Description
Since its release in 1981, the workhorse SD-1 Super Overdrive has been the core gain pedal for generations of players across every musical genre. Based around the revolutionary asymmetrical clipping circuit from the OD-1 Overdrive—one of the three original BOSS compact pedals from 1977—the SD-1 delivers rich, smooth, and highly musical overdrive tones that continue to inspire guitarists everywhere.
Marking the celebration of BOSS’s 50th anniversary, the limited-edition SD-1-B50A Super OverDrive sports a metallic finish; silver thumb screw; gold-capped knobs; and commemorative 50-year anniversary emblem. Appearing in exclusive livery with a dedicated 4-digit serial number and bespoke packaging, the SD-1-B50A features the same beloved circuitry as the standard production SD-1 Super OverDrive. This collectible version is available in strictly limited numbers of no more than 7,000 units worldwide.
