PRELOVED BOSS SD-1-B50A 50th Anniversary Super OverDrive
Overview
The BOSS SD-1-B50A 50th Anniversary Super OverDrive takes one of the most loved overdrive pedals ever made and gives it a special limited-edition finish to celebrate 50 years of BOSS.
Based on the classic SD-1 Super OverDrive, this pedal delivers smooth, musical drive with that familiar focused midrange and tight low end. It is perfect as a main overdrive into a clean amp, a push for an already driven amp, or a boost to tighten up heavier gain tones.
This 50th Anniversary version features collectible styling, including a bold metallic finish, gold-capped knobs, silver battery-compartment thumb screw, commemorative 50th Anniversary emblem and unique serial numbering.

Why Players Like It
The SD-1 is a classic because it just works. It adds drive without getting flabby, gives solos extra focus, and helps rhythm parts sit neatly in a mix. Set low, it is a great boost. Turn the drive up and it becomes a smooth, expressive overdrive with plenty of character.
This 50th Anniversary version keeps the same trusted sound, but adds collectible BOSS styling for players who want something a little more special on the board.
