OVERALL OPINION
I tried bcp other models before buying and what I like in a certain way is that it is ... the number of standard overdrive typed showed me that I tried that what is called "standard" is actually a pejorative adjective meaning "that stands out."
default: you could have a lower price anyway! it hurts to spend 600fr to (roughly) three buttons and an electronic circuit ... we can never say asser! I use it for a few weeks, I would do this choice because it suits me, we must try.See less20 - amatthieuPublished on 11/02/07 at 13:27 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Overdrive pedal 9volt

OVERALL OPINION
Used for a year, with a crappy amp plutt (5Ow drive a pro who's still a clean acceptable) and Cort M8OO, I do not activate on some pieces, ultra clean sound, without frills, is often better brand (Full Control of sound) the effects ... but as said before, when my goal is to talk about the alien who is alone on a plant in ruins, I hit a little bit on the yellow pedals ..

I'm often late to the concert ..). Above all, a m'vite to choice, and keep my money.

Nothing like a distortion / metal any area that I can humanly be used on my Peavey XXX: wild jumble audio feedback provided ... but here's Feedback music are controlled without problems, same for the harmonics! Even with chorus and delay ...
No need for noise gate
And yet I have the sound of Killing Joke, Motorhead or even Discharge ...
A unrestricted use on any transistor amp!
OVERALL OPINION
One of the few that I use overdrive pedals on stage with all my lights ... no hassle and a clean and powerful at all levels (and my XXX is not a model of sobriety quiet (compared to a Marshall or a Fender All Tube)
And I've tried for 30 years! (Only TS9 Ibanez is similar)

Great overdrive
Published on 07/20/11 at 11:08The boss od-3 is a simple overdrive pedal with the standard boss single stomp box layout. It has standard 1/4" input and output jacks, 9 volt DC input jack, 9 volt battery snap under the bypass door, and controls for drive, level, and tone.
Housed in the tough as a brick boss box.
UTILIZATION
There are not any confusing controls on this box which is how I think overdrives should be. Just plug in your cables, power it up, and go. The manual is fine but if you have ever used any other pedal then you don't even need to take it out of the box.

SOUND QUALITY
I used (I sold it once I started building my own overdrives) this pedal in a guitar set up as an overdrive for my clean channel and also as a boost for my lead channel. As an overdrive I was very surprised with how good it sounds. Some of the other boss overdrive/distortion boxes sound plain and boxy but this one held it's own against much more expensive pedals. There is a wide range of useable sounds from light drive to a classic rock crunch. I really enjoyed the sound of the gain about 3/4 of the way into an amp with a bit of breakup. It really kicked the sound up without getting muddy or causing too much noise. Single note lines were fattened and chords retained their clarity even with the added gain.
As a boost in the typical set up of gain on 0, volume an 10, and tone around noon it really tightened up my distortion sound. The pedal cuts out a bit of bass similar to a tube screamer but without the massive mid hump in the EQ. Using the pedal like this allowed me to get more modern metal sounds out of mid gain amps. I used it with some orange and budda amps and was surprised how metal I could get them sounding. In front of my Framus cobra's lead channel it provided that popular clear, tight, compressed tone you hear on many current metal albums. The amp can do that sound on it's own but I preferred having it set more moderately and kicking this pedal on top when needed.
OVERALL OPINION
This is a great pedal and I think anybody looking for an overdrive should check it out before dropping much more money on all the boutique pedals out there. For the price, especially used, you just can't get a better option and it holds it's own against the more expensive stuff. If I ever get tired of my current overdrive I will probably pick another one of these up.See less10 - BlackMaplePublished on 03/29/10 at 13:53 (This content has been automatically translated from French)Overdrive, tone and volume gain.

Simple, traditional and good sounding overdrive effect.

It has an accurate and well-defined sound although I use it with a Peavey XXX, even with the all-tube channels of the amp. I have several guitars from Gibson, Epiphone and Lag.
This overdrive adds a specific color to the sound of the tube channels and acts as a real tube screamer with the clean channel sounding very transparent with the right settings!

It's not comparable to a heavy metal distortion pedal, which I wouldn't be able to use with my Peavey XXX without getting uncontrolled feedbacks and a muddy sound... With this pedal I get musical easy-to-control feedbacks and overtones! Even with chorus and delay effects...
No need for a noise gate.
And still I get the sound of Killing Joke, Motorhead or Discharge...
To be used without restriction with every solid state amp!!!
OVERALL OPINION
It's one of the few overdrive pedals I'm using on stage with my all-tube amp... I have zero problems and a powerful well-defined sound (although my XXX isn't as restrained as an all-tube Marshall or Fender)
I have tested lots of overdrive pedals over the last 30 years!! And only the Ibanez TS9 sounds similar.
I recommend it to beginners as well as pros!!See less00
