Limited 50th Anniversary overdrive effect pedal with asymmetrical clipping
The Boss SD-1 Super Overdrive has been part of the Japanese effects manufacturer's permanent line-up since 1981 and has helped shape countless legendary guitar sounds ever since. The analogue circuit with its characteristic asymmetrical clipping can be precisely adjusted using the familiar control layout for drive, Tone and Level, while the typical compact pedal format fits into any Pedalboard.

Limited edition on the occasion of the Boss 50th anniversary
The analogue circuit of the 50th Anniversary SD-1 Super Overdrive generates distortion through asymmetrical clipping, whose harmonic overtones are clearly reminiscent of an overdriven tube amplifier. Located in the medium gain range, the Boss Super Drive feels most at home in front of a clean or crunchy amp, where it delivers creamy Blues and rock sounds. The Boss SD-1 is also ideal for stacking with other boosters or overdrives.
