Boss SD-1W

(2) Guitar Effect / HN160056

Description of product

The BOSS Super Overdrive SD-1W from the Waza Craft edition is an extended version of the well-known SD-1 overdrive effect. The pedal effect in a new coat, which was perfected by experienced Japanese experts, respects the musical development and offers wider sound possibilities compared to the original models.

The box with purely analog circuitry authentically captures the juicy overdrive of the SD-1 Super Overdrive pedal's amped-up tube amps (in Standard mode), while in Custom mode the gain and sonic palette match those of more modern overdrive effects. The box also boasts greater dynamic sensitivity compared to its predecessor, so it will please all skilled players with decent technique looking for a successful simulation of tube sound.

The Super Overdrive SD-1W, like all pedals in current Boss production, operates in Buffered Bypass mode. It is powered by a 9V battery or 9V adapter (adapter not included).

The letter W at the end of the pedal name refers to the name of the edition - Waza Craft. It is a special series of effects that were developed under the strictest supervision of the most experienced sound experts of the entire Boss company in Japan. The term Waza means "art and technique" in Japanese. Simply a mastery that can only be gained through years of hard work.
