Using a Boss SD-1 as a boost for my Soldano Astro 20 - 4 videos

Klones are amazing enough for sure man, no reason to go with the real deal. But they are not like the SD1, you need to know how to tweak them, but the result is worth imho

I will look in to them

I run a klone and an sd1. The best of both worlds.

If you had to pick one?

I tried to buy all high gain amps so that i would not need any boost pedals and sure, they don't need a boost pedal, but a boost pedal just makes it even better.

I have 3 great tube amps:

Soldano SLO-30 6L6s
Soldano Astro 20 6V6s
Victory MKX EL34s

My Overdrive of choice is the tried and true Boss SD-1 using a 9v battery for power.

I have the level of the SD-1 all the way up, the drive all the way down, and the tone at about 11 o'clock.

I did 4 videos, two comparing the SD-1 on and off and the other two with the SD-1 on the whole time.

One is a Rock backing track and the other is a Spacy type of track.

When I get a chance I will try to do some videos using my other amps also.

I will say the Soldano Astro 20 is my favorite amp, it just sounds great with any guitar.

Let me know what you all think.

Here are the videos:

Good stuff Howie and yeah ODs make any amp sound better even amps with a shit ton of gain already.....


Cheers and all the best *_*

I figured with my high gain amps the SD-1 would not be needed, I was wrong
