I have seen a lot of chatter about the Boss SD-1 and now the Boss OD-3 as being the pedals that everyone should be familiar with.
I have a bad habit and curiosity on equipment, so I bought a brand new Yellow Box.
It is my understanding that folks used this OD to accentuate an overdriven amp.
I put the SD-1 on my board which has a Tumnus and a Wampler DB+ as the flavor.
I cranked up my new Dr. Z EMS and I get a warm dep overdriven tone. When I click on the SD-1 I definitely get a signal boost but it seems to be much more thin than the amps tone.
When I have the Tumnus and the DB+ engaged I get a snappy OD tone, when I click on the SD-1 it seems to bring the tone down about two clicks. (referencing an attenuator)
I sort of expected a thinner tone, but I am not familiar with that pedal.
Question: Is that the correct use of that pedal?
I had purchased a mod kit from Monte Allums, this one is called the stacked gain mod I believe, plus I bought a re-cap kit.
I intend to see if I can make this pedal a keeper.
Has anyone used the Monte Allums Mods on their SD-1?
