Hi everyone. I am using two Sd-1's in my setup. I have a question; is there really a major difference between the taiwan version and the japan version of the Sd-1.I have noticed a major difference between the chorus pedals first hand, is it also valid for the Sd-1's ? Thanks...
I have had both versions and couldn�t hear any difference between a 1984 MIJ and a 2003 MIT, I would liked to confirm that the MIJ was better, but no....
Hi Goran Is the paint on your MIT SD-1 fading to like a patchy light grey over bright yellow, it's hard to describe the effect. It is sort of looks like the pedal is always dirty.
I also have a couple of MIT OD-2's & one of them, is suffering from the same fading effect.
personally speaking, I think the newer MIT SD-1s (at least, the ones made in 2002) sound vastly inferior to a MIJ SD-1 (mine was made ca. 1988). to me, the main difference is the shrillness/harshness of the tone control; the 'tone' knob on my MIJ SD-1 has a much more usable/musical-sounding range.
