Dan Hawkins

At 10:57 minute mark, Hawkins shows the Boss DS-2 TURBO Distortion pedal, which replaced the Roger Mayer fuzz pedal.

"I've got the original TS808 which as you can be see is pretty much flat out," says Dan Hawkins, at 15:25 in this video.

"It's really good for feedback. It's good for everything actually," says Dan Hawkins, at 16:20 in this video, about his V-Twin.

In a photo shared from Hawkins in this September 12, 2012 Twitter post, the Boss SD-1 is visible in his pedalboard. It also featured in this September 17, 2021 promotional Guitar article.

Another exponent of the SD-1 is Dan Hawkins of platinum-selling rockers, The Darkness whose huge riffs and sinuous lead work owe much to the humble mellow yellow wonder. From the classic power chords of Permission To Land to their new album Motorheart the mighty SD-1 is front and centre.

“It was my first overdrive pedal when I was about 13 years old and that was it,” Dan tells us. “It was the ultimate overdrive sound right away for me and I will always have one on my board. It’s been on every album we’ve ever recorded – Love Is Only A Feeling was an SD-1 and a BOSS compressor a Space Echo – and it’s quite unusual for me to play lots of lead guitar on a Darkness song. I don’t know what it is about the SD-1 but it’s just got vibes. They nailed it didn’t they?”

According to pedalboard photo from Hawkins' Twitter account, he uses the Marshall Drivemaster.

"Right my army of Guitar Geeks! Here's purchase No.1 for the 'on the fly rig' to be used at headline shows on LG tour."

“At the moment I’m using Marshalls, Les Paul Standards, plus a Diezel VH4 pedal, a Schaffer Replica, some Tubescreamers and other bits. For the next tour, I might get a Vox AC30 modded by the guy who did all of Brian May’s amps. Those things just roar!”
