Never tried that pedal. When it comes to overdrive/distortion pedals, I'm usually disappointed because most of them sound like buzz boxes or chain saws. I like tube overdrive for the coloration it gives, the natural compression and it's smoothness over everything else. The OCD pedals are awesome, especially version 4 (actually 1.04). When needed, I use one for a slightly overdriven crunch or slight solo boost and the second one for true high gain rhythms and over the top solos. The SD-1 stock kinda sucks in my opinion, very sterile and flat sounding, no life. I would describe the overdrive as kind of dull. The Monte Allums T808 mod fixed that in a big way. Pick up a new or used SD-1 (they sell real cheap, especially used) and spend $30 on the MA T808 mod with the 2x gain switch and asymetrical/symetrical switches. I did it myself in about 2-3 hours. You won't believe the difference it made in that pedal.

If you like messing with stuff, you can build your own effects pedals pretty cheaply.
BYOC sells some very "top shelf" boutique pedal kits at really good prices. Their .pdf instructions are laid out very well and extremely easy to follow. I've got their phaser kit on the way. It should be fun. You can paint, powder coat, decal, and/or sticker it up yourself for a custom looking pedal.
The Bogner Uberschall is my favorite amp right now with the Soldano coming in a close 2nd.
