The Hawkeye Drive, effectslayouts combo drive

[Thewintersoldier]

While working on all these boss pedals I put together an sd-1 and began to ponder every decision I've ever made...why the hell did I use the TS over the sd-1 all these years??? I haven't played an sd-1 since the 90s and I wish I could go back and tell past Chris to get rid of the TS.
       The Hawkeye drive started when I asked @storyboardist why he did have a combo Rat/TS board. like millennials do, he memed my ass and after some good lulz we whipped up a custom drill template and the fun began. The builds were simple enough with low parts counts and I used all generic non mojo parts to prove it sounds exactly the same. OP07 opamp, generic 4148 diodes and 5088 transistors. I have TH jfets but am using smd jfets if the board has the footprint for them. Props to David for always making great layouts that are super flexible tone wise. So how's it sound? It rips. Classic tones, all killer no filler.
     I had the idea of doing a Hawkeye theme and having the SD-1 side as Barton and the Rat side being Ronin but thought about it and decided to change the SD-1 to Bishop and reworked my whole design. My buddy Nick said he likes the 60s Bond look of the silhouette and I knew it was a winner if he approved. Matte violet tayda 1590BB2 and UV print. Don't sleep on the SD-1, the Rat or this combo.

I love this! I should really try an SD-1. I have to say, back in the '90s I used to love running a TS into a Rat through my roommate's silverface Super Reverb. Great musical feedback that I could control easily...thanks for all the memories with these recent Boss builds of yours!

I don't even have to tell you it looks killer, but now you've got me wondering what an sd-1 sounds like

Looking great. I would have had a lot of angst tightening the nut on that toggle switch. Don't want to scratch that beauty!

I really like the sd-1 as well. I built one and a plumes at the same time. Most excellent combo.

Thanks, it's been fun going down memories lane doing these builds, my inner boss fan boi has come back out. You should definitely build an sd-1.

Dude, if you want that old school OD sound just build one, it's not as dark as a TS, would sound great into the Oranges.

Thanks so much, the trick on the switch nuts is to just hand tighten them, the pot nuts hold the board down anyways. Or use painters tape and remove it after you tighten.  Switch nut washers so soooo ugly 🤢🤮

Looks awesome, Chris!     I too am about to waste the rest of the day listening too SD-1 demos

Thanks John, the SD-1 is the younger brother of the TS that is a little more edgy lol. It's a fun pedal that's a blast to play and doesn't have a bad sound.

This build came out great!  Excellent work.

I thought the SD1 was just  a TS with led asymmetrical clipping. Is that not the case?

It's essentially the same circuit, but the asymmetrical clipping and value changes make for a more enjoyable pedal to me. it's not as dull sounding and I like that added brightness. it has more gain on tap and to my ears more volume. It's not drastically different but I like this version better, and I hate smooth symmetrical clipping.
