I had one ... sold it ... bought 3 other more expensive pedals ... sold them all and bought the SD-1 again ... and now I am happy ... 😂
Just do what I do, keep buying the cheap ones.
Abenteuer Wildnis hHahahaha
Me to. Ripper of a Pedal.
Similar experience here. It was my first pedal decades ago, moved on to all the fancy drive pedals, recently got another sd1 and have vowed to never sell it, because even if I am not using it for a season, I’ll want it again, and I won’t get enough in trade for it to be worth trading :-)
Right choose
My girl just hit me with this for our 3 year anniversary. She’s a keeper no fucking doubt 🤘🏽🔥
girl? is that a new model by fender?
What's a girl?
@@AGM124PGT naw, Gibson I think
Cheese cube
she also takes it in the a$$!!! Shouldn’t have let her go.
Being honest, I went in wanting a blues driver but I left with a super overdrive, it's a super underrated pedal
Underrated? :-D... The SD-1 is one of the best selling pedal on the planet ;-)
@@lucagottimusic just because something is really well selling doesn't mean it's really well received, which it kinda isnt compared to stuff like the original boss od, boss distortion, tube screamer and more premium drives it kinda just exists
@@rollingon5566 You're right
Nobody talks much about them. It really kicks arse!
I had a Blues driver for a few years before I picked up a super overdrive. Best pedal swap I've ever made. Blues driver is nice, don't get me wrong but the SD1 can sound so much more raw.
Boss is the all time industry's standard when it comes to effects pedal.
I wonder if this pedal would be good for playing hair metal
@@southernpride2003 you would want the rev d3 but it's $300
Pure sky circuit similarity
I use this pedal for an AC/DC and Foo Fighters kind of tone. I also like it as a boost for my blues driver. Love it.
I went through so many overdrive pedals before buying this for $50 and deciding I liked it the best.
J'ai commencé la guitare a 18 ans avec la Boss OD-1 , j'ai maintenant 61 ans et après avoir essayé toutes les pédales du monde et de l'univers , je suis revenu à Boss il y à bien longtemps , maintenant je suis en paix , plus besoin d'aller voir ailleurs , j'ai ce qu'il me faut .
I got mine for Christmas today and although I've barely been able to play around with it, I love it to pieces.
It’s amazing bought one when I was 13, never used it. Had sooo many other boutique ODs over the years. Found my old one and it’s a permanent staple on my board! You can’t go wrong with this yellow beast. Stacks very well with its brother the DS1.
Boss does a lot of things incorrectly, but their overdrive pedals are very nice. Their original ones from back in the day are great, too. It gives you that perfect thick AC/DC rhythm crunch, if that's your thing. If that's the sound you desire, then Boss overdrive pedals are for you.
The SD-1 is one of my favourite pedals of all time, brilliant for boosting Marshall amps to play Death Metal.
Boss pedals are without a doubt the greatest pedals available. Sure there are other great pedals out there, but nothing that offers so much for so little. Silent switching, excellent buffers ( for the most part) and quality sounds that are simple to achieve. I’ve been down the boutique road only to find that Boss did it well after all. I only wish they had a transparent drive like the Klon or Soul Food.
Get a blues driver or an od 2
They just work so well. It's the sound of the 80/90s. Bombproof
Ah, Dagan. Your passion is contagious. If ever you’re in Melbourne I’ll buy you a waffle and cappuccino from Degraves St.
This was my first pedal. About 15 years ago. Lost it in a move and purchased it again. Highly recommend it.
Great pedal, I must confess to preferring the blues driver. Had the same one since 1998!
The few other overdrive pedals I've tried take a lot more to get to a tone that I enjoy. With the boss sd1 I just turn it on make a few changes and I can get an amazing sound that cuts through great in seconds. With any guitar. I love it.
I’ve had this pedal for almost 20 years!! Till death do us part
I’ve got one. Still one of the best overdrives. Doesn’t change the AMP tone. 🤘
“Here’s the un-effected clean signal”: plays with more gain than I’d ever use..
I swear this is the case in every video I watch these days. People don't know what a clean sound is anymore.
