Mongillo is a gem. SD-1 Bumblebee like a mufug

[JT]

My first SD1. @Mongillo19 sent it out with a quickness. KILLER sounding but also a perfect match for the Bumblebee Strat

I do find the waza variant to be quieter and the "modded" mode does add a little more chunk. Is it $100+ better....nah, but if you can find a cheap one maybe give it a look!

SD1s are awesome, I’ve always loved them.

There was a long time when my board always had a SD1 and DS1 as my drive section because I could find them for $20 used and mod them to sound however I needed

I often use the SD-1 more so than a TS

SD1 with the drive up slightly, tone at 1:00 and volume maxed into a Marshall with the gain backed off just slightly is heaven. Bought mine at GC used for $35. Also really dig the Maxon 808 into Dual Rec. Congrats. Drive pedal rabbit hole and pretty much always come back to those two.

Love me an SD1!

A great variant/updated version to try is the MXR "Custom Badass Modified OD." Silly name, but it's basically an SD1 with a 100HZ control and a "Bump" alt EQ shift option. Been my main OD for almost ten years (have now switched to FM9 SD1).

For sure. I actually never use a TS, always an SD1 for a mid-heay type boost.

With the so many many OD variants and Booteek OD/Distortion/Modulation pedals I often find that the good old classics (Boss, MXR EHX) work perfectly fine

That’s awesome. Great on Mongilla on being a good guy.

SD1 (back when I had pedals) was always a solid and fun pedal. It’s not as sexy and doesn’t have the mythology or whatever of some pedals out there - but what it does - it does well!

Part of the reason I love the SD-1 is precisely because it's "not sexy". Honestly, Boss (and Diamond) pedals are probably my favourite looking because of the clean designs. It isn't trying too hard to be cool or interesting, it's just quietly confident. I'm clearly overthinking it, but that's just how my brain works.

haha - no overthinking. I totally get it. Not all of us want a wild and loud ‘pu$$y melter’ on our pedalboards…. LMAO.

Well one can now have it on FAS

Added “OD-One Overdrive” Drive model based on a Boss OD-1.

SD1 is an all time fave. Could not help myself on one of these last year:

Boss SD-1-4A 40th Anniversary Super Overdrive Pedal

Overdrive Guitar Effects Pedal

I believe that one's different, actually. The SD-1 on FAS stuff is just called 'Super OD'.
