Boss Overdrive Pedals Explained OD-1/OD-3/SD-1

- Boss Overdrives: We all love them, right? However, there is commonly some confusion among the masses regarding the guitar pedals that are aptly named "overdrive" in their line - the Boss OD-1, OD-3, and SD-1. Is the OD-1 and the OD-3 the same? Nope. Remotely? Nope. Is the SD-1 just an OD-1 with a tone control? Nope. All different from each other, but all great sounding!

I love the SD-1. Can't beat that for $50. Don't honestly really like using it on its own, but I use it as a boost for the overdrive channel on my cheap beginner Marshall MG15 and it sounds great to me. MG amps aren't really good, I know, but its what I can afford, and it sounds good enough for me to be happy playing in my bedroom.
I love the OD3, one of the most under rated pedals. Interesting to see the almost flat output, I always have said that it keeps the sound of the guitar (dare I use the word transparent).
I just discovered that I LOVE the sound of an OD-3. No Opamp, pre-clipping and a FET clipping stage, what a masterpiece.
The SD-1 sounds HUUUUUGE.
looks like i gotta find an OD-1 that sounded the best
I love the frequency analyser videos, and has always kind of wondered the difference between these pedals. I would have been very interested to see the analysis of the tone control on the signals though.
Thank you sir.
Love the OD3, such an underrated, great overdrive pedal.
I like how the $39.95 sticker is still on the OD-3.
I remember I had the SD-1 pedal and a 25W Epiphone amp back when I was a teenager during the early 90s. The amp also had an overdrive setting and I combined both effects and the result was simply amazing. I loved the tone so much until a moron broke my amp :(
I am loving these short yet deeper electronic breakdown videos you've been doing.
I love these videos where you go through the circuits and the frequency analyser so we can have an understanding on what the circuits are doing. Thanks.
I just ran across this and you are the best I have seen so far, explanations are the best.
I'm so glad you're still making videos. They are always fun and informative. If I only watch one RUclips video a week it's often yours. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. You are greatly appreciated.
thanks for making this Brian. I've been doing research on the differences between these pedals and there's surprisingly little information on how they compare online, especially the OD-1.
the frequency analyzer is probably the coolest thing I have ever seen brought into a video to compare "sound/tonal" characteristics of guitar related gear (amps, pedals, pickups, etc) It just cuts through the use of jargon of over used terms - the graphic representation of the frequency spectrum says it all... no need for words. I think every overdrive/distortion/fuzz pedal should be graphically cataloged (that would be so cool). This, as well as many other of your videos really help in making decisions and understanding what sonic elements add up to what you are after. Would like to see the graphic spectrum for the blues driver added in here... as well as the DS1. Thanks for the video!
I had an SD-1 many years ago and traded it in because I didn’t like it. Knowing what I know now as a musician (with all the resources we have at our disposal today to learn about gear and tone), I’m 100% sure I was using and pairing it incorrectly back then, lol. Would love to try it out again and give it another chance.
I've wondered if there was something like that analyzer to see what my favorite pedals are doing to my sound. I like these videos where you show whats going on schematic-wise and showing the curves was great. Thanks Brian!
All sound wicked. Love the breakdowns of the circuits! OD-3 definitely stands out as it's own thing, in a good way. Just got an SD-2 which sounds totally different again on the lower gain "Crunch" setting.. The "Lead" setting is just amazing face melting distortion.
Great video, Brian! I especially liked your display of the circuit diagrams and comments about the circuits.
