No, that’s not a typo. This second pedal shares the exact same name as the PSK clone of the BOSS SD-1, and actually pulls off the clone deal a little better. The enclosure is the same color as the original BOSS unit -- gold -- but it was made in Korea, not Japan. Honestly, I’d say this was a solid 9.5 on the shameless clone-o-meter, if it weren’t for one thing: I don't know what company made this. There's no name on the pedal. No owner’s manual. Nothing. So, maybe they were slightly ashamed that they cloned a BOSS pedal? I really don’t know. Protect your investment. Register your product and stay up-to-date with the latest warranty information. Facebook Photo 15 (left): Connect a 3" wire from the new tone pot to hole 7 on your TS9’s circuit board. Photo 16 (right): Solder one leg of the .22 µF cap to lug 1 of the tone pot, then attach a 3" wire to the other leg. The Boss SD-1 is a very good sounding overdrive, economically priced and is one of the most famous tubescreamer type circuits available. Many boutique pedal builders have used this type of circuitry to 'design' their own pedals complete with new fancy paint job and the assumption that their version is better. While it does perform exceptionally well on it's own, we can do different changes to make it better, even making it into something that would rival some of the best boutique overdrive pedals available.

Dedicated Tone Knob— Wide-range control allows you to go from a warm, singing overdrive to a bright treble-heavy tone that can easily cut through in a mix. The signal goes into the next opamp stage where it meets the tone control which actually boosts the highs as well as rolls off the highs (as mentioned in the last paragraph). R9 here helps to set the gain along with the tone control itself while C6 rolls off even more highs. I?ve been using lots of boutique pedals but I have returned to basics with this pedal. Drive section sounds great especially on a cleaner / at the edge of breakup set amp, but I don?t necessarily use it for this purpose.

D5: 1n4148, D6: 1n4148 and a LED connected in series allow D4 and or D6 lets to illuminate ? I recently put just an LED in D6 with out a diode and it doesn’t light. Greatly appreciate any suggestions, thank you. BOSS’s colourful stomp boxes are the most recognisable pedal range in existence. For over 40 years, guitarists from bedrooms to stadiums have put their boot down on a BOSS effect to transform their sound. Several models have passed into guitar legend and early examples can fetch extremely high prices. Happily, BOSS have maintained their stellar reputation for world-class effects in bomb-proof casing with their current range and have fended off the imitators for decades to remain the pre-eminent single pedal effects manufacturer in the business. If there’s an effect for guitar (or bass, vocals, keys…be creative!) then you can bet BOSS have a pedal of it in their range or even invented it outright! Every guitar player should get to experience the joy of selecting a pedal from BOSS’s exhaustive roster, plugging it in and unleashing their wildest sonic dreams. In any case, POS made some really interesting copies of the SoundTanks. This is a copy of the SoundTank CM-5 Classic Metal pedal, but it's called the POS DT-1 Distortion. It’s a pretty solid option. If you're looking for a cool pedal that's kind of like another pedal, but also unashamedly the same as another other pedal, then reach for the brand known as Piece of ShameThis is a (pretty solid) clone of the Version 1 or Triangle Big Muff pedal. You’ve got the same exact enclosure shape, and it copies the original in almost every other aspect. To completely throw subtlety out the window, there’s another version of this clone that actually says “Big Muff” right on the pedal. You gotta give them props for sheer audacity on that. I mean, if I was rifling through a box of clearance pedals at Guitar Center, and I didn’t look at this one very carefully, I might buy it and not realize my mistake until I got home.
Great Deal