Never said anything about it being clean 😂
Overdrives like this work best when used to boost an already dirty amp. Why watch a video on an overdrive if you want a mostly clean sound?
Paul Who took the jam out of your doughnut?
Yes, a slightly, slightly crunchy amp, that's also on the verge on insanity. Makes sense
I got mine used for $25 on CL and I couldn’t be happier!
Just like most of us I've been that quest of tone that never ends and I picked up my fair share of dirtpedals thinking I struck Gold. But eversince I picked up an SD1 it has been on (one of) my boards because it's just a no frills, set and forget pedal that just sounds good. BOSS stuff just does what it says on the tin. When this world ends, all they will find is Keith, a Tele, the Edge's famous AC30 and Boss pedals.
First Pedal and sat there with everything on loud smiling!!!
Easy to access the battery and came with!!! Got to love it!! Plug and Volume!!!
Just bought one of these off reverb. Absolutely loving it
If you pair this with a Boss DS-1 distortion pedal, would this be able to give a similar sound to ACDC?
@@nickmagaro2645 this is enought
@@lorenzoboselli1725 but would this be good for playing hair metal
@@southernpride2003 i don’t play hair metal but in my opinion this isn’t enough , you probably need something stronger .
@@lorenzoboselli1725 nevermind I'll just boost it with my treble booster
Great review and good point about the difference between the TS9 and the SD1. Boss pedals stack really well with other Boss pedals. If you really want to get the Hammer Of Thor thump out of the SD1, then stack it with a Boss Graphic EQ7 pedal. It's of the hook. TS9 is more mid rangey for sure, but SD1 is definitely warmer.
Boss SD-1 is a killer pedal. Zakk Wylde recoded "No rest for the wicked" for Ozzy with that Boss SD-1 and Gibson & Epiphone Les Paul's
Received it for my birthday two weeks ago. It's fantastic, i play guitar even more now
You remind me of Russel Brand with chops! Cool vid!
Thought the same thing... specially the movie Get Him to the Greek
I just got the SD 1 on 12-24-19. I specified the date so you can know it is a recent pedal and not " so called " older vintage units". This pedal screams the blues or rock!! Definite tube amp tone on the edge of a smooth, creamy break up. I used a tube amp. Volume low. Pedal settings were : drive low , volume on pedal fairly high. I recommend this pedal!!!
Same comment basically. Had one years ago as my go to overdrive. Used many others over the years. Bought one again. Don’t need anything else for an OD. This is it!
Bought one of this after seeing Jimmy Page holding one in a photo , well this pedal is the real deal
Got mine out last night and put in in front of My HT 1 it's an awesome pedal and all I need. Y'all we're reading my mind. 🤘🤘🤘
Oh MaaaaaaaN! i Will Be Reunited This ad Boy! After 2 Years!
hay matey...my first pedal was a "little big muff" purchased from "woodruffs" in brum when they had their closing sale back in 1980/1981 !!!.
Own two....won't ever get rid of them. Love them as much as my Digitech Grunge pedal. Have all three in line with a good delay pedal and phase pedal. Can't go wrong! BOSS makes one durable and versatile pedal to have in your pad.
It is my favorite overdrive pedal!
it is a wonderful pedal to use as a foundation and stack heavier pedals after it! I love mine!!
Just a superb pedal... my first from the 80s was stolen... I finally picked a replacement up just recently ;o)
Yeah man I recently revisited this after trying out all kinds of boutique drives, and there is really something quite special about how this pedal sounds and more importantly, how it behaves. It's really something else.
I like the demo dude, seems like an easy going lad~
Used to use the OD1 in the 80s into a Marshall jcm 800 - best sound ever
Clean unaffected signal sounds pretty good, wouldn’t mess with it.
That LP Custom looks delicious
I’ve been using mine SD-1 since 1985 and I love.
dude, I just got mine and it made my sound killer. I run off my Marshall DSl 40 amp distortion and this pedal gave me that extra kick I needed to play more thrash and metal sound. This pedal is RAD!!!!!! Thanks for the awesome review.
