All user reviews for the Boss ODB-3 Bass OverDrive

This is a digital distortion. Evelop for Lower, but I utiliste only with my guitars. An entry for an output jack and it's solid, it can jump on it without problem.

USE

Potentiometers are can SERRS and small. There is a volume, a rglage bass and treble on top of the bass. Balance and gain. In all, five potentiometer. I have used this time with a transformer, a try with a battery.
The rglage are simple and can go from all to nothing.

SOUND QUALITY

The effect may sound a digital trops my taste, but I find the practice to work the pedal Feedback, especially in low infra coupled a CryBaby.

NOTICE GLOBAL

I've had two years and this is the rcupe, so no pay.
It should not take into account the notes, I think everyone should have an opinion.

See other reviews say it all

UTILIZATION

easier you die
a mold with an IQ oyster comes out no problem

SOUND QUALITY

Well, the uh ...... well then here's what.
Purchased on the basis of opinions of Af, the result means, pretty disappointed with the sound
of being pushed a little breath ca, ca hisses, I tried everything to turn breath, nothing to do
some say qua ca fuzz, when everything is pushed, maybe but then the sound becomes a slurry informed, just good to play a note and still
I actually use as a booster with a level a little above, a tad of overdrive it gives a crunch, a low growl to who do not have

OVERALL OPINION

I 2 months ago, a friend had lent me a boost I should buy him
least: generates noise unbearable not true bypass pedal background
most: solid known machine (Boss)

I do it again this choice? : Ben she remained in my pedal board because I do not use one with low indeed. I keep it if not for the distant and hypothetical day I'll need a sound distortion hyperfroid and impersonal

Bass overdrive pedal format boss. analog saturation. Robust metal shell. Jack in, jack out and roll youth!

UTILIZATION

It's still a boss pedal, so it's simple, but I find it particularly well at the settings: one has a 2-band eq instead of the usual tone, volume, a drive, and a knob for the determination of dry / wet. In short, we quickly found what picks: the sound.

SOUND QUALITY

Saturation is very good, although a little right. If the dose with intelligence, we will crunch the big slobbery discrete saturation. the wet dry is very effective, and I do not understand why all the pedals are not equipped to bring out the attack is great.

Also be used with a guitar, it had its effect (no pun intended), the big beefy sound a bit cold, addition sustain an almost clean sound ... It's very flexible.

OVERALL OPINION

I was ready the last 4 months, I use it a lot (as guitarist and bassist). value for money is good, after that not suit everyone, but it is the purpose of a good effect!

The Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive stompbox is a simple, standard, yellow Boss pedal, probably one of the most common (and cheapest) bass overdrive/distortion pedals out there. It takes standard pedal power or a 9 volt battery (just like most Boss single pedals), and it has a 1/4 guitar line input and guitar line output.

UTILIZATION

The stomp pedal on the ODB-3, like most Boss pedals, is wide, large, and extremely durable. These pedals are built like tanks, and they are virtually indestructible. That's one good reason they are the industry standard for guitar pedals. The control knobs are all solid, and the pots behind them never get scratchy.

SOUND QUALITY

There are four main controls on the Boss ODB-3: Level, EQ, Balance, and Gain. Level controls the overall volume output of the pedal, and has no effect on the actual distortion levels of the effect. This is great for balancing your pedal-off sound with the pedal-on sound, so that the volume boost is minimal, or in some cases, there is a moderate volume boost, if the bass player wants to be louder during certain riffs. The EQ control has two knobs (one inside of the other). These control the bass and treble of the sound. If they are set straight up, they are flat, and this allows for both boost and cut of the highs and lows. This allows you to turn up the treble for thicker, more guitar-like distortion sounds, or turn up the bass if the lows are getting lost behind the fuzz. Next, there is a balance control, and this allows the mixing of the dry bass guitar sound with the affected, distorted sound. This is one of the best controls on here, and it allows you to crank up the distortion, if desired, but still retain the clarity of the original sound. This is the control that is missing from most standard guitar overdrive pedals. and what makes most of them unusable for bass. The last knob is the gain control, which controls how much distortion to add to the signal.



