I mean, some amps sound really good by their self. But most of those are just too much money and even if I had one I would still use the SD-1. One day I will get a few SLO 100s. And rest assure I will be using an SD-1 with those heads.

So yeah I am a pedal guy. One of the funnest recent pedals was my whammy pedal.
SLO 100s? You mean Soldano's right? They're good, seems strange that they don't adorn the backline of more players.

An SD-1 is a sexy pedal for sure, I borrowed one for band session years ago so I know what you mean about the edgy tone 8) You can get real punchy tone with volume/tone rolled up, but It's true amps don't really get that kind of tone nor the same sustain imo (though i've played some very edgy transistor amps :twisted: )

A modded SD-1 is on my list of pedals I'd like in my collection one day, a real classic as far as I'm concerned.

thanks for the feedback, starting to get some real interesting results :)

Yeah, I am talking about the Soldano amps. Wanted one for years. They are just pricy. \

Check out the Keeley modded SD-1. That is what I have and I love it. I think I paid 135 for it but I cant remember.
