BOSS OD-1 vs BOSS SD-1 Freq Analyzer

[LLL]

Brian Wampler made a vid a while ago where he not only showed you the difference in tone between these two classic all-time boosts, but also the frequencies they change.

Here's screenshots:

That’s nice graphic comparison. The OD-1 has a nice and even upper frequency cut as that downslope shows. Nice mids. The ugly lows are cut too.

Yes but it needs more meat in the thigh area,,,,, IMO.

Hahaha, I meant, "The OD-1 has a nice AND even upper frequency cut as that downslope shows."

I wonder if there is a good analyzer like that available as an app for a phone.

I have never played through an OD-1. I really want to try one now!

One complaint I've heard on the OD-1 is that it lacks a bit in the output. I wonder if there's a mod to boost it.(?)

Plenty of output with a somewhat cooking Marshall. If someone needs more gain than that to play, then they need to practice.

That's where the SD-1 comes in.

Yeah I hear ya, I've never had the OD-1 myself to form an opinion.
I'm thrilled with my 40th-A SD-1. It really enhances without changing the tone to the degree of my 808-based tubescreamers.
