Classic pedal, from the early era of production. Great condition, never mounted on a board, sounds great. Built in March of 1984. Having a clear out of some pedals, so check my other listings.A cool article from the web: From OD-1 to SD-1 The seeds of the SD-1 Super Overdrive were sown by 1977’s OD-1 Overdrive. With just two controls (Level and Overdrive), the OD-1 became one of the first pedals to truly emulate the sound of an overdriven amp. It deployed an asymmetrical clipping circuit. This prevented the distortion of the positive and negative waveforms swings equally. The technical benefit produced a more harmonically-complex distortion tone than most pedals. Yet, as astounding as the OD-1 was for its time, the pedal was nearing its expiration date as the ’80s unfolded. Eventually, BOSS discontinued it in July 1985. “Some felt the sound of the OD-1 was too sweet and that the frequency range was insufficient,” designer Kanji Kubo said in The BOSS Book. “This is why we added the tone control to the SD-1.” Timeless BenefitsBesides, the pedal’s midrange boost and bass cut are wonderful tools to tighten up the sound of vintage tube amps. They can push medium-gain monsters into high-gain saturation and provide grit and sass to clean-amp tones. The SD-1’s rich roar preserves a player’s most subtle dynamic nuances. As a result, many guitarists rate it as one of the best all-around BOSS overdrive boxes. Legendary Players Became FansThe SD-1 certainly impressed more than a few guitar heroes. Notable users include Eddie Van Halen, Steve Vai, Zakk Wylde, John 5, Mark Knopfler, Josh Homme, Richie Sambora, Reb Beach, and Warren DeMartini. Not to mention, Jason Becker, Kirk Hammett, Robert Smith, Jonny Greenwood, Bruce Kulick, Lindsey Buckingham, Brad Whitford, Tracii Guns, and even bassist John Paul Jones.The SD-1 has been a frequent fixture on The Edge’s pedalboards since the latter stages of the Boy tour in 1981. More recently, it appeared in a rack during a Rig Rundown by Premier Guitar. Jimmy Page had an SD-1 during his tenure in The Firm, and David Gilmour plugged into one for his second solo album, About Face, in 1984.Cameo Appearances SD-1 watchers will spy the pedal in various videos. For example, you can see Jack White using an SD-1 during a White Stripes appearance on Top of the Pops in 2002. A brief view of an SD-1 appears at the side of the stage as John Frusciante played his first gig with the Red Hot Chili Peppers since 2007 on February 8, 2020. In the “Manic Monday” music video, Prince bends down and adjusts his SD-1 during the performance. There’s a sighting of the SD-1 on Don Felder’s pedalboard for the Eagles’ 1994 Hell Freezes Over tour. Sleater Kinney‘s Carrie Brownstein’s board shows the pedal next to a BOSS BD-2 Blues Driver. Rock Star Tricks and Travel TipsIt’s also instructive—and plain super cool—to discover how guitar stars utilize the SD-1. Sure, most players let the SD-1 circuitry do its thing. Occasionally, someone like Josh Homme comes up with a neat little trick. Homme can be very tight-lipped about gear. Still, he revealed he likes to use the SD-1 as a kind of old-school treble booster. The Queens of the Stone/Them Crooked Vultures guitarist turns the Drive all the way down, and the Tone all the way up. Give it a shot.More than a few pros who do a lot of “fly gigs” to television shows or benefit concerts. In these situations, the quality of the amp backline can be awesome or awful. Traveling musicians often choose to travel light by tossing an SD-1 into their guitar gig bag. The SD-1 ensures that whatever amp awaits, they’ll get an organic, “repeatable” overdrive.A Community FavoriteOf course, it’s not just guitar superstars that have embraced the SD-1. Many journalists have selected the SD-1 for various “essential pedals” lists. Moreover, scores of players continue to use or discover the Super OverDrive. For 2014’s Guitar Player Celebrates 100 BOSS Compact Pedals, the community chose its favorites. The SD-1 came in at number six. On the question, “What was your very first BOSS compact pedal?” the SD-1 jumped up to number three.
