Very good video. I've used a BOSS SD-1 to boost CH2 on my Diezel Herbert Mk2 for years, and I don't know why I'd look for anything else, it is a perfect tool, the BOSS SD-1 is priceless!
OD-1 is the clear winner to me: most open, dynamic (least compressed) and gritty in a good way. The bass cut/upper-mid boost was for a reason. They were conceived for boosting/punching leads through a band mix.
Very Cool, Thankyou. So many awesome sounds. I have a Boss BD-2 and Boss DS-1, they work well together giving a wide range of Drive tones, but I really want an SD-1 ...... just because, lol. Cheers
I LOVE these 4 pedals. But I was surprised how GOOD the OD1 sounds. I have never tried that pedal and I own a TS9. Yes the TSs sounds a bit more compressed but you can't deny that midrange increase that helps cut through the mix. The OD and SD on the other hand is not compressed as much as the TS but they sound clear and fat. I would love to have any of these 4 on my pedalboard. They all just sounds so good! That being said, I enjoy the clean sound the most here! It sounds so clear and crystalline clean. I felt the urge to play some Ventures records hehehehe.....
I've been using a TS-9 for long while now. I have a love and hate relationship with the compression over the decades especially when I use humbuckers. I think the tone control ramps up the treble at around 3 o'clock.
I've been messing with my single rectifier series 2 lately. The clean tone is awesome really. The gain channels aren't what I want. Bought a boss ds1 awhile back as a boost but not very happy with it. Thinking of getting a boss od1 or a Ibanez ts9. Any recommendations for a single rectifier, anyone? Using a Mesa 2x12 horizontal cab btw. Also have a dsl20 head with a Marshall mx2x12 vertical cab.
Hej! BOSS låter absolut bättre än Ibanez. Jag har en SD-1 som är en favorit och nu blir jag ju sugen på att köpa en OD också. Tack för att du gjorde denna video så man kan jämföra. Ha en trevlig helg!
They aren't cheap, but if you want one, go for it! I managed to score a 40th Anniversary boxed set with the OD-1, SP-1 and PH-1, I was very lucky. Might get an original one day, once I start running out of Boss pedals to collect 😂.
