Are vintage pedals better than modern ones? What does "better" even mean?
Let's compare the good old original OD-1 with its successors: the SD-1 and the OD-1X. Did Boss make a mistake discontinuing the OD-1 overdrive?

The SD 1 has been my go to over drive pedal for years. It cuts so well compared to others its basically a tube screamer. Has never let me down in a live setting .
Ibanez made Tubescreamer by improving on the OD-1 circuit, so it is funny little circle ...
@@stanislavmigra exactly everyone credits Ibanez for Boss’ invention
The OD-1X really shines with an amp that’s on the edge of breakup, at live volume. The clarity and note separation is amazing. Into a clean amp it’s a bit sterile IMO. It is an overdrive after all. Really underrated pedal. I love it.
this comment got me to buy one, and sir, you were correct.
The OD-1X is definitely a more transparent overdrive and has a lot more bass and upper treble than the other two. I think if you're going to use a pedal to get all your gain and run the amp clean then the OD-1X is the best choice, but if you want to use the pedal to boost an already overdriven amp then the boosted midrange you get from the OD-1 and SD-1 is a fantastic bonus for helping your lead parts punch through the mix. I use my 1988 OD-1 all the time and for some reason, no matter what amp I run it into, it always seems to work a treat! Even without a tone knob it always sounds awesome
Kris, thank you for such interesting reviews and comparisons!
Boss od 1 and SD1 are the best and most reliable overdive pedals ever. I've used a lot of different overdrive pedals over the past 40 years. No overdive in the world sounds as good as the Boss OD1. I love both pedals; OD1 and SD1 ......
Such a cool videos you make Kris. So knowledgeable and full of tasteful playing.
Dude, thank you so much! 💛
This was the video I've been looking for. Thanks. I love my SD1. But I would love to have this OD1 Tone also.
The contrast of hearing a pedal in a mix was a great idea for this.
OD-1 is a classic and sounded the best to me (in a mix), but I think there are plenty of quality drives out there.
Im sure this move will elevate the value of the older units.
Thanks a lot! It makes so much sense to put gear in a mix. It reveals a lot. Cheers buddy
Very cool and informative video. Thanks!
The sound quality of your channel is amazing. Saludos desde Argentina
Muchas grazias Juan! I really appreciate your words! 🙌
THANKS very much Kris for a very informative vid! very nice playin as well...! : )
Kris - Every time I watch your channel, I'm blown away by your playing! You and that Strat seem really connected! Regarding the OD-1. I recently built a BYOC Kit of an OD-1, it has the 14pin etc... and though I've never played the vintage real thing... I think my build has the crunch & interactive feel that you're getting with your OD-1 in this video. Definitely recommended!
Thanks so much, you’re very kind! 🤗
And congrats, that kit pedal must be a lot of fun to play.
Each newer version seemed to come through the mix better than the original. I really liked the OD-1X.
You are one of my favorite players. I always enjoy hearing you play, regardless of genre.
I'm a huge fan of pretty much anything Boss does.
That means a lot to me, thanks Randy! Boss is awesome. They did so much for us players. They literally shaped the tone of the electric guitar. 🙌
You make that OD-1 sound freakin amazing and I love that reverse headstock strat Kris, but I am a blackguard guy so I really dig your tele.! love your channel
Dude, thanks a lot! I’m really happy with my guitars and consider myself very lucky to own them. Your support means a lot so thanks again! 🙌
I LOVE my Boss OD-1X! bass n treble control, not fizzy or overly digital-sounding, it is my "tube screamer deluxe" bringing a bit sharpness to my jazzy strat neck pup tone after Mad Prof Simble...1X can be used very subtly to slightly brighten the tone , and you have lots of control for bass n treb! I have been avoiding Boss pedals for years but this OD1(X) takes the cake! : )
I really like jazzy thickness of the OD-1X, maybe in a rock band the others stand out better screaming, but with my Mad Prof Simble as a basetone the 1X adds fatness...!!! to find this kinda pedal and by BOSS for 144€s was a surprise to me! K : )
I love the Od1x
I’m using a friendman JJ jr with a little bit of gain and use the pedal to push it over the top and it’s perfect
I love the polished tone
In general MIJ Boss sound smoother , mix very well in the mix, while MIT mat create perception for fuller sound but when in the mix is where you see the problem. In the mix they sound harsh and more unpleasant. MIJ have better harmonics , mix great . OD-1 excels if you need more drive and sustain. Sounds smoother than the SD-1 in those situations. I had a lot of BOSS pedals ... even MIJ some are superior and if you come by one of those they are absolutely untouchable by MIT or any newer versions of BOSS
Great playing and very informative.
