The SD-1 is classic and probably the best $50ish bucks you can spend. I had the Wylde Overdrive and it still cut bass almost as much as the SD-1. I ended up getting the MXR CustomBadass OD with the 100hz knob and it's basically the SD-1 circuit so it works super well. I'm probably going to get the new Wylde Audio pedals just to have them. I'm really looking forward to that wah. It's a one of a kind.

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

Yea his new ones certainly look cool and that phaser adds a good bit of gain when you use it

[@InhalerOfTheRifftree]

Your videos are so interesting and eclectic man! You feel like the only "normal" youtuber, covering guitar content. This is an awesome idea, given Zakk always used an SD-1...

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

😆 yea my shits chaotic as all hell. Thanks!

@@InhalerOfTheRifftree thanks alot

[@joshuasanchez7270]

I have both of these. The SD1 was my first Overdrive pedal, and I fell in love with it from the beginning. Later, bought the ZWO. I don't regret it. Both of them are amazing.

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

Yep both are great choices!

[@Ninjakutsueki]

Thanks for getting straight into the playing, and not wasting time with fluff! *instant like*

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

@@Ninjakutsueki thanks!

[@mykneeshurt8393]

Both sound great to me.

[@doomwizards]

I had an old mxr wylde overdrive, it was great and maintained the low end, but I still have my sd1

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

Different enough to have both i think

[@jeffhunter9311]

Did I miss something did you do a video on the ultraviolet Legacy B? I started watching with the green one

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

Thank you for watching! It should go up this weekend. I already filmed it but didnt want to do to much bc rich stuff back to back

[@jeffhunter9311]

@@TheDistortionPrinciple I'm getting a Legacy B but after watching The Green video I'm just waiting to see how the ultraviolet went and I was planning on going with Sweetwater

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

@@jeffhunter9311it went a little better. The nut is very high. Not a huge deal and i think i like it over the stealth

[@jeffhunter9311]

@TheDistortionPrinciple Your Legacy B looks sharp and sounds great you look comfortable playing it I have narrowed it down to the Pearl White Legacy B or the Legacy B Exotic natural KOA I will not use the extra controls but they both have the same pickup

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

@@jeffhunter9311 the white looks so good and they really are comfortable to play

[@christopherkennedy873]

Always impressed how well Boss stacks up against ANYTHING, really... 🙄
I have WAY more "dirt" pedals than I'm comfortable admitting to -(ODs to Dist - to Fuzz etc etc)
With rhe ODs especially, I'd say 85+% of em can get REALLY close to any the others ( sometimes a few tweaks, others a stack or boost needed)
(Dont have that mxr...yet...)🤔
🤪
Thanks for all your consistently interesting and informative vids ( especially the comparison/shoot outs)

John 5 uses the sd1 right outta the box..i have it..an 808 and a ts9..started with the 9 n loved it..moved to the 808 and liked it more...then to sd1 n stayed with it and the 808 on the board

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

Great choices

[@InhalerOfTheRifftree]

Same here lol

[@rk28984]

Boss OS2!
In that comparison I like the Wylde OD better. But to be honest you can't go wrong with an good old SD1, but for my taste the SD1 lacks a bit of volume boost and can sound a bit to abbrasive. I mostly use my OD to be a slightly dirty boost pedal into a amp that is on the verge of break up.
Also try a Boss OS2, it was the secret weapon Kurt Ballou used for a long time, it is dirt cheap (I got my used OS2 for 25 bucks) and sounds incredible. Just like a tighter SD1 with way more volume on top, and it can get pretty fuzzy if you blend in the distortion circuite.

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

Damn
Yea i need to hunt that pedal down and give it a shot

[@bunditthianthong]

The SD-1 has a better midrange, while the MXR has a weird midrange.

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

Very true

[@romanlanzas508]

sd1 cuz its cheaper...

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

Cheaper, built to last and iconic. Cant go wrong there!

[@joshferguson9703]

Also used by so many players that are better than Zakk In my not so humble opinion

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

@@joshferguson9703 definitely a classic. Jeff Waters from annhilator was a big fan of it as well as the older OD1

[@SaintsCheat]

Kinda a pointless video without a sample of the dry signal? You could be using a 5150 or a Mesa on gain channels with diff settings etc 😂. Next time play a small riff without pedals engaged THEN engage . Novel ideal eh?

[@TheDistortionPrinciple]

K

[@joshferguson9703]

The sd1 for the simple fact I don’t like zakk as a player or his tone

[@randyburnett7285]
