Another great option.
I think I might grab an SD-1 and a Caline CP-81 to complete my 80s pedalboard.
Edit:
BTW, my amp doesn't need it, it has plenty of tight gain being modified by me to my taste, but boosts and eqs are always useful.

SD-1 is my personal #1 for boosts (right now, anyway, LOL). Highly recommended.

+1. I’ve used mine as an OD. Just sculpt to preference.

The SD-1 is definitely my favorite boost pedal for a tight Metal sound. More focused than a TS, which always sounds a litte bit dull and soft to me. SD-1 has more bite.

my klone i just got is bad news for all my other boosts, i dont see myself using them much now with this thing, its like a magic box. i now can maybe understand a little guys paying some absurd amounts for real ones, certainly not $4k or whatever the going rate is these days, but i could see coughing up some cash.

the dude griff10672 at RT builds pedals and did a batch, "I have a stash of NOS Germanium diodes that are measuring up to the optimal forward voltage for Klons ...I use all high quality components ( WIMA , Nichicon , Kemet etc )" was the description. i was using a MXR fat sugar that i really like which is a klone of sorts so i gave it a shot and im glad i did, its pretty similar in tone to the fat sugar but just gives every amp that addicting almost iic+'ish kind of bounce that just makes all the difference. i think he said he had a few left for $150, if youre in the market for a klone id say hit him up over there

Why not?
Dude’s boost their dicks.
Might as well boost everything.