Thanks a lot man! 🙏
The OD-1X really sounds almost identical
Had an OD-1 silver screw for years. Great OD but I needed more gain and a tone control, and never the ending journey started...... Krank a plexi with an OD-1 Jake E. lee style for solos (Badlands tone). I rocked a mk. 2 Super bass half stack with the OD-1 and CE-2 for a long time, serious sound ;-)
SD-1 ftw, to my ears was the most "musical" sounding f the three, not that the other two were "bad", just preferred the SD-1 by a comfortable margin.
that old Od1 sounded amazing and for my personal taste was the better 🤗 , also love the sd1 (pretty wild spirit on it ) 😎🤙, and i have an Od1x , pretty interesting overdrive 🙂 , i also think i sounded like an amp (or inspired ) but always wonder like wich one 😲( a High power Fender tweed amp ? a Marshall ? ) what you guys think ? . Great video ! 😃👍
I was going to ask about the OD-3, but he addressed that.
Nice comparison, very good playing too! I just got an OD 1X lol. I have the original OD-1, Used an old SD1 and BD-2 (for many years) and i didn't really expect it to sound like an OD-1. I also think, if Boss made a new pedal that sounds close to the original OD-1, it wouldn't make sense. Ok, i wouldn't go into that argument which pedal sounds "best". The OD-1 is just a beast plugged into a good amp, has that midrange that sounds full (the harmonics is just so good) and "analogy" and feels good playing through, even with different guitars (strat, tele, LP etc..) each has it's own tonal characteristics, as you would never get an SD-1 to sound exactly the same as an OD1, especially the OD-1X lol. Kris really explains (and demoed) each pedal very well, and i must say his playing is exceptional! Knowing Boss as being an "Innovator", they always make and develop new models of pedals, and you always have the choice to choose which one suits your playing, styles, taste etc. In my personal opinion, I'd rahter have 'em all and have the luxury to choose which pedal/s I'd step on 😁. Great video. Cheers!
i like them all! i have all of them just not the OD1X, but I like the sound.
Absolutely ...pedal 1 seems a little compressed I like it better than the other 2...#3 is fairly good..great video as always 2thumbs up.
This is calling for a OD-1 Waza :)
Count me in! 🤟🤤
Love the tone of the OD-1 with the Strat. Beautiful 👍
It’s such a good match, isn’t it? That’s why I sticked to the strat for so many parts in the video. Haha
@@KrisBarocsi ok j hi
The SD-1 has been an overlooked pedal and like many have said its like a Tube Screamer its like it but with more grit and punch!
Overlooked pedal? bahahahaaahaaa, the SD-1 is the best selling pedal Boss has ever made...
THANKS -GOD BLESS YOU!
To my ears, the OD-3 is closest to the frequency response of the OD-1. They scoop out more low mids or upper bass in the SD-1. Thanks for bringing this to us!
I just ordered a GT-1000 core that has the x pedals built in! I’m wondering if they will sound the same to the single pedals?
Great 'n revealing comparison, well done!
The SD-1 does have this slight fuzziness to it ... made me try - and buy - the SD-1w, which does sound less fuzzy and more open (in the waza-setting). Great little box with a hefty price tag ... but worth it.
I was surprised how well the OD-1x did: no fuzziness and can be placed well in the mix by its tone controls!
I wouldn't focus on the naming too much ...
P.S. the SD-1 turned up does make a nice entry level fuzz/hairy-drive ... which i like.
All three are truly great in their own ways. I just wished Boss made a Waza OD-1 too. That’d be absolutely awesome.
@@KrisBarocsi
This would be great ... so lets home for a OD-1w next year ...
Have you been able to test the SD-1w?
Those 3 of them are good, not much different. What if vs BD2 or BD2 waza? which on to go first and second overdrive pedal to get, OD1X, SD1, SD1W, OS2, or the BD2 series first?
And is one overdrive pedal enough or better get two, one yellow and one blue pedal? Thanks.
I must say that the middles of the OD-1 hits me right in the middle of my tinnitus, so it's painfull to me. But the SD1 is really nice. It comes with no surprise as I always have a small green box before my amp.
