Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Compact overdrive with an asymmetric clipping voice and a dedicated Tone control. For players who want a mild-to-medium dirt pedal or an amp boost.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Pushing an already-driven tube amp into thicker saturation
- Adding grit to clean amps without losing pick attack
- Small boards where a 2.9 inch footprint matters
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players wanting high-gain distortion on a clean amp
- Anyone needing a footswitchable second channel or presets
- Players who want the pedal to stay transparent and uncolored
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
9V DC power
Standard pedalboard voltage. Any regulated 9V center-negative supply on your board will run it.
Detail 03
Power supply not included
Budget for an adapter or a daisy chain output. Buying the pedal alone gets you no way to power it.
Detail 04
2.9 x 5.1 x 2.3 inch chassis
The standard compact pedal footprint. Predictable spacing on any pedalboard, and it fits most patch-cable layouts.
Detail 05
1/4 inch in and out
Mono instrument level only. It goes in front of an amp or in a standard pedal chain, not a balanced line input.
Detail 06
1.2 lb weight
Heavy enough that it stays put on carpet or a bare floor without hook-and-loop tape.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No power supply in the box. Add a 9V DC adapter or daisy chain.
- 02One overdrive voice only. There is no clean or bypass-level boost mode.
- 03Tone control is a single treble tilt, not a full EQ section.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does the SD-1 come with a power supply?
No. You need a 9V DC supply, sold separately, or run it from a pedalboard power brick.
02Can I use it as a clean boost?
Drive does not go fully clean, but set low with Level high you get a pushed, lightly broken-up boost into the amp.
03What do the three knobs do?
Level sets output volume, Drive sets how much overdrive, and Tone tilts the treble brighter or darker.
04Will it fit on a small pedalboard?
Yes. At 2.9 inches wide and 5.1 inches deep it uses the standard compact pedal footprint.
