Frequently Asked Questions
The SD-1 is a more traditional overdrive; the HRM V2 offers significantly more gain and a different overall character—it's a distortion pedal first, overdrive second.
Absolutely. The added EQ controls provide much greater tonal sculpting capabilities, allowing for a wider range of usable sounds and preventing harshness.
While it *can* be dialed back, it's really designed for higher gain sounds. It's not the best choice if you’re primarily seeking a subtle overdrive.
