Description

BOSS’s Legendary Super Overdrive Sound!

The BOSS SD-1 Super Overdrive has been a go-to guitar pedal for players across all genres since its release in 1981. Built around BOSS’s revolutionary asymmetrical clipping circuit, it delivers smooth, natural overdrive with tube-like warmth and responsiveness.

Whether used for a subtle boost or full-bodied drive, the SD-1 enhances clarity and ensures your guitar cuts through the mix with ease.

Versatile Overdrive for Any Setup

Ideal for use with clean and slightly driven amps, the SD-1 provides mild-to-moderate overdrive that works well for everything from classic rock and blues to country and pop. It also tightens high-gain tones and stacks well with boost, overdrive, and distortion pedals, making it a versatile addition to any setup.

Built to Perform

Designed with BOSS’s industry-leading reliability, the SD-1 is housed in a durable stompbox with intuitive controls for drive, tone, and level. Its responsive dynamics allow for expressive playing, letting you shape your overdrive simply by adjusting your guitar’s volume. Backed by a five-year BOSS warranty, this pedal is built to last.
