Item Description

Since 1981, the SD-1 Super Overdrive has been a go-to gain pedal for generations of players—trusted across genres for its reliable tone and performance. Built on the groundbreaking asymmetrical clipping circuit of the iconic 1977 OD-1—one of the first-ever BOSS compacts—the SD-1 carries forward a true overdrive legacy. The SD-1 delivers rich, smooth, and highly musical overdrive tones that continue to inspire guitarists everywhere. A cornerstone of pedalboards worldwide, the SD-1’s signature drive has defined the sound of a generation. Responsive overdrive tones that cut through the mix with focused mids and controlled bass. Enhances clean and low-gain amps with just the right amount of grit. Perfect for tightening up high-gain amps with extra focus and punch. Easily stacks with boosts and other overdrives for a powerful, customized tone.
