So I was looking for a clean boost pedal to try with my JCM 800 and made this thread:

viewtopic.php?f=3&t=97373

And Jerry offered to send me the MORE pedal to try out for free, he even paid to ship it to me. I just happened to call out sick today to spend a day at the shore with my family lol and the pedal just happened to come in this morning so I had about 2 hours to mess with it before we went to the beach. I gotta say this thing is pretty awesome. It doesn't really mess with your tone any that I can hear, it seems to push all the frequencies your guitar sends it and makes the whole tone "bigger." The more gain you dial up the more dirt and sustain it adds as well. I found a nice spot around 1 oclock (still pretty clean), but it's usable in pretty much any gain setting depending what you wanna do with it. I feel like this is a pedal to leave on all the time, because it just well gives you a little more. I really really liked it going into the sd-1 set up as a clean boost as well. Lots of sag but the amp still feels open and it keeps the low end the sd-1 sucks away. I pm'd Jerry telling him I never know how much my other boost pedals thind out my tone compared to his. Anyway I'm gonna buy it from him and for the price I don't know how he's not selling a bunch. I haven't had to many boutique pedals to compare but I have owned 2 sd-1's, a maxon od-9, 808, roccaforte crab boost, mxr classic od, a mxr 6 band and 10 band eq I've tried using as boosts, all with marshall based amps. This is cheaper then most of those pedals and the tone is on another level IMO.

So I'm home from the beach and figured I'd sneak in some quick vids to show the pedal, I had to do this quick while my wife is getting ready and we are going out to eat in a bit lol, so I'm not super happy with my playing but here is 4 video's, 1st is straight in the marshall, then with the boss, then the more pedal, then both; each is with some riffs from one of my bands originals, then some sloppy wanking. I used an Iphone 4 and youtube makes the differences more subtle then they actually are in person.






Oh and pardon the pink bathing suite!
 
Nice shorts but I am partial to the rug on the wall behind the drum kit.
 
They all sound good to my ears. What type of speakers in that cab? v30's?

Yeah, rear loaded diezel. I like the sd-1 stock, with no boost the 800 is a little stiff for my sloppy playing. I need some extra grease lol. I usually run the sd-1 at vol 2o'clock and gain 9o'clock. I'm gonna try that with the more pedal at lower setting and maybe record again when I have a sec to do a good take.
 
I got to spend a couple more hours with my new rig today, I only got the Marshall last week, and really found a great tone. I've got the sd-1 gain about 9 volume 1 tone 11 and the more pedal at 9. Sounds killer and responds really nicely. I'm gonna do a better video now when I have a chance to sit down and play something good now that I've got this all dialed in a little better. Also set up like this I'm getting great acdc tones with my guitar volume around 6, 8 is hair metal and full on is a pretty modern marshall tone. I can clean up to a bluesy tone on the bridge and a slightly dirty clean on the neck.
