Pedalpcb Uber Drive

Another Pedalpcb Uber Drive. The SD-1 is just my favorite overdrive to boost a Marshall. Nothing special or fancy in the build. No mods, just the @szukalski relay bypass because it rules.

Artwork in my Oscar the Grouch trashcan series vibe. Grown up graphics made it easy to focus on the build. No film on bare enclosure. Just the perfect pedal for me. You should build one if you haven't.

I've been playing (with) guitar(s) since the '80s, and I've never played an SD-1. I guess I'll put an Uber in my cart.

Thumbs up to the straight box caps; they're satisfying to see.

If you play humbuckers into a dirty amp, the sd-1 is the GOAT. And it's not hard to keep straight caps, no excuses

I'm all single-coil, all the time. And Fender amps.

P90s are the closest I tread to humbuckers, though I keep hearing the siren call of FilterTrons trying to get some of my cash.

I’ve been using one of those small Boss “middle” knobs for tone control, but using that skirtless one looks way better.

Even as someone who doesn’t normally use YATS, I gotta give it up- the SD-1 is YATS perfected.

Clean as usual. You got me, really looking forward to finally trying the SD-1(kinda).

Looks great!

I did the "5 star GE" mod to a boss SD-1, may need to get an UberDrive and tinker with it some more!

That's not how you spell "Red Snapper".

YATSes are some of my favorite circuits, although the original has never done much for me.

I'm definitely getting an Uber Drive now. I didn't realize it had that topology.

I liked the idea of the Red Snapper more than the experience of playing it- I think it has clever tone controls. Anytime someone brings up a pedal like this, I usually revisit it and sometimes I have a new take on it.

I know what you mean. Not with that pedal in particular, but some others that seemed like they should be really cool and just weren't.

That said, context is everything with overdrives. Pickups, amp, what party favors have been ingested, etc. I suppose a TS808 might even sound good if the planets lined up.
