Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive 40th Anniversary Limited Edition

The Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive 40th Anniversary Limited Edition celebrates the legacy of one of the most innovative overdrive pedals ever. Sporting a sleek black colour scheme, this pedal’s new look provides a unique aesthetic for this iconic circuit. The recognisable yellow/black colour combo has simply been reversed for this limited edition version. The SD-1’s legendary status is more than warranted based on 40 years of peerless performance, this pedal is the perfect way to honour its heritage.

Easily one of the most unique overdrive pedals on the market right now thanks to one clever feature- asymmetric clipping. Most overdrive pedals clip symmetrically giving a slightly thinner sound, that’s because asymmetrical clipping creates more harmonic overtones. This gives a richer, thicker sound, overall. This helps create the iconic driven tones the SD-1 is known for, and now with new dark visuals, you can celebrate its anniversary in style.

Asymmetric brilliance

Full of character. The Boss SD-1 has been a mainstay on many pedalboards since its introduction in 1981. This is thanks to its unique sound and versatile range of overdriven tones. If you want a pedal with character to give you an extra lift and pleasantly colour your sound regardless of gain setting, there aren’t many better pedals out there than the SD-1. The patented asymmetric clipping design adds a brilliance to your tone perfect for big, crunchy open chord rhythm work, and soaring intricate lead runs alike. The SD-1 will thicken up single-coil tones or enrich the harmonic content of humbuckers, it will excel with whatever you throw at it. For this reason, it also pairs superbly with it’s distortion counterpart, the DS-1; together they form a formidable partnership because the respective tones compliment each other so well. If you need that extra kick from your playing, the SD-1 will work wonders for your tone.