OVERALL OPINION

Overall, a great little pedal, that is cheap, but simply does it's job, if you ever want to experiment with bass overdrives, fuzzes, and distortions. Check it out!

Yellow, small single pedal with hard metal casing.

I bought this in late 2002 at a local music store for about $80. I was looking for some good distortion. It was recommended to me over whatever comparable pedal was in the shop at the time, because you can mix the tone two have both distortion and clean sound coming out.

This very affordable pedal is great for simple rock distortion, and gain increase/reduction. The controls are real easy to configure

It only has a low/high frequency EQ adjustments, it would be nice to have a mid also to finer tune your Distortion. Also the batteries will drain as long as it is plugged into a 1/4' jack, even if the distortion is not on. When the batteries start to go the sound quality will suffer significantly, it is good to have an extra on hand, or even better have the adapter(extra charge).

High quality construction, this thing is made of metal and will survive a fall off a truck.

It's a great pedal, pretty versatile distortion, good value for the money; if you want a lot of crazy effects, then you need a different pedal.

I play electric bass in a band from Coburg. We play mostly punk and rock, but sometimes Jack (the drummer) and I like to play a bit of reggae.

I do all my shopping at Allans Music Store. They always give me fantastic deals - and I don't even ask! I picked up this handy pedal for $175.00. That's about half the list price.

I got this pedal because I needed something to completely change my sound, and provide an occasional lift.

The pedal provides you with a wide range of tonal options, from complete distortion, to an aggressive tone with a rough edge. It is of course an 'overdrive' pedal, for those who are unaware of what that means, it simulates an overdriven tube amp. Usually this would tae a range of different effects, but Boss have crammed it into one compact pedal.

If you roll back on the gain and the balance knob, and up te volume, the pedal can act as a simple volume boost.
The addition of a simple two band equalizer means you can change the level of bottom end, without dulling down highs or the lethal gain. If you like, you can simply turn back the balance and the gain, keep the volume even with your amp and use the two band eq to boost your bottom end.

I personally use it occasionally for long distorted intros to our songs, or as a light fuzz for a chorus or an outro.

There's not much I don't like about the pedal.

The only thing that annoys me sometimes is the two band eq. It's fine with a bit of gain, as you can boost or cut your bottom end for a more dimensional sound, but if you roll back on the balance and the gain, it sounds kid of flat and two dimensional.

I did say you could use it to boost your bottom end without gain, but it dulls down your highs and leaves a kind of muddy sound.

The build quality is absolutely fantastic. It may be made in Asia, but it's built like a rock. The steel construction makes it a lot heavier and more solid than it appears. You can drop it onto a hard surface, or down some stairs (I have) and it'll come through with absolutely no damage at all - and it'll sound exactly the same as it did when you first tried it out at the store.

Overall, this pedal is definitely one to stick next to your amplifier.

Anyone looking for something to boost their sound, or add some gain for the occasional distored bass line, should save up and buy one.

I was having trouble getting hold of one of these. I told a friend about this and amazingly he had one that was in near perfect condition that he wanted to sell! I have been after a decent OD pedal for a while (Ibanez and Digitech don't cut it for me.) After I tried it out, I got it for £35. The normal first hand price is about £60.

I like it because it's... fuzzy. If I tweek the settings and ajust my amp/bass eq, I can get many different tones and sounds of it. I notted also that a did managed to get it onto a setting where it almost became a phaser pedal and sustain pedal! I like it because I've used it to do things like the star spangled banner and Cliff Burton solos! It's really useful for covering the role of a rhythm guitar as well. For example, the harmony part on "One" by Metallica. Two guitars playing harmony, clean bass doing rhythm isn't enough. Add a minute touch of growly OD for the bass during that part really makes a difference! Good for RATM + Audioslave songs aswell! The colour is cool... yellow and black. It's like a square banana brick shaped thingy-whacha-mu-call-it?

