the "stacked" mod is just soldering another JRC4558 on top of the one already in it...... you could do that yourself with a JRC4558 from radio shack.... even at radio shack the op-amp is only going to be a dollar at most. i have dozens of them lying around here.

Cool. I'll have to look into that, but since have had a change of heart, I'm gonna get the EH German OD, and leave the SD-1 stock. :sweet:

I prefer the pedals that straddle the line: The Boss BD-2 Blues Driver is my current favorite for it's transparency. I use it to add to the grit of my amp.

But for years it was overdrive pedals.

Re: What is you favorite style of dirt pedal?

I find the poll categories kind of strange. They don't really make any sense, except for fuzz, and the examples in the "Distortion" category don't really sound alike.

I'd use these categories:

1) Fuzz
2) TS Style (TS, Timmy, SD-1)
3) Rat Style (Rat, OCD, DS-1)
4) BMP Style
5) Cascaded Gain Stage
