Playing around this morning, I noticed how remarkably close the Axe-FX III SD-1 Overdrive model was to the real thing - which is an old favourite. This shouldn't come as a surprise as the Axe's hundreds of models are generally bang on. So, why not put them head to head? BOSS vs the Axe? I have the technology, let's go! So for your entertainment pleasure and possible enlightenment, I give you my BOSS SD-1 vs Axe-FX III SD-1 video. Next up, the MT-2 Metal Zone. 🤘🏻
