Q: As a boost, does the sd-1 do a good job to tighten things up? for rythm playing especially??

Yes, but it will add some mid range, in a good way tho.

Q: Can this pedal make a clean amp go heavy?

Not SO heavy, if the amp is totally clean it can get it nice and dirty, a littler crunchy. Blues/rock tones. I use it as a boost in front of a high gain head. If you're looking for a real heavy pedal try an OCD or a Maxon OD808.

cord?

As a boost, does the sd-1 do a good job to tighten things up? for rythm playing especially??

I'm kind of confused to the manual: am I supposed to turn on my amp first or turn on this pedal first? What about the order of turning everything off?

Can this pedal make a clean amp go heavy?
