MGR/Conor Raftery « Boss SD-1 »
Published on 12/18/03 at 15:00I found the SD-1 on the Flying Pig website. A stonkingly good price at £33.01. I wanted an overdrive pedal to add to my marshall MGDFX 50.
It has some nice sounds on the clean channel, more of a light distortion, its certainly not for the Nu-Metallers. It gives the overdrive a kick up the ass. The controls are simple for a beginner, but for those who want some different overdrive sounds, you can twiddle the tone knob. Finally, a stompbox which doesnt make a clicking noise when witching on and off.
For me, it doesnt give as strong a drive sound on the clean channel as i would have hoped. Apart from that its a really nice stompbox.
BOSS quality design, nice metal casing. Ive dropped quite a few times and its not even made a dent. This will certainly last for an eternity.
If your a classic rocker, use light amp overdrive, and then for the solo stomp and feel the power. Jazz players will get a nice light fuzz on the clean channel. This is not a pedal to be used on its own. It complements any effect it is paired to. The only way to see if you like it is to try it out in a shop.