Nel 1977 Boss mise sul mercato l'OD-1, aveva il quadamp (4 transistor) RAYTHEON RC3403ADB a 14 pin (USA), pochi mesi dopo, sembra per poca disponibilità, lo sostituì con l'identico NEC µPC4741C (Japan) sempre quadamp sempre a 14 pin. ma aveva anche i diodi ad alta velocità Toshiba 1S1588 e transistor 2SC945 e soprattutto erano fatti a mano, anche le schede color marron erano serigrafate a mano. Dopo neanche un anno passarono all'industrializzazione con schede serigrafate a macchina, processo di montaggio automatizzato e componenti commerciali, a partire dal circuito integrato dualamp (2 transistor) 4558 a 8 pin, prima NEC, poi Texas, poi JRC per tre generazioni e poi ancora NEC, poi, nel luglio '85 stop. Il "mitico" OD-1 è solo quello col circuito originale coi circuiti integrati a 14 pin. quello venduto da 700€ a 950€. La serie industriale col 4558, copiata da Maxxon/Ibanez, ma senza il clipping asimmetrico, brevettato da BOSS, altri non è che l' SD-1 senza controllo del tono. Quando realizzi un'alchimia non la devi toccare, poi niente vieta di farci delle modifiche ... ma gli dai un altro nome. Paul.
I own and used Boss Dual Overdrive for ao long, lately i stacked TS9 infront of it.
what speaker cab is he using here..???? Is it going into the captor X and the universal audio OX box,, Which type of cab and speakers are being emulated ???,, Cabs and speakers play a large role in the sound together with the preamp tonestack of the amp,, (Fender like, Vox type, Marshall/bass tonestack etc):.. ???
I really like the OD-1X best: the even EQ! touch sensitivity!sustain! I also love my OD-3..., so the balanced EQ is the thingy for me! I have the Fender Engager Boost, but so far my eq settings on it are pretty flat, so my taste seems to be not mid focused...Im still keeping the EQ pedal cause amps can be different too... I also play Yamaha Pacifica 112Vs, which have about 14 inch radius and non staggered pickups! just sharing info...😎😎
just listened carefully this vid again: Kris comparing the orig OD-1 to OD-1X : can be set kinda close! Dandelion! I was about to sell my OD-1X ( Im keeping My OD-3 and DA-2!) but for its sustain/sensitivity/EQ/drive range its quite a package! and its quiet compared to most other tube screamer types!
Im also aware of the new Boss OD-200, but for Boss lead tones I have the DA-2...
Alls I can say OLE´ Boss! I even liked the Blues Driver but got a cheapo clone to test...
How come the OD-2 is very often overlooked?
It's like the OD-1 put on a blue singlet, the SD-1 has casual elegant clothing and the OD-1x wears a loud hawaiian shirt but still manages to seem classy.
All have their strong moments but the SD-1 is my overall fave.
Of course, Kris can make anything sound good! ;-)
With the level knob just past 12 o'clock, I find the SD1 cuts way too much low end. It's kind of an extreme setting in that sense. It wants to boost quite a bit to sound good IMO
The OD-1 is the best of all. It’s my favorite and I have them all. But some prefer the SD-1 and the TS-9 because of the tone control.
The OD-3 is too much and the OD-1X is a non runner for me.
I completely agree.
The od1x sure sounds a lot like the discontinued boss fbm1 59' bassman pedal. I wonder if that's actually what it is.
Good Good job... Grazie Kris 😀I like the Super Overdrive.
Mille grazie Maurizio! 😊
SD-1 is an amazing value! 59€, sounds even better than tubescreamers I have tried, and is built like a tank.
The OD-1 has so much magic to them. Wish I never sold the one I had years ago.
OD-1 is very good for bass. Although is lacks the lower ocatave. It lowcuts around 50 - 60 Hz.
The OD1 is definitely more compressed than the other two, especially with that TS-like mid hump. The SD1 sounds a lot more "open".
A few things to demystify the OD-1:
- The difference between the OD-1 and the SD-1 lies in the coupling cap before the drive stage (more about that later) and the tone circuit isn’t present. The OD-1 has a low pass filter at 880Hz, which the SD-1 also has but it’s implemented differently. Converting an SD-1 into an OD-1 is trivial.
- The difference between the quad op-amp OD-1 and the dual op-amp OD-1 has a lot more to do with the coupling cap than the op-amp chip. If you like that this particular OD-1 is tighter than the SD-1 you won’t like the original OD-1 as much. It has a full bass response.
- The drive/clipping stage between both versions the OD-1 and the SD-1 is identical. The dual op-amp version of the OD-1 and SD-1 use the same chip. Considering that the clipping arises from diodes in the feedback loop the actual chip used makes less of a difference. What’s left is that the remaining op amps are used for input and output buffers instead of discrete transistors that the vast majority of Boss pedals use. Ideally, either should be sonically transparent. In practice this is more or less the case assuming typical loads.
I love the Analogue ASYMMETRICAL clipping of the SD 1 ( wich for me it makes the Gain structure organic ) , the tube screamer uses Symmetrical clipping . Most pedals use DIGITAL clipping that sounds too "Modern" & Fake for my ears .
