Hey guys,
i use my amp distortion, well i really use 2 channels of distortion and one clean and i'm wondering about the SD-2. i was going to get one just in case something happens with the amp so at least i'll have the same dist options: clean/OD1/OD2 but what is this pedal like? i'm lookin for a smooth OD2 and a nice not too middy OD1. is this pedal all it seems to be or is it a jack of all trades but expert at none? |

I have had SD-2 for over a year and I love it more and more, alongside with BD-2 it�s my favourite OD (I have all Boss OD/dists).
The transparency and dynamics of the crunch channel is remarkably good, from sounding like a booster to strong crunch. It suits single coils and humbuckers perfect.
The lead mode is also transparent but I don�t like it as much as the crunch mode.
Even if it�s rather scarce try find one, even for the crunch mode alone it�s worth it.

cool but by transparent do you mean it doesn't totally saturate the guitar tone even at low gain levels? i like the feeling of the saturated signal even with creamy OD's.
and how much do these babies tend to go for these days? |

By transparent I mean that a Stratocaster sounds like a Stratocaster when SD-2 is engaged, the tone/signature sound of the guitar is not destroyed by the OD. Most OD�s tend to color the guitars own sound more or less.

From about �25,- up to �45,- cheaper with a bit of luck, more expensive if you get one with an extra remoteswitch ----heh Bossarea, remember that one!!!???---- |
