Sounds great, but then everyone else comes in and says something different! Though you have pretty much sold me by saying 80's so many times :lol:

the other good thing about the sd-1 is you can really wind it up if you want and get more modern sounds aswell. With them so simple and cheap, i think every guitar player should definately have one. Never heard of anyone not liking their SD-1

Well me likes cheap so looks like ima gunna have to buy it.

Don't bother with the Marshall BB-2. Bunch of muddy pantsness on the gain setting.

Clean boost is OK if you only need that, but I'd probably go for something better if I were you.

You got something in mind?

Twinfan · « **Reply #50 on:** April 03, 2007, 09:59:40 PM »

Nope - I don't use a clean boost so can't recommend anything decent. Sorry.

Hey Joe,

in all fairness you are right when you say that everyone's coming in with different opinions and options, and each time you think that this one is the one and so on.

I've played and heard almost all the suggestions on this thread, and many others too, and here is the best advice I can offer you:

Get out and try as many as possible.

Some people like one thing, and others like another. And sometimes that flies against the face of what everyone else says.

So get out and try things when possible!

Good advice there, i think my local has 2 or 3 of the pedals mentioned in this thread, though my amp is not there so it will sound completely different :(

also try different types of pedal - not just clones of one type - also try pedals according to the settings you use on your amps as the amp setting often dictates how the pedal will sound.

Can I also check in the Award Session JD10 - buffer, booster, distortion, pre-amp DI box all in one - £80 with postage.