Funny colour of it can be harsh on the eyes, especially if your hungover! Ummm not much I can say really.

I can't really judge because it's not new, ummm, it solid and I've had no problems with it so far. Sound is awsome. The best OD pedal I've used.

A good pedal, and i'm glad that i got it cheaper second hand cause now ive got more money to spend on other stuff. If your looking for a good distortion, get this. After all, no-one i know dislikes BOSS pedals, and they are quite renound and sturdy (ROLAND company.) I also think that £60 is a fair bit of money so I recomend getting a used one if you arn't keen on forking out a wod of notes.

I got it at Da Capo Nietap. Payed €75 for it so that was quite cheap.

I used maybe three or four times. Used it once while playing with my former metal band too bad we've split up. Or not but anyway I thought it sounded quite shitty compared to the Ibanez PD7 that had been smashed earlier. Some will disagree! When I hooked up the BOSS I noticed that the PD7 malfunction was just a cable problem and it was now broken because of my bad temper! That really sucked.

It sounds good but if you want a heavier bass distortion go for the Ibanez PD7!

It seems ok but it didn't go through the abuse that the PD7 did.

It's fine but not compared to the PD7!

I think I paid 75$ at a local music store.

I like the fact that you can get so many sounds out of this pedal. I can be a fuzz, distortion, or an overdrive. It is very versatile

The only thing that was bad about this pedal was that it ate batteries like crazy. In one week of using this I could go through 2 or 3 batteries. It is definately worthwhile to get the adapter. The thing about the adapter is that it is pretty big and it will cover a two socket plug if you put it on the top socket. If your sockets are close to the ground (like mine) then it won't fit in the bottom hole so you can't plug an amp and the adapter into one of those. Other than that its awesome.

This things a tank!

This pedal has so many sounds that one is able to get out of it. Buy this pedal. Get an adapter.

I paid $70 for this box at my local mars music superstore...

It is all metal and has a really durable look, feel and reputation. The knobs are sorta small, but they work great. The sound from this stompbox is more of a fuzz than a gain-boosted overdrive, but this thing can reach all levels. From a light growl on the low end or a shade of distort to screaming thrash metal, this thing can do them all.

The color. yellow is not my type!
And one more thing - this baby is noisy! You can always turn it off after you play, of course....

Superb. Roland does a very good job.

If you need a bass effect, and you like adding a fine touch to your tone, get it. If you're a bass purist (4 strings, a clean sound) don't.

Overdrive / Distortion analog, non-editable, connectors Standard Boss (jack in and out). Not true bypass.

UTILIZATION

Very simple configuration: 2-band EQ (very effective: Bass and Treble), a Drive to manage the distortion level, a Level for the output volume and mix to manage the mix between Dry and Twisting. The manual is clear and more than adequate, yet not need a novel ... We quickly found the sounds of interest (as long as we want to sound synthetic).

SOUND QUALITY

Indeed very effective, many bands of EQ and gain very active, but synthetic sounds, if you want sound organic typed stoner, tube-like overdrive or vintage, go your way. I use it with a Fender P-Bass Standard V and an OLP Stingray U.S., both are passive but I also used an Ibanez ICB 300 EX Icebass active, the pedal supports all without flinching but renders evil personality an instrument (even the CBI that a very, very large volume of output). The sounds are cool, but synthetic surgical and easily controllable. for many this coldness is a disadvantage, in fact, everything depends on what you want: I played in electro formations where it works wonders in order to reproduce well saturated fat synths, I send him the SYB-5 story to thicken and distort the synthesized sounds while keeping in mind cold and heavy electro sounds. I use it to grow then my other overdrive and give more definition to my fuzz (TS9B Ibanez and MXR El Grande Bass Fuzz) by placing it before (it sounds monstrous gain in the forward half an El Grande Bass Fuzz pushed background for example).

