Review Boss SD-1 SuperOverdrive
 
 
 

Review by a visitor on 9.11.2007




I bougt it at my local Guitar Center for $30 (on sale) and it is great. I got it April 2007. I bougt it because it was cheap (for a cheap guy like me).

 
 
  Features  
 
If there is something to compain about, it is the effect range. Itnulls either scream or "wailing killer" scream. It has only but 3 knobs (Level, Tone, & Drive), a problem to some, but wasy to use.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
VERY easy to use. Looks and sounds way better than any cheaper or slightly more expensive pedal.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
This pedal makes ANYTHING sound better. The SD-1 farts distortion but never generates any excess noise (except for a slight "wailing" sound on my $20 amp). Best Inullve used so far.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
THE MOST RELIABLE STOMPBOX AVAILABLE. It is made of steel, so itnulls indestructable. The 3 knobs will never move by themselves. Long lasting. Beyong gig worthy.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
I love my BOSS SD-1. It was cheap ($30 on sale), and itnulls everything I need. I am now considering another BOSS pedal (and AC adapter, buying 9volts all of the time is hell).
 
 

Review by Corre on 9.11.2007




I bought my BOSS SD-1 at my local Guitar Center store and it is great. It enhances the sound of my crap Strat greatly. I bought April 2007 wth birthday money I had received. It was about $30 (on sale)! I bought to enhance the sound of my guitar and to have a little scream to boot.

 
 
  Features  
 
If their is sometthing to complain about this heavenly stompbox, it is that their is few choices on how strong the distortion is. Itnulls either scream or deffining scream. Not to mention it lets out this high-pitch wail on my (crap) amp. Few controls, a problem to some, but easy to use.
 
 
 
  Playability  
 
This pedal can only make a guitar tone better. WAY better than cheap pedals, and better than most expensive pedals.
 
 
 
  Quality  
 
Sound is amazing and farts hot distortion. No extra noise except on little, $10 amplifiers.
 
 
 
  Durability  
 
THE MOST RELIABLE PEDAL EVERRRR. It is made of steel, so it wonnullt break. And the knobs never ever move on their own. Definatly gig worthy.
 
 
 
  Overall  
 
I love my BOSS SD-1, it lives up to my criteria. I chose because it was the cheapest I could find at the time (sale). I am hoping to by another BOSS pedal.