I’m not a les Paul guy but damn I’d love to have that one
Get the epiphone version, they have the same exact model and the sound of the epiphone one is great, really close to a gibson.
My interest in them has been growing on me. I'm thinking they actually sound great. I'm a hot pickup/ pointy guitar kind of dude but damn, I lowkey want an LP now. I mean Jeff Hanneman even used one, so did Zakk Wylde.
@@JustAdude291 man but it goes out of tune pretty often according to alot of peoples reviews, which happens to me pretty often aswell (my guitar is a les paul).
I wasn’t either, then I was gifted one for Christmas and it’s my go to now
@@JustAdude291 Randy rhoads used LP as well
I really like the tone and feel of this pedal. I wil buy IT. 🎸🤟👍
just bought the 40th anniversary SD-1... same pedal as the original but black... I love it... I overlooked it forever and spent thousands on Boutique OD pedals without getting that sound I wanted... well that all changed this week. My Mesa Fillmore 50 now has a Marshall sound that I have always wanted like that JCM tone without the sizzling top end that I don't like.
Dagan needs to start his own TH-cam channel
There is a problem, each time I watch Dagan demoing something I think of, I end up buying it next few days. Mama I’m bankrupt
I use Boss Turbo Overdrive, the best Overdrive/distortion i ever had. Before that, i used Turbo Distortion and Heavy Metal, but i didn't like the sound. The sound from my Turbo Overdrive is lovely. Jörgen from Sweden
It's such a rich, juicy tone. I like and use it more than my more expensive overdrives (Way Huge, Fender, etc). I even like it more than my ts9..its just the ts9 gets used more because it pairs with everything. But if I want a bluesy-rock lead tone other than the one from my amp, that's my go to.
It's by far my cheapest pedal... But close to my favourite. So, in this case at least, he speaks the truth people! Seriously. Get one.
THE BEST OD Pedal EVER!!!
SD1 is a classic. Great video...... love a white custom too.
Picked one of these up at a pawn shop today. Right away became one of my favorites. For $35cad I wish I'd gotten it before so many others I pair a lot more for.
ive got both the ibanez tubescreamer and the boss sd1 and both are great pedals in its own way but i lean towards the sd 1
Yep have 1, and love it!! Thanks for the vid!
Imagine for one second that Jimmy Page was born in 1995. He'd be demoing pedals on TH-cam
this is my second pedal after i borrowed my brother's DS-1 along whith his Shecter Omen 6 Diamond Series (which i personally thing is not a great guitar). And it is SO MUCH BETTER!! pinch harmonics are easier and last longer and i can also hold the bends better as well. absolutely love this pedal.
Just to be clear for the people watching. The SD-1 that your favorite guitarists are using are probably the older ones that sound better then a new SD-1. That being said this is my main OD and I am very happy with it. I just hate it when someone says things like this dude to sell pedals. You could say the same about the tube screamer, but there is a big difference between a new TS808 and an original.
i want to play like Dagan when i’m older.
The SD1 was my first overdrive.
Artists who used it: zakk wylde, kirk hammett (yep really) Jimmy page, joe satriani, steve vai, David gilmour, EVH i could go on
@raw dawgit Ooh i did not know😁
When Vai or Satriani just wanted to push their already dirty amps they went the Boss way, indeed. That is true.
Criss Oliva🤘😁🎸RIP😢
@Black Metal Wolf my man
Jason becker
i had one and i love this. i use this also as boost on the solos. great pedal.
Did he say the unaffected tone was slightly crunchy!!????????? Sound like an old Plexi on eleven!! You got to love Dagen though! his personality and energy are infectious
Yay Dagan!! Great Performance as usual, and very instructional Vid!! ❤️👍🎸🎵🎶😎 I'm now Ordering an SD-1. Thanks!!
I had one years ago and got rid because I assumed all the other 4 x as expensive boutique pedals were better!....they aren't and I now have another SD-1!!!
This is 100% accurate
Dagan, you are the man.