OVERALL OPINION

This was my first bass effect, I've had 3/4 years see, actually I do not even remember when I bought it. I love the sounds of surgical distortion and cold but not enough to play what I play for the heat (sounds hard rock, stoner rock, classic rock, etc. ..) I have to go through my TS9B or my MXR. Clearly it is not only versatile and am using that in the register electro / nu metal or disco by thickening TS9B or better defining the MXR. The value for money is good in my opinion. And I would do this choice because I'm a fan of Overdrives on low and can not be said to be worse than the TS9B example, it just sounds differently, in another spirit and another grain. If you are fans of Overdrives and want to have the maximum opportunity of grains and colors, you need it for your sounds cold and precise.

Distortion pedals for bass
Powered by 9V battery or AC adapter adapted.

Rglages: Level, Bass, Treble, Balance (the untreated / her line), Gain

Connectors: 1 input, 1 output, the company also serves as interuptteur and the effect is automatically turned off if no branch Jack was in between.

Pedals very solid.

UTILIZATION

Setup is extremely simple and we quickly make us sound matching. The manual, although few pais is sufficient and included some examples of rglages.

SOUND QUALITY

The pedal does not CRER of breath, the sound is pretty clean. The distortion is quite enjoyable for a transistor distortion. We regret sound even when very cold, and if the warm prfere we will turn to a preamp lamps (although much more expensive).

SETTING THE The gain is not progressive enough, and it is difficult to get a crunch. Of the agin Exceeds rglage quarter of the sound is immediately fuzz very, very agrssive. By itself against the type of music can be adapted such as punk, and then with other effects of beacoup Manir adnaturer totally sound ..

OVERALL OPINION

The pedals can be worth a little bit expensive (90) given the current price of integrated simulation solutions that purpose, but it is a good product, with its settle a bit hard and too cold. However, it is one of the few pedals distortion fully adjust the bass.

So we RPET, BOSS is the sturdy, no worries.
It's so numrique personally am a grain dish a lot.
Battery or power supply choices

UTILIZATION

Trs simple configuration.
All shades are available. Drive the lightweight and warm the big boost in Aiges distortion thanks to the double knob tone.
The gain to complement everything, wisely
Manual BOSS qqes with clear examples clairent immediately taken in hand.

SOUND QUALITY

There's good quality! ! !
Dry fat, boost or not by the gain you can find anything. A rgal.
The nuances are not left with much heavy bass and super sharp AIGS (for the Kepone in particular) or a mix of 2 to 2 / 3 - 1 / 3. Is your exact l.

OVERALL OPINION

Probably one of the ones I'm not selling sitt prt.
was slightly less than a year since I have it. She is always in the loop.
The big + is given the diversity of saturation.
Report quality discount and is easy OCCAZ.
I recommend it

It has an overdrive SPECIFICATIONS bass.
The PDAL is an analog input and output jack.

UTILIZATION

Usage is quite simple, however, find the desired sound is quite difficult. but a lot of adjustment by the hard right. the manual is clearly nothing to say.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is OK too cold for me ... TO ADDRESS THEM I but the tonal background and my bass has the mike I cut treble.
the pedals and not very diversified settings allow the fuzz, overdrive Submitted trs, the crunch is not possible and the big sound in the metal genre is impossible to find also.
you can always used the form of boost which is very practical. (I served as a treble booster).

OVERALL OPINION

I is useful for 1 year and a half. I use it in booster and as an overdrive following the tracks.
the pedals are a bit expensive for its quality but the sound is correct. I think I will buy another if I could PDAL I will buy a big muff electro harmonix or otherwise of the mt-2 boss how much is this guitar pedal has a more than correct on bass and provides more possibilities and with the heat of mid rglages ....

Return: 2011
I do almost the User, the DCON switch and the sound is really cold today jOperation a Z-vex or a big muff in parallel.

Nothing to add except: simple and effective.

