BOSSSd-1W Waza Craft Custom Super Overdrive Pedal

This new, Waza Craft, in other words; Made In Japan Super Overdrive (as were the OG BOSS pedals), is superb!I have a fair few overdrives, and although the Waza Blues Driver (BD-2w) is probably my favorite for lead boosting as an overdrive, this one isn't far behind, and is arguably the better 'always on' pedal of the two, especially for Hard Rock / Heavy Metal tones! That's probably a biased statement, as that's the genre of music I prefer, but stack the two together and you've got something quite special!Harmonics just seem to jump out with this pedal on, and I find myself having a very handy 'Van Halen-esque' tone constantly and easily - great for lead and rhythm.Simple, foolproof layout and knob options, typical bombproof BOSS build quality, low current draw (15mA for all you pedalboard builders out there!), comes with a 9V battery as well. The switch in the middle changes the character of the drive from the old, standard SD-1 (but with improved circuitry) to a more modern take - both are great, but I personally REALLY like the Custom option!Nothing to dislike here, superb pedal at a more than fair price.

Just quality overdrive without the pedal inflicting its own characteristics. Waza mode another level

Without being overly complex, it can deliver a great driven sound and cleans up real nice too, bargain

Sounds amazing

Ok pedal, I’ve put it on eBay ;)
