Re: BOSS SD1 to IBanez ts808 mods?

Rick Erickson	Re: BOSS SD1 to IBanez ts808 mods? I can't imagine doing this to an SD-1. I use both a modded TS5/808 and an SD-1 on stage and find that the SD-1 has a very likable sound, different than a TS-808, actually less "colored" to my ear. With TS5's & 9's readily available and not terribly expensive, especially if you find a used one it doesn't make sense to me to change a perfectly good Boss pedal into something it isn't, unless you just want to prove that it can be done and that you can do it. I have done many projects for that reason alone and can fully understand the enjoyment of completing such an endeavor. Just my $.02. RE