Ah! Yes! BMOL bring a little because of the ngligence boss: the adapter is not supplied with, and change the batteries every 2 rpt ', it's going a while but ca drunk fast!

UTILIZATION

Despite the small size of this effect (standard Boss) and the fact that there are only four buttons, it does not mean extremely simple to use. Well, do not take the longer-head for hours to get it to find the sound you're looking, but even when it is not simplistic.

It happens, however, quickly find the sound you want ...

SOUND QUALITY

The term overdrive is me talking innapropri plutt of fuzz. The sounds that can be drawn are, even when quite modern. As an example, we can approach the bass sound of the intro to Muse's Hysteria as an effect that would reproduce the saturation of an amplifier lamps.

So in this register, it is efficient trs ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for about 6 months and I find it efficient trs. But be careful, I RPET: It's a fuzz that it (the modern), not an overdrive (in the strict sense: the more vintage).

I have not tried other models because it is by trying it took me the urge to buy one and will integrate it or lines in our compositions. In gnral, I'm not a big user of effect, but this is the trs apprciable!

For about 600 bullets on the market (and yes, I am still in francs) and 400 balls occas', I would say that if we want to fuzz will integrate a simple and effective in his gear, and much has is well worth to SAVE ... a report qualitprix trs honorable given the efficiency of the machine.

Exprience with (if you can use that word ...) I would do without this choice problem: it is always enjoyable to have that little fact under the foot. In fact, I was given IDE m'interresser a little more order to the effect will integrate from time to time, but modration ... too much effect kills the effect!

This is an overdrive pedals, but playing the knobs soon as you arrive trs a furious distortion. Like all pedals can not edit the sounds in any Manir it. The connector is basically a mono jack on both sides. If you respect the order Low -> pedals -> Amp! normally it should work. Finally a plug for the power supply (not included).

UTILIZATION

Operation is extremely simple. 4 potentiomtres everything is in everything. Just look for the sound. The manual is in English and it is clear with trs queqlues diagrams as usual for the key effects.

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are incredibly efficient! They are excellent for a sound point of view. Personally I was looking for the crunch of the amplifier saturation, a brief overdrive! I have and it is superb. I use this with a passive bass pedals ARIA PRO II and a FENDER RUMBLE 100

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 6 months. I had to try something cheap Beringher 19 - see anything on the day (BOSS) - The trfonds of the night (Behring). Report abuse lgrement quality prices - as usual at Boss - This one was worth the money! If I had the choice again! without hsitation.

It is a distortion pedals transistors specially dedicates bass,
The connection could not be simpler: a jack from another output to the amp, and voila.
The pedals seem really solid, nothing moves Fawn inquitante.
Also, she is not greedy in energy trs, I put a battery that takes several months now.
In short, it's solid, and it's clear.

UTILIZATION

The knobs are quite clear: one volume, 2 qualiseurs (treble and bass), the balance between the boost and a fuzz lgrement genuine, and a saturation knob. It is trs RULES quickly, despite a lack of choice in the style of distortion.
The manual is well done, it explains the basics of the SETTING THE pedals and gives some useful presets, including the fuzz.
APRS, I still hear: "Yes, but not enough rglages everything, the drive pedals offer no boost, and even when it's limit!"
Calm down, we talk about pedals and not specially Chres transistors.

SOUND QUALITY

The distortion is effective, clear, but the sound is pretty consistent throughout, a lack of nuances in the styles of distortion, a do not provide distortion-mga-trash-metal-fusion which shakes walls, at best a good crunch.
But it's the fuzz pedals that excels: rglage with the manual, it has a style fuzz Chris Wolstenholme of Muse, a little less gain and it was the sound of Flea (which uses the p dale elsewhere, and Nate Mendel of Foo Fighters, and others, I refer you to http://guitargeek.com/gearview/70/ names and more). I use a Cort Action Bass 4 and a Roland Cube 100 bass amp, it's quite enjoyable.
Behringer BX600 on my, silent sound nice, the distortion that I needed, but the sound was quite cold. And with Roland and amp simulations, miracle: the pedals gave much thanks to sound DIFFERENT modlisations amp. It goes from a distortion of the vintage Fender Bassman simulation a modern distortion or fuzz on the simulation Ampeg. What happiness with this amp. Objectively, the pedals MRIT a 7, but with an amp just right (or Roland) is that of happiness.

