Cool! I use a SD-1 as well - I want to know, what differences are noticeable with the mod? I've been thinking about getting this done for some time now, but never really came around to it - maybe this knowledge will help me get on top of this! Thanks.

I have Line 6 DM-4 Modeler but I only use the TS808,Chandler Tube Driver,Rat Distortion and MXR Compressor...I use Boss OD-1 for boosting the input through DM-4 and then Fender Twin Reverb...I've compared OD-1 to the TS808 and I know that TS808 is a great OD pedal that everyone loves including myself but after comparison I personally think that OD-1 sounds a little better and has more focused OD sound to my ears with TS808 sounding a little more compressed than OD-1...Actually they're both great pedals and when I use OD-1 to boost TS808 it gives the best OD sound...with the help of OD-1 boost the compressed sound in TS808 was eliminated...the mixture was the crunchy&crisp sound of OD-1 and warm&sweet sound of the TS808...power tubes of the twin reverb completes the delicious sauce and the meal is ready...bon apetite :)))

I have an old DOD 250 preamp/OD that I used in the '70's, but now I use a Bad Bob Booster and a Visual Sounds Route 66 American Overdrive.

I use a an old Ibanez TS-9 Tubescreamer with an IndyGuitarist mod, along with a Boss SD-1 with a mod I did myself, as suggested by Brian Wampler at IndyGuitarist. I also have a modded Boss DS-1, but I'm just using two O.D. pedals on my board at this time.

Re: What OD / Distortion pedal are you using?

Back in the "cheap n' dirty" days when every penny counted (now I've graduated to every nickel counting) my distortion was the Boss DS-1. I scraped together whatever money I could to buy one and it helped me create "my sound" for many years.

Fast forward to about 1996 and I bought a Digitech RP-6 multi-effects unit for distortion. I used the "grunge" setting with gain cranked all the way and a heavy "V" EQ setting for extra crunch. Not a bad sound but I eventually tired of it.

I recently bought a Boss ME-50 multi-effects that includes 11 different distortion models. While I've found the "Rat" sound works well in a mix but I find myself most often falling back on my trusty ol' DS-1 settings. I've come full circle. :)

That's because the DS-1 is much better! :laugh2:
