Great pedal, but overpriced
It's a good pedal, but just overpriced.
If you are looking for "same as SD-1, but better", this pedal is pretty much a hit or miss. The new "Custom" mode sounds pretty good IMHO and fatter without sounding mushy or boomy, but it also kind of takes away from the basic gritty sound of SD-1. The grit which many love.
I would highly recommend you try this pedal before buying if possible, if you love SD-1 and think about upgrading.
Build quality is of course super solid, it's Boss. The pedal will live longer than you.

Classic with improvements
I've ended up owning and letting go Boss SD-1 three times. The first was when I gave my old trustworthy unit to a friend. The second one was buying the Waza Craft version in questin. This summer (2020) I sold the Waza Craft unit for the lack of use, and now in autumn I took a great deal for a Uraltone modded basic SD-1. The circle is kinda complete...
SD-1W is an excellent overdrive. It has all the goodness of the original, but the extra "C" mode gives you extra clarity, wider gain range and slightly more responsive tone knob that has a tad usable range even in the extremes. In heart it is still the same crunch teaser for your mildly overdriven amp or a great boost for your already hot tubes. All this in a robust Boss housing and allegedly with better quality inside parts than the basic version. At least soldered more carefully.
SD-1W is an excellent option as a ready-from-the shelf solution to get yourself the goodness that can be professionally modded SD-1. Take it from me, this is one friend that you keep coming back to.