Correction

For the sound Chris Wolstenholme must plutt lot tamper the knobs. I finally found a sound that works well, mea culpa.

OVERALL OPINION

I use the pedals for the past 8 months.
The pedals have a lot of advantages:
-Strong;
- A good sound trs general;
- The rglages and use simple
- A relatively low price;
- A sound gnial as long as you have a good amp.
Nanmoins,
- It's a fairly ordinary on a range of amp;
- The rglages do not have much choice in the distortion;
- Ncessite lot of tampering for a distortion that does not bleed.

In short, this is definitely not the distortion pedals of uber-lamps-dmentielle distortion, but still a good trs pedals for the price, and that's good for beginners get a hit single with distortion and giving good sound quite useful.

The ODB is a 3 overdrive pedal so it gives overdrive effects in intensity No matter what c is and how low it gives extra shine to the sound
I believe that c is an analogue in n but I'm not sure
I do not know if they are editable
He adjusts a jack for connection but it is to be simple to use

UTILIZATION

The general setup is simple as long that we read the manual
The edition of his taking time at the beginning but you understand quickly
The manual is quite clear but it is necessary to know the English

SOUND QUALITY

The effects are very effective, the overdrive just take lots of colors, but on the low passive it will sound quite natural for me c is a jazz bass and a very active against artificial but not bad
I use the highway with a jazz bass and an ibanez rd 500, which is active
J l I love them all but I prefer the Donnan overdrive sound and noise at the same time ASEZ near the sound of the bass of origin

OVERALL OPINION

I have been using the April 2, 2006
The particular feature that I like most is that c c is a low overdrive, the lowest n is no exeption issole arruve it that I hear a breath in the amp when I put
c is not the first that I bought
It is a bit expensive but it has many capacitbr /> I can make the same choice j but now think I'm going to lean on multi effects

MODEL classic trs, trs used. The CHARACTERISTICS tehnique are sufficiently explicit on the previous ones posts.

UTILIZATION

The pedals sound gnre consquent a crachoullis enough teacher, and many mchants feedback. Even with a reasonable gain.
The mids are not enough models.
Unlike some opinions, I can not find the pedals limit choices distos. It's big enough to Paser time.
The manual is useless.
The PDAL is a boss, solid level anything.

SOUND QUALITY

With a low in mid grants, or at worst a tone and a half below is correct; DEFINITIONS lack of research but which can be quickly becomes ugly if you want a heavy distortion. But the crunch is more dtour on the pedals.
Agreement below, this is useless pedals. The definition gnrale trs becomes insufficient. It's muddy and noisy beyond the acceptable, the saturation distortion lgre complte. All tests with a high end Warwick and MMstingray, with a few watts derrire, nothing given for these tunings.
I therefore deprecated those who want a distortion of a low enough Submitted given below.
5 grants with a low not too low / 0 with a low of 1.5 beyond tones underneath.

OVERALL OPINION

I find the drive / low distos rarely satisfactory. I think it's idalie obtained by saturation with a good bass amp lamps. I think one of pedals drive / distortion to give just a substitute.
I test this MODEL in condition, and then got DCID EBS MultiDrive a much more suitable. The BOSS canned low as promised, the BSE also, but with a good grain diffrent, treble cut a fairly well thought out.
But everything can be a matter of tastes.

Newly acquired, there are qq hours)
Trs a good distortion, solid (Alu).
4 pots:
-Level for the output level
A double-knob of legalization (high and low)
A balance-Dry / Overdrive
-Gain
It is very easy RULES, there's no simpler. The little barely audible distortion
the large distortion that hard walls, it is sending the pure. Frankly, for the price
(100) I find trs correct.
Only BMOL: qd it boosts bass and treble tends a break!

