What are your thoughts on these two pedals? I haven't tried either one of them.
 
Oh yeah..... I forgot to mention that I'll be pushing a JCM 800 2203, a Fargen Olde 800 (2204 copy) and a CAA OD100 Classic Plus. I already have an OCD, BB Preamp, a Mojo Hand Mule (Way Huge Red Llama clone), Roccaforte Bastard, Skreddy Mayo (Big Muff clone) and a Maxon SD9. I'm just looking for different colors.
 
All I know I tried a stock SD-1 and thought is was a little more weak than the Keeley SD-1. ymmv.
 
Well I really love my Keely SD-1 I have a MIJ SD-1 as well, and both are great, the keely version does have better bypass and there is better noise reduction. The one thing I really prefer the Keely SD-1 over stock is that it sounds a little fatter with the Diode switch you get a few more tone options as well. However I only use it as a clean boost.

I am boosting a 2203 with an OD-1, by favourite boost, can't saying anything bad about the OD-1. You can pick them up from eBay all the time.

How do you like the Skreddy Mayo and Maxon SD9? I used to have an Ibanez SD-9, nice pedal. Looking for a big muff style fuzz right now.

Like what was already said, I would look at a Timmy. The SD-1 will be close to what you already have. A Hermida Zendrive would be cool too....

The SD9 is pretty cool. It's a little on the smooth side with lower tone knob settings, but gets kind of clanky sounding with higher tone settings. It's real good for smoother leads, but not so well for rhythms.

I like the Skreddy a whole lot. It sounds like a really great Big Muff. You can scoop the mids or make it even sounding. Other than that, it's just a really great sounding Big Muff that isn't noisy.
