Mike Crouse	Re: Boss Super overdrive SD-1 I just got through performing the tubescreamer bass boost mod suggested by R.G. Keen on my SD-1 and it's done exactly the same way. Get the schematic for the SD-1 and locate the .047uf cap between the 100K and 4.7K resistors at the input to the clipping circuit. Put a .1uf cap in its place and voila', more bass AND gain. I also tried a .2uf cap but it gave it too much gain for my taste and didn't seem to increase the bass any more over the .1uf cap.
