Item arrived quickly, well-packaged, and in great condition -- exactly as described. Seller pinged me while it was en route to make sure I didn't try to use the japanese 100volt adapter directly on american 120v AC, which I appreciated. Very happy with the transaction all around, would not hesitate to buy from them again in the future!

Outstanding on all counts! The item was very well packaged and shipping was prompt. The item matched the online description and was in excellent working order. I definitely recommend services at this buying venue. If I need gear, I’ll be back! (This is where one inserts more words to fulfill the the “minimum quantity required “ by eBay. This discourages buyers from leaving feedback, so you may wish to reconsider this ebay)

Classic Affordable Overdrive Pedal
The main difference in a Tube Screamer and the Boss SD-1 is the type of clipping. SD-1 utilizes asymmetrical clipping, and a Tube Screamer uses symmetrical clipping. They both have a mid-hump as for as the EQ curve. You can use them both as boosts into other pedals or amps. As straight up overdrives, the Tube Screamer often sounds like a layer of dirty and a layer of clean, where as with the SD-1, you get the single layer of dirty because of the circuit's clipping type. Either are great. Some prefer one over the other. I have both the TS and the Boss. Either work great with many configurations, and in some cases you might prefer one to the other with a particular setup. I have more than one tube amp, and I have a variety of pedals that I use on this one or that one.The main difference in a Tube Screamer and the Boss SD-1 is the type of clipping.

A nice little tool
While it's not quite an Ibanez Tube Screamer the two of them in series with a Boss EQ going out makes some magical tones! Con's, I see none thus far. Pro's, it definitely cuts the cake!

SD-1...Still the one
I've played just about every type of OD/Distortion circuit out there. For the money, and even regardless of price, the Boss SD-1 is still the pedal to own if you want to play lead guitar with some sustain and overdrive. As far as I know, they haven't changed the circuit in 35 years. And for about 50 clams, it's the OD to have if you're going to have one on your board. I've been playing strats for 45 years. I used to be a "purist", guitar-cable-amp. Now, this is my go-to pedal after many years of trying to coax and tweak a smooth overdrive tone out of the various tube amps I've owned and played. Want to just play and enjoy your tone? Buy a Boss SD-1 and stomp on it!I've played just about every type of OD/Distortion circuit out there.

Great value
I've been playing electric guitar for around seven years and am kind of a tone snob. I use this pedal to boost a fuzz pedal and it works great; it helps to fill in some of the mids on my fender amp. The od tones aren't too shabby either. This pedal is also cheap (about 1/2 the price of a tube screamer which is essentially the same pedal), and can't really be beat if you're on a budget.

Exceptional product!
Is this product good value for money? DOUBTLESSLY SO! Was it easy to change the pedal by soldering etc? It was a little tricky at times but if you've ever soldered successfully in your life before then this is completely possible. Above all, the instructions for doing it were really good. Does this actually change the sound of a stock SD-1 and how much different is the sound? This customization changed the sound of the stock pedal into a louder, stronger and very different pedal. I own two and changed one of them. I feel like I have two completely different OD pedals. Thank you for making these kits and for making it so easy to install them!Is this product good value for money? DOUBTLESSLY SO! Was it easy to change the pedal by soldering etc?
