Boss SD-1

[echodeluxe]

i really like it.

 

[jpickett]

this was a good thread

 

[JSteed]

I just wish it had more output

 

[SergioPt]

The analogman mods will get it the extra output, but it will lose some of the grit

 

[Rockerduck]

Why more output from a pedal? The amp volume knob give more output. Its a great pedal and better than alot,,alot of booteek pedals.

I love how it works as a boost, but it just doesn't kick my already cranked amp enough.

 

[Squigglefunk]

it is one of my favorites. full of harmonic goodness.

 

[David Garner]

I love it as a solo boost.

I hope that's because there's some painfully obvious solution you're about to explain

 

[papersun]

this thread is correct.

 

[freaksho]

so you don't mind the bypass bleed then?

Interesting. I have an early MIJ SD-1 that has so much output that unity gain is about 8 o'clock. I assumed you were joking!

Modded, it's one of the most versatile pedals available by anyone, and depending on the mod, can sound better than many boutique offerings at three times the price. Stock, it's meh.

Hard to hear it, I hear:

So if the SD-1 has this bleed does that mean the tube screamer has it too? They're basically the same thing right, just one is asymmetrical clipping and the other is symmetrical clipping?

This. For me it was a good pedal stock, and good to boost another pedal or an amp, but since I had it modded by SolidGoldFx, it is also a great pedal on it's own. A keeper for me in my rig.