Dagan, great Vid man! Have you had the chance to try the Nre Fender MTG Distortion Pedal? I Love mine! Everything from Blues to Metal and includes a Boost with separate Gain and Level Control. Please keep up the Good Work! Love your Vids and Chops man!! Cheers from the US!
Boss have so many great pedals.
Sounds like I could be the status quo ( Rick Parfett ) sound with that.good video
Love this guy! Great review!
just got me 1 SD-1 just great
I had one paid like 22 bucks used for it. Good stand alone drive
Damn it!!! Now I got to buy this one to!! My wife is gonna kill me!!
If your wife is going to kill you over $50 bucks, you need a new wife.
The only OD I use
Cool Demo Review, Thankyou. I have a DS-1 after my Blues Driver Pedal, But I want an SD-1 also to add to the mix. This may have convinced me, Love that Les Paul Custom too. But 10K vs $50 for the pedal is an easy choice for me, lol.
I just got my Landgraff modded SD-1 and it sounds great.
Y’all, EVH used this pedal so that’s when you know you gotta buy it-
..plus prince, jimmy page, etc.
The sd-1 was my first pedal, and I gave it away to a friend cause he didn’t have one and now I regret it
Not very mids focussed? Wrong. It was Boss's answer to the Tubescreamer. If you want a flat EQ drive get the OD3. Both are wonderful industry standard pedals from Boss. My advice - buy both and stack em. Kick SD1 on for solos 🌴
Super Overdrive and Turbo Distortion are the greatest things Boss has ever created.
Many famous guitarists used this pedal but switched to Tube Screamer eventually. I assume it's a lack of bass.It really does cut a lot of low frequencies unfortunately
That’s one of the best things about it for certain uses. Less bass = tighter distortion.
@@singleproppilot yeah, for some lead parts it's certainly a killer.
Beautiful white Custom. But the way the SD-1 is setup is way too fuzzy for me imo
Love this pedal
I did not expect you to sound like that
My first overdrive.
Boss makes quality engineered products that only pedal snobs turn their noses up at! And yes Dagan you’ll find many pros using Boss!
To be honest the amp sound unaffected sounds mint a lot better than with the overdrive, the overdrive turns it thin and tinny, not warm like he says !
I gotta get me one of those!!
Which 1 is better for punk rock. The Boss Super Overdrive or Boss Blues Driver?
Super Overdrive! 🤘
My roommate just gave me this and a couple of Danelectro peddles he had laying around
Always on my board
I just the SD-1W to push my Stealth-50.
Bit silly only demonstrating it with the amp overdrive already on so we never hear the pure tone of the pedal...
You wouldnt wanna hear its pure tone lol.
I’ve been trying to dethrone my Boss OD-1X since I got it, and nothing compares. My Fulltones, Suhrs, VSs, MXRs, etc don’t even hold a candle. I don’t have an SD-1 yet, so I’ll have to see how it compares.
Any update on this matter?
Saint Jabroni Yes. As I moved through various different tube amp brands and models, my Fulltone OCD V1.7 became the most consistent and dynamic overdrive in my array. The OCD is not as smooth as the Boss OD-1X is, but finds a suitable voice in any amp I put behind it making it easy for me to work with. The OD-1X either goes from amazing to an unsalvageable ‘meh’ when I change amps. Also worth noting, I feed a Wampler Ego compressor and Boss GE-7 (stock) into my overdrives, and also have an Xotic EP Booster at the end of my direct in chain. I couldn’t find meaning in this world without those three pedals coloring everything in the middle.
@@OnAir21 Thanks for the comment. Good info. What kind or kinds of music do you play?
I must say that it's best to demo the pedals with a clean channel on the amp.
Use it every damn day.
Happy new year!!
First pedal... distortion or overdrive??
Dial it in for an AC/DC sound....
I'm considering this pedal....what setting are best for the AC/DC sound?
@@stevelafirenza779 it's best to really play around with it because it may react differently depending on your amp settings
For AC/DC this isn't the pedal. Boss DS1 will get you there
David Kastin uhh no this pedal is perfect for AC/DC....DS-1 is too much gain and mid scooped
