the SD-1 as a boost.
Another drive pedal and use this as a booster? How?
Don, nice demo of an old classic.
this is a great pedal
Just bought one today. Itching to try it out
No, don't try it out!
Sweet playing
I just bought this pedal, havent recieved it yet. Thank you for the review. I wish i could play like this though ,lol
great demo. i have this pedal and i use it as boost. sounds like a low gain peavey 5150 amp.
Marley Bengson So it can be used as a volume pedal as well?
What do you mean using this as a boost?
The best pedal the overdose driver. The word
Use the SD1 and learn how to tweak your amp. It will do it all.
my signal chain is:
MIM Telecaster -> tuner pedal -> Boss DS-1 -> Boss SD-1 -> Amoon Chorus -> Deltalab DD-1 -> Boss DD-6 -> Boss RV-7 -> 90's Fender Blackface amp
the SD-1 is probably my most-used pedal on the entire board, followed closely by the DS-1. Boss really knows what they're doing when it comes to cheap and useful pedals.
Boss DS-1 to Boss SD-1 is a killer tone, man.
Great pedal...
This dudes gurning reminds me of my Gran trying to eat a boiled candy.
ahahaha, I thought much the same man. Possibly worse than Clapton's.
Jim Jimminy The face of somebody enjoying playing... the SD-1 has the same effect on Pete Thorne. Great pedal.
Cool, thanks! Love it!
boss are match to strat 👍
I use mine in front of a slightly dirty amp and it really sings.
You talked me into it...
To me it sounds like it's cracking up and thin. I got a big muff in 1978, and still madly in love with it. Cheers!
In the hands of a good guitar player this pedal will kick ass period.Nothing wrong with it just tune in and find all your sweet spots.Imagine JOHN MAYER using it.Cheers.
This pedal seems to let the guitar come though without a lot of added color....it will sound different with every guitar you run through it. People love throwing around the phrase "transparent tone"....well this one nails that. Has a good mid range hump if you like that sort of thing.
About every overdrive pedal ever made boost the midrange. If it boosted the highs, it would easily feedback; if it boosted the lows, it would burst your speaker cone on your amp if you drive it crazy alongside the pedal. ;) Sound engineer here
Fantástico
Really tinny sound here -- maybe the amp or the mic? Is that what it sounds like live?
I've had one of those pedals for... um, a "long time". He may have the tone cranked on it.
Dave Rooney I suspect it was the recording apparatus instead of the pedal. Other demos have it sounding rich and fat. This one sounds like it's coming through a 9v battery amp.
It his set up. These pedals are the secret weapon of many pro guitarist out there and they are amazing- especially for the price! Cheers!
By any chance, do you know if all boss pedals have buffers that work even if they are not engaged?
Its a true bypass pedal
When I plug my new superdrive into my amp im getting a screech kinda sound coming though the pedal? settings are all at 12 o'clock.
I have a fender champion 40 - In your demo i dont hear anything like that (when the guitar is not being played), anyone any ideas why im getting this interference/sound - its not usable
Are you using isolated power or a well charged battery? If not, that’s probably the problem. If this doesn’t solve the problem, check out your sound with other pedals. If it still persist, change the wires. Then check you output jack on your guitar, especially pn strats, those have a tendency to get loose. Still not working properly? Check with a different guitar. If you changed all of the above and it is still noisy, it’s probably the amp itself. Do you ear that sound when the pedal is on? If it doesn’t bother you when you play, then use a noise gate. Pro tech here. Been 3 months I know but maybe this helps you :) Stay safe and rock on!
I have a Boss SD-1 running into a Fender Pro Junior.The amp is set for maximum overdrive. I cannot tell any difference with the pedal engaged.The amount of crunch is not easily identifiable.Guitar is a Fender Strat. Can you give me any suggestions what might be going on.I am a customer of Sweetwater.
I have a pro.jr also.... at volume above 8 it doesn't really get louder it just gets more saturated... I would suggest you turn amp volume to about 7 and then you will notice different tone when pedal is on. Or turn guitar volume down to clean up tone... at maximum on your amp it should be.pretty overdriven to begin with. If boost is what you want I would suggest a T.C. ELECTRONIC MICRO BOOST. It's a white pedal.and just boosts it up to.20db. It's a loud clean boost that cost about $45.00 new.
Thanks Darrell for the information@@darrellmcdonald7883
My pedal is hissy. Is that normal?
It is noisy but just gotta dial down the gain
I have literally had this pedal for 30 years and it still works great, but I have to say my Fulltone OCD is a better sounding overdrive
Those are some quality guitar faces at the beginning 😂
Great player though!
I think you accidentally said distortion while talking about an overdrive pedal haha. Two different things man.
Alright I'm getting one its only 60€
is 'guitar face' supposed to make people not tell if you are a man or woman
The sound is way too thin for my taste...but yeah great classic pedal
You can easily alter that yourself
Why is he wearing his mums blouse?
hey look it's Steve Vai!!!
Boss is a respectable name in audio equipment, but anyone who ever used this thing knows that it doesn't do anything that an amp's overdrive knob wouldn't do! Anything other than this simple but honest advice is either sales spin or hype sucking!

I thought you were an old lady when I clicked the vid
Isnt good
Misael Barcelata ok buddy
Awesome demonstration! Great sound as well, going to plug mine in tomorrow and see how it turns out.
I have a question that I was wondering if someone might be able to troubleshoot. So I have a Blackstar 60W tube amp set on the more distored, "metal" sounding setting with a B.C. Rich Ironbird with fishman active pick ups, and a 10 foot Mogami Cable. When I'm just sitting there with the guitar resting not doing anything I'm getting this almost high pitched, super annoying constant ringing noise. The only way to really alleviate it is to rest my hand on the strings to mute the feedback sound. If I turn on the voicing button my amp which basically makes it a more treble enhanced distored sound the ringing high pitched noise with the guitar resting is especially atrocious and even louder.
Is this normal? Am I doing something wrong I'm unaware of?
