The Suhr Koko Boost is on my radar as well. I like the idea of boosting a particular mid-frequency.Really considering picking up an SD-1W, but have been pondering on getting Suhr Koko Boost as well.

Marshall/British flavors, but the mid-bump button makes it really versatile.I must try one of these. What amps does it work well with in general?
I also have an On Floor Audio modded SD-1 as well as one of his boosts. They’re both great!So many are takes on it..you could probably throw cusak screamer in that hat as well. I have an on floor audio boost which is his take on an SD1 refined but not sure he makes em anymore. To be honest, stock SD-1 is just that sound when I want it. Making it more polite takes away from its strengths.
Interested in this topic as well, I have gone back on forth on if the Waza version of the SD-1 is worth the upgrade vs the standard version. Is the Lovepedal Eternity more tube screamer than SD-1? What circuit is the Friedman Golden Pearl based on?
I did a shoot-out with my SD-1 vs the Fulldrive II as I am putting a small board together. The SD-1 is going on the board. What it does, it does well. Against the FD-II's various modes and all, the SD-1 was better, for me. This is thru a 2203X.
The FD-II wasn't bad, it was actually very good. The closest the FD-II can to the SD-1 was in "Comp Cut" mode.
I build a SD-1 clone ..... dead on clone ..... but I have unpopulated boards ... so if you know certain mods to one you are after they can be done during building . True bypass also ... no buffer in the circuit .I know there are a lot of boutique-y alternatives to the TS, but how about the SD-1?
Not really boutique, but I really like my MXR Wylde OD as far a tweak on the classic SD-1. Is there anything else?
