My Boss SD-1 arrived two days ago and I finally got some time to use it for more than 5 minutes.
I really like it, it is more aggressive than the Ibanez TS808 mini, but I like both pedals.
I am not sure if the Boss SD-1 will replace the TS808 or if I will just use both for different things.
I do tend to like more gain, so the SD-1 will probably be my choice if I keep one boost in front of the amp, but it is too early to tell.
I used my 2024 Gibson Les Paul Standard 50s for the video, it has Burstbucker 1&2 pickups which are not super hot, so it should be a good demo for guys with single coils or humbuckers.
I used my Friedman Little Sister combo amp, it has the least amount of gain of all of my 4 Friedmans, but it still has a decent amount of gain.
I did edge of breakup tones to high gain tones and varied the settings on the pedal, that is why the video took 20 minutes.
I did a one minute short for those of us with short attention spans, lol.
Here are the vids...
