OS-2 Overdrive / Distortion Pedal Review

Don't deceive yourself for the price, this is a great pedal

I was worried this pedal was good at distortion but bad at overdrive, thankfully it's good at both! It has a lot of body and presence, but also cuts well in the highs and has a good leading sound, I compared it hand-to-hand with an SD-1 overdrive and I can tell you that I was able to get very similar sounds using the knobs, one thing you should know is that the SD-1 overdrive with… read more a gain of 10 is equivalent to this OS-2 pedal with a gain of 2, so it has enough gain to almost every taste

Don't pass this one up!

Well, to begin with,I have been a Boss OD-3 user for almost 13 years now. Its my stand alone Rhythm and Lead sound with occasional Boss SD-1 in front of it for solos when needed. So about the OS-2, first of, its analog and sounds fantastic! and easy to tweak. One can go from snarly mid growl to scoop mid chunk. And if your using 2 or 3 different guitar on a live show, color… read more knob can compensate for what you want to hear depending on single coil bridge or humbucker bridge use, really kool. It is now my go to stand alone pedal. And for the price new! you can't pass this one up, it can hold its own along side the $200 plus OD/Distortion pedals out there...

Nice Pedal

This pedal is versatile and does just what it says. With both overdrive and distortion you can dial in just the right amount of both for the perfect tone. Nice job Boss!

I love this pedal!

I really love the tone that I get from the Boss OS-2 Overdrive / Distortion pedal. I still have my original one that I bought back in Spring of 1994 & "It still works!" Boss pedals are very road worthy. I bought this pedal as backup because as far as I know, Boss no longer makes this pedal anymore which really ticks me off big time. I mainly use the Overdrive on this pedal because… read more it sounds so good using either single or double coil pickups. All I can say is "I really love this pedal!"
