The objective of the Allédyne modification of the Boss SD-1 Super OverDrive is to provide the recording guitarist / musician with a single, affordable, hot-rodded, yet versatile overdrive pedal to set up a tailored guitar sound for backing / rhythm guitar performance and bed tracking. While this pedal mod can certainly be used for soloing and stacking with other pedals, it is clearly designed to remain within the overdrive range. That being said however, turning the knobs up all the way will, without question, rock the house. . . It gets seriously meaty.
**SEE VIDEO BELOW FOR FULL DEMONSTRATION**Circuit modded features include:
- Approx. +2dB more gain
- Extended low frequency response
- Re-voiced tone control
- Symmetrical clipping via LEDs and rectifying diodes (Mode I)
- Asymmetrical clipping via LEDs (mode II)
Aesthetically modded features include:
- Super bright pink LED CHECK indicator
- Level and Drive knobs replaced with clear Davies style
- Custom waterslide decals
The Allédyne modded SD-1 exhibits a wide ranging capability for crafting
all sorts of tube like “break-up” sounds, from punchy bell like Vox / Fender to warm burning Marshall Plexi. . .
The tone control has been re-voiced to allow the response of the pedal to remain
musical even with the knob opened all the way. No more fizzy, thin, or shrill top end.
Two clipping modes work with the Level and Drive settings for honing in on that “just right” sound.
More available gain with an extended low frequency response helps the pedal push a tube amp’s clean channel into an overdriven state by using the Level knob alone (boost configuration).
I take great care in the workmanship, testing, and quality control of all pedal modifications. I fully evaluate and test all stock pedals before installing modifications to verify normal function and performance. I then fully re-evaluate and re-test the pedals, post modifications, to verify expected function and performance. I offer a lifetime warranty on all my work.
