A faithful NAM capture of the Boss SD-1 Super OverDrive — the iconic yellow overdrive pedal known for its smooth clipping, focused midrange, touch-sensitive response, and ability to push an amp into tighter, more saturated territory.
Captured dry (no amp or cabinet), this pack focuses entirely on the character of the SD-1 itself, giving you the flexibility to run these captures into your favorite amp model, NAM amp capture, or real amplifier.

🎶 INCLUDED TONES
This pack includes 4 captures, taking the SD-1 from a subtle boost to fully pushed, compressed overdrive.
- BOOST
A touch of grit with added level and midrange focus — ideal for pushing a clean or crunch amp, tightening the response, and adding extra definition.
- CLASSIC
The classic SD-1 sweet spot — smooth, mid-focused overdrive with natural compression and a dynamic, touch-responsive feel.
- HOT
Pushed further for increased saturation, sustain, and harmonic richness — great for thicker rhythm tones and expressive lead playing.
- MAX
The SD-1 pushed to its highest-gain territory — maximum overdrive and compression while retaining the pedal's signature focused mids and smooth clipping character.
---
These are pedal-only captures, with no amplifier or cabinet baked into the tone.
Run them into your favorite clean or crunch amp model, NAM amp capture, or real amplifier to build a complete signal chain. The SD-1 also works especially well in front of high-gain amps, where its focused midrange and tighter low-end can add attack, definition, and saturation to heavy rhythm tones.
Trained using the standard NAM sweep signal for maximum accuracy.
ENJOY! 🎸