Frankly my favourite tone was all of them.
Come on Kriss could plug into anything...and we would buy it.
That is a testament to his playing and demo skills.
Kris,... there are actually two OD-1 circuits... the one with the 14pin opamp and the 8pin ... they are actually quite different... the SD-1 is related to the OD-1 with the 8pin Opamp ... sooo for purpose of comparison we need to know which OD-1 circuit you've got there :-) Analogman can take an 8pin and convert it 14 pin, and change circuit values back to the original schematic .... for more info, contact Analog Mike :-)
Hey Mark, mine is an 8 pin one, as said in the video. I was thinking about contacting Analog Man for the mod, purely out of curiosity. 😅
@@KrisBarocsi Hi Kris,... I built an OD-1 from the pcb at AION Electronics... I used a Raytheon 14 pin opamp with the early schematic, I can tell you it's quite an experience !! The smoothest compression I've ever experienced in an overdrive pedal! It's takes a moment to process what you're hearing. Once you do though it's like .... wow, that's cool !! AION Electronics has the best pedal kits on the planet and a huge library pcb's !!
thanks Geraldine : )
😂😂 And the list just got longer
Even though I don’t mind digital modulation pedals, I’ve always been against digital overdrives and distortions. I have to say, though. I’m done with all these overdrives that shelve off all your bass and only give you a tone control. It’s 2021 - put a proper EQ stack on pedals already.
Just buying the OD-1X back: prefer it to DOD Looking Glass and Mad Prof Sweet Honey: its just the final finesse to my tone...
Right off the bat, from the initial comparison to the band mix comparison, for me it's OD-1 < SD-1 < OD-1X. I am not generally a fan of digital overdrive, but Boss really nailed it with their MDP technology. The OD-1X and BB-1X Bass Driver sound great. The progression from OD-1 to SD-1 to OD-1X is a progression of increasingly higher fidelity, and it's not a small step each time. Of course, I've never liked mid-hump overdrives. What this video did was remind me that I really need to get an OD-1X. :D The BB-1X is on my bass pedalboard, already, along with the BC-1X Bass Comp.
The OD-1X sounds awesome, but so does the SD-1. I prefer the 3 knob layout of the SD-1. And for the price, the SD-1 is a no brainer. I use the SD-1 everyday.
All three pedals would do the job and I'd be happy to play with any of them.
From these samples I really preferred the new one it’s got a… more finished sound it’s difficult to explain but it just sounded a bit fuller range or something.
Yeah that’s true. The OD-1X sounds more… well, produced than the others. A cool pedal for sure!
SD-1 for lead and OD-1x over all💜
Yeah -- SD1 with its mid hump is designed to push a tube amp into singing lead. Works great at its job. OD1x is for modern tones in a range of uses
With excellent guitar player all 3 pedals sounds great :)
Nice video as always Kris. I rely heavily on my SD-1 together with BD-2. I use BD-2 as my 'always on pedal' with medium amount of gain and kick in the SD-1 as a booster when I want more mids and treble plus a little bit more gain.
Thanks a lot! I love that combination. 🙌
@@KrisBarocsi yes, those two are a 'match made in heaven' 😉
Boss discontinuing effects (or "updating" by completely changing the circuit) is really tilting. Why would they discontinue the OC-2 and the FZ-2 when they could just keep it side by side with the newer model, like they do with DD-3 for example.
The price sky rockets on discontinued pedals. It's all marketing. Supply and demand. People want what they can't get.
I’m sure it’s far cheaper to produce digital circuits, plus some of the old components are hard to get as they’re not being produced.
just bought the OD-1X back: I was lucky to get a DA-2 used: GREAT!
theyre both DIGI, but with my analog peds like Mad Prof Simble they (correctly set) just bring DYNAMIC LOVELINESS to the tone!
the LOW n HIGH controls make it soo adjustable, Ive had tube screamer-type pedals, and they just eat up the LOWS first hand!:
I dont want a pedal with an EQ I dont like: I do have my ZOOM G2 wonderfulEQ, and a Fender Engager Boost(very good quick EQ),
but to buy a pedal knowing you have to tweak its EQ is SILLY! ... I do understand this with heavy gain peds...I tame my hi gain setting from the Zoom with a Behringer V-tone amp modeler( or with the EHX Silencer: a great noise gate one the Silencer!)
summa summarum: tube screamers: Ive had Demon, T-Rex Diva, TC El MojoMojo...,
the BOSS OD-1X is a luxury liner! ( its kinda funny that my 4 Boss peds are all Yellowish: 2 OD-3s( my BIG JAZZ ped), the OD-1X(tube scream deluxe) and the DA-2( my Hill Street Blues one..),
funny their colour: theyre really not lightweight, but really thought out ones!
