update on my thread after 5 yrs, recently purchased a bnew sd-1 again and moded it to tubescreamer tone and
it sounded like 98% ts808, for the record this are the changes made

c4 ->0.022uf (223)
c5 ->0.1uf (104)
c6 ->0.0562uf (562)

diodes are stock(nice grit when driven hard than making it asymetrical so keep it that way)
try it to your sd-1

bro, to make it more 'open sounding' remove C6 capacitor...

Ako lang yata ang sd-1 user na gusto yung pedal as stock e hehehe.

2 tayo sir.
mas type ko sya pag stock
mahinhing mejo naughty.
haha

Trying to remove c6 just makes the sound microphic in my opinion. Using sd1 stock is best for high end guitars like fender US strat, but for mediocre to lowend guitar brands, modding this pedal could compensate

Here's what I did with my SD-1
C2 = 0.047uF metal film cap
C6 = remove
C7,C10 = 1uF metal film cap
C8 = 0.1uF metal film cap
R2 = 620Kohms

took out 1 clipping diode to make it symmetrical clipping
c2=(183k) change to 223k(TS specs)