OVERALL OPINION

N / A

Overdrive pedals acquire a legalization two bands, the traditional amount. The legalization is handy and helps sculpt the sound.
Level, EQ (high and low), Balance, Gain.

UTILIZATION

It is a long time to find the sound you're looking, because of the EQ is effective trs. Moreover, it is simple to use trs.

SOUND QUALITY

Well, here adpend of what we seek.
The good point is that the bass are fairly well respected, not too many losses. The EQ allows you to switch between the fatty trs trs nasal sound, it is efficient trs. With the Level knob, compensate the diffrence Level, Gain Defines the amount of saturation and neutral balance shuffled the signal of the bass with overdrive.
It works, yes, but the problem is that synthetic trs. I had searched in vain, if you will just add a little growl in their sound, it is practically impossible, despite the possibilities of publishing. Saturation sounds artificial, I would say it's the OD of MetalZone bass ... Those seeking a large trs its edge will be filled, but others should look to the plutt MultiDrive EBS, a real gem.
The ODB-3 may be appropriate for the Anesthesia Cliff solos (Metallica), and even a really sounds less natural, may go for big bass lines hyper saturated but relatively simple, but ds we played on more than one string once (I do not even talk about agreements!) is the total mess, a sloppy and confusing sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

Not a bad pedals, but just not what I need. Lovers of natural saturation and hot, go your way. Aficionados of synthetic sounds, this is for you pedals. Everyone's gots all APRS. Personally, to get a big sound with low trs aggressive, I prfre solution LS-2 + distortion guitar. The LS-2 makes it possible to mix the clear sound of the bass with any effect Manir much more effective than the ODB-3, which completely erases personality and even the bass of the amp. No half measures, I have no russian rgler modrment.

Not my thing, but again was able to agree on others, we must try to find

Overdirve really versatile bass

UTILIZATION

Easy to use !!!!!

level of the effect
bass and treble boost
Overdirve balance between the low and non traitbr /> gain

SOUND QUALITY

I use it on bass (JP 6 fretless bass, Jb 75 'jap, Musicman 78' deluxe JB)

the effect is trs synthetic, but I like, even love, the bass is the appointment of the pedals (still happy she dedicates the bass lol) and treble can be very aggressive, has a range of versatile enough action in the mix it is not shuffled with the guitar and I find the bass is always Submitted.

I utiise also a scratch Epiphone Les paul I think it sounds great with a metal scraper better than the big muff and other area ....

ngatif point is that it blows quite quickly in the extreme rglages

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for six years, I find it a good value / quality prices, I use to have the "big sound"

It is true that one can not be advanced if the sound speed dgueule, but she was well suited

I tried a lot of stuff od, however I bought a Maxon rod 881, but since the week I gave the dernire odb 3 in my pedalboard, the cot Maxon I have two opposite and compltement sounds DIFFERENT than happiness, that I almost sell it = D

Overdrive / distortion very SIMPATIE
1 volume
2 equalizeurs (acute severe enough scoring)
A balance between the bypass and the effect (could be improved by increasing the bypass a little and we can really play it)
A gain (no more than a normal overdrive!)

I put 9 on the balance not super great.

UTILIZATION

I've never had my hand which does not prevent its use.
as always with boss, you die easy.
about the sounds really easy to handle apart again the balance is not the most sophisticated for my taste.
it deserves all the same October 1

SOUND QUALITY

I use this only with a passive and low equalizeur from home boss, the sound is very convincing! as always with a boss is old school pedal sounds hyper modern followers to abstain. I love the sound of this pedal a couple my ashdown it sounds very very good!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for several weeks and still no recordings or concerts.
conaissant boss but it should not be any problems. the distortion is really old school par excellence!
With the experience I remake the choice again! I'm going to even think to buy other big muff or type distos ebs ^ ^!
