Boss MIJ SD-1 Super Overdrive Pedal w/Monte Allums Mod - Used

Product Description

Used – Excellent Condition

The Boss SD-1 Super OverDrive is one of the most iconic overdrive pedals ever produced, prized for its smooth clipping, ability to push a valve amplifier into singing overdrive. This Made in Japan example has been further enhanced with a Monte Allums modification, making it an even more desirable pedal for players seeking improved clarity, dynamics, and tonal refinement.

The Monte Allums mod is renowned for opening up the SD-1's frequency response, reducing harshness, increasing touch sensitivity, and improving note definition while retaining the pedal's classic character. The result is a more transparent, dynamic overdrive that excels as a standalone drive, clean boost, or amp-pushing pedal.

Whether you're chasing blues, classic rock, country, fusion, or modern edge-of-breakup tones, this modified SD-1 delivers the familiar Boss reliability with boutique-inspired performance.

Rear plate has been flipped to accomodate velcro