( I used to have the Nobels ODEAR-1 BC for Jazz, but the BOSS OD-3 is soo there: simple and perfect!!😎
I just saw an ad someone selling an amp: Fender Jazz King, omg, and I dont have the money...Ha!
I hope someone (s) design a JAZZ pedal, Ive been thru a whole lotta "Dumble" peds, the Mad Prof Simble is stuck with me!
ETHOS, GLADIO,....I love FET: BOSS OD-3, DOD/Shoe Looking Glass,
a tip for Jazz/warmer tone lovers with a strat: a cheap pedal Dolamo D-8 is VERY nice!😎😎
the OD-1X is soo touch sensitive, and with responsive bass n treb: made for my purposes: betas the heck of the other 2,
Kris: probably wasnt the intention of the vid ,but you sold me the OD-1X all over again, ha ha:
even got a deal 100€s, im more into Jazz n Blues than rock, that says a lot I guess...
I liked them all but I the sd1 sounded best to me.
👍👍👍
The OD1 has the most more attack, the SD1 seems to have the most compressed sound.
I liked the OD1, and liked the X the best. The SD1 didn't do much for me. I am a cellar dwellar most of the time so maybe that is part of it?
glad to hear someone digs the X, its digi but with MY Mad Prof Simble( analog) its really not too harsh or anything!!!AND people have digital reverbs and delays and kinda fool themselves being analogue or tuby ampwise..., I stumbled to the OD1X from a used BossDA , which Ill keep as well...I like sometimes darkish jazzy tones from my strat neck pup, so the X brings slight brightness( and thickness!) to the tone! and my always on pedal is the ZOOM G2 which has digital reverb/echo even in my basic clean tone, so there..., luv K : )
sound difference is huge
The OD-1 sounds noticeably different from the OD-1x
Sd-1 and OG are essentially indistinguishable over CZcams any way. 1x pretty darn close too.
No mistake just raised the value of mine😊
Od1 ❤
Im interested how this OD1 crazy will develop, as I dont found anything special or interesting about its sound. Also I did not like here any of the Boss pedals. Like the SD1 is classic, but to me sound very mediocore and "pedal like".
Probably Im too spoiled by the other great pedals you use normaly ;).
Od1 for sure.
hi kris. I have a question. I saw that there was a small sticker on your Telecaster and on the Stratocaster. are these gifts from your son?
Haha, yeah. He put them on the guitars when he was 3. I love them. Probably because I love him so much. 😅
That's really cute. And very funny because my son did the same thing.
OD-1 is the best BOSS overdrive IMHO...but I like pedals for synths, not guitars.
Problem the SD-1 has is they have too much bass roll off.
“Too much” is subjective. It depends on the amp you are pushing and whether it’s a clean or overdriven sound. Also depends on the overall volume.
@@TheMasonator777 They should made them so you could roll it off but nay they roll it off for you whether you want it or not.
@@Neil-Aspinall Fair enough criticism.
agreed - many do not recognize this - but it becomes obvious when comparing a TS808 - tight but present bass there
The OD-1 kills the newer models.. it retains the headroom and sounds more natural.
Weirdly, the only one I don’t like is the OD-1. It’s too boxy for me, and I don’t like how chords sound. Too jumbled.
You should have brought OD-3 into the picture. Isn't it the successor of OD-1 ?
he literally talked about it first thing in the video.... lol
od-1 has that soft nasal sound, sd-1 sound denser (for lack of a better word), and od-1x sounds modern hifi? that's my general take on it. Dang the description is so subjective and vague
OD-1X should’ve been called OD-3X, as it seems more like that.
Exactly, right? I don’t understand the misleading naming. Cheers
OD3 is the best
Why can nobody in a pedal demo allow a single note to sustain for a little while, so we can actually hear the tone of the distortion? It's always "play as many notes as possible", and "only sustain on that big chord at the end of the wankery...."
Just throw the 1X and the SD in a bag with a big jug of Sangria, put on some Barry White and nine months later, you get an OD1.
Best comment :D :D :D
Od1 is salt sd1 is sugar
I've owned an OD-1 and my opinion is, it sounds like crap - I don't see how anyone would pay big money for this rubbish hyped up pedal.
I also feel using a Strat with single coils via this compressed CZcams App, does nothing to make the pedal do what it is supposed to do therefore,the only true way of finding the tone of a pedal is by a guitar with humbuckers and then if you have to, use a Strat.
