The redesign is the same as for the DS-1 and BD-2 (and possibly others, I'm not sure) - the original large PCB which fills the whole pedal and has traditional through-hole components, has been replaced with a smaller one with surface-mount parts. While not necessarily inherently worse, this does make the new one a lot harder to repair or modify, although not impossible if you have the right tools. What I'm not sure of is whether they've fixed the bypass bleed issue at the same time - I haven't tried one of the new ones yet.
I'll PM you .

Mine current one is a 2017 (old PCB) and does it, but only very faintly and if the gain is above about 3 o'clock. They do vary widely though. Also, it's miles worse if there's a phaser after it!

I’d deffo get one if you’re curious- cheap enough to buy either new or used, and easy to move on if you don’t like it.
I love mine for the typical thing it gets used for: adding spice to an already overdriven Marshall when you’re playing a Les Paul.

The SD-1 is so ubiquitous and inexpensive I really want it to work though. I’m going to look up some mods...
Others may disagree, but... snake oil, in my opinion.
