I thought this would be a digital modeller like many of Boss's recent drives, but at 45mA I guess not (although it's possible, you don't need that much processing power to model clipping I suppose).
The OD-1 is the first pedal I ever bought. Did it predate the Tubescreamer then? I thought they were derived from Maxxon pedals which were around before Ibanez put their name on them.
Yes, it pre-dates the Tube Screamer and I think even the other non-TS Maxon pedals. (OD-1 - 1978; TS-808 - 1979.) Boss patented the asymetric diode-loop clipping circuit, but Ibanez/Maxon got around it by simply making it symetrical . They also added the tone control stage - which Boss then re-copied for the SD-1 (1981.) I'm pretty sure the SD-1 is a TS derivative not an independent evolution of the OD-1 since the circuit is nearly identical.

I would have loved to have seen a reissue of the original ds-1.
