Looking for a mod to do to my boss sd1... dont have any money and want it to sound better specifically for boosting my peavey... i normally have the overdrive set to 0 and level set to max, tone in the middle and eq from there. Its very fizzy... I can never get a brutal smooth overdrive out of it, its always super fizzy harsh etc... any mods i can do it that are cheap and sound good?

You could trade it in for an mxr wylde overdrive. I believe the wylde overdrive was based off of an sd-1 modified to retain more low end. That or find the mod that makes one the other and do that. I'll look around for more about it.

Re: A mod for boss sd1 for metal?
your pedal settings are your problem, if you want more low end you sould put the tone knob at 0, back the level a little and add drive to compensate, i use a similar setting with an OD-3
(wich is darker tha the SD-1 and has a flabby low end) i run my V equipped with a dimebucker through it and then to my peavey envoy on the modern chanel, definetly more gain than i would ever need, not to say that the dimebucker is ridiculously hot itself, and also very bright, i use the pedal to smooth a little the top on the dime without loosing attack and addin some unnecesary omphhh (wich i enjoy havin' haha)

Save up enough money for the Monte Allums SD-1 GT mod. It rocks and made my pedal useable and versatile.

So wait, are you basically just using it as a boost and EQ? Maybe you should sell it and get a boost pedal? I actually use my Bad Monkey for the same exact thing, I rarely use the drive, I just use the level on the clean channel to drive my preamp. Is your Peavey tube or SS?

Run the SD into the DS, then into the PV. Use the overdrive to boost the distortion pedal. You probably won't need the amp's distortion.

I didn't mean dollar for dollar, I meant trading it in for money toward, or selling it on craigslist or something. A wylde overdrive is like 50 used man, I don't know of you plan to mod it yourself and you're just planning to get the materials or have it modded for paid labor so I don't know what your budget really is.

Re: A mod for boss sd1 for metal?
you need some khriss bliss on your amp!!!!!!
also khriss is a cool forum member pretty much the man to ask if you want metal tone for pennies
also trust me dude, you're using your OD HORRIBLY WRONG!!!, you should use it to boost low end, not mids and highs (tone knob past the half)
