Boss SD-1 Overdrive

I used this pedal in my pedalboard that was built for a live Rock band.

This is honestly one of the worst overdrive pedals I've ever tried, both in terms of sound and in terms of build. The switcher stopped working after maybe 4 or 5 rehearsals and the only fix was to open it up and fiddle with a small rubber piece that holds the switcher in place so that it wouldn't stop the switcher from working. When I got it into the loop of my Octoswitch this stopped being a problem because it was basically always on since it was the Octoswitch that made the actual switching. In terms of sound, this is supposed to sound similar to a Tube Screamer, but it doesn't. It DOES boost your mids, but it filters all the low end in your signal and ruins your tone completely. I eventually switched this pedal for an OCD and the difference is enormous.

Stay away from this pedal unless you have no other option. Even then, I would advise you to consider something else.
