Key Features
Product Ref: 313302
One of the defining features of the Super Overdrive is its unique asymmetrical clipping circuit. Originally derived from the Boss OD-1, the SD-1 took things a step further with tweaked components for a more natural, tube-like response to your playing dynamics, making it feel and sound like you're driving a real valve amp. The result is a rich, warm, and highly musical drive that can be easily tailored to suit your desired level of grit.
The Super Overdrive Pedal has been an integral part of the Boss line-up since its inception in 1981. First introduced as a compact overdrive box, it put the sound of a tube amp's saturated overdrive at your feet. It quickly gained popularity and became iconic for its rich drive character, especially when employed by blues guitarists who loved to kick their tube combos into crunchier territory. Fast-forward to today and it's not only a staple for guitarists the world over but has spawned a legacy of similar pedals that can be found throughout many of Boss' ranges.
Overdrives are an integral part of any guitarist's rig, and the Boss Super Overdrive has been a catalyst for tone in many ways. It's perhaps the most recognisable of all Boss pedals and has remained largely unchanged since its launch. The fact that it's still found on pedalboards worldwide is a testament to just how great this drive sounds, no matter what guitar or amp you're using.
