Even the almighty Eddie Van Halen had a BOSS SD-1 in his pedal board in the 90s, presumably used as a boost to give his Peavey amps a kick. I know that it is trendy to bash BOSS pedals and that some guitarists only use expansive boutique pedals nowadays but I find this is a bit of an extreme position.

Now being on a budget and doing a lot of research on the many overdrive pedals that are out there, I decided the best thing for me was to buy a Boss SD-1 (which you can get pretty cheap) and mod it. There are quite a few mods out there that if not... The problem I have with the 808 or TS-9, is that it gets muddied down when you really crank it.

In playing around with a few real 808′s, I thought that this pedal with the mod actually sounded better and was more versatile....
The lead tone on the solo at the end of Locomotion sounds like a phase pedal to me. he also uses a wah pedal often, and "women tone" (which is when you roll back the guitars tone all the way, or most of the way, down, usually on the neck pickup)...
i also have a tr-2, big muff, 15w crate amp, and a sg special that im thinking about pawning along with this pedal for a tube amp. should i do it?
I have a Pro Co Rat2 Distortion Pedal and I want to get an even HEAVIER overdrive (maybe that of Radiohead such as songs like Bodysnatchers, The Bends, etc). What I mean by "Radiohead distortion" is the overdrive "whine" I suppose.
