MGR/ctargia « Boss ODB-3 Bass Overdrive »
Published on 05/09/10 at 15:00Yellow, 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.
