BOSS SD-1 Overdrive Pedal C6 Mod - Before and After

Показать описание

In this video we give the BOSS SD-1 C6 Modification a go and compare a stock pedal to a modded one. Removing Capacitor C6 from the circuit is one of the most popular and easiest to perform mods on the SD-1 and is said to give the pedal a more open and air-y tone.

We'd love to hear your comments below. Have you performed the mod yourself? Which do you think is better, the stock pedal or the C6 modded one?

This is the second video in our '100 Seconds with ...' series and we'd love it if you'd hit subscribe to see more of them and also let us know what else you'd like to see in this series. Bit of a hint: this isn't the last you'll see of the dual SD-1s - there'll be a bit more modding A-Bing to come!

Gear:
Pickups - Radioshop PAF Handwound set

Thanks for such a concise video showing not only the demo but the mod all under 2 min! Impossible! Can't wait to try this with mine

I just modded my strings. Dipped them in paraffin wax and then baked them on 350 for like an hour. The difference is very noticeable. Oh yeah I removed some windings too. Way more 3D now

Well that convinced me to either remove C6 or put it on a toggle.

Hello. I bought a Boss SD-1 in 2019 and its circuit came very compact, using microcomponents. I heard that from 2018 Boss made this change in the manufacture of this model. Do you know if the mod works on this one? I've been looking inside and the C6 is easy to access.

I only feel the SD-1 needs to be more 'open' at low volume. the moment I crank up to jam volumes, I think it's perfect stock

Funny was just watching yesterday some SD-1 videos. Cant hear much difference from video. Maybe i'll try this, never modded any pedal. Always can go back to stock, right?
