Best value:
Excellent
Pedal overdrive / distortion.
1 input jack, an output jack, an input adapter.
5 knobs:
- Level (volume)
- Tone (...)
- Drive (gain)
- Color (dosage overdrive / distortion)
UTILIZATION
Simple operation, there are the sounds very quickly.
Not need a PhD in effects pedals ...
Manuel succinct and more than enough.
SOUND QUALITY
The sounds are excellent.
I use it with an Ibanez SZ520QM.
Amp side I have a Roland Cube-30 (but I will change soon).
I also add a Cry-Baby.
In fact this pedal is the combination of two pedals Boss Overdrive OD-1 and DS-1 distortion.
The overdrive is hot, filthy hair, enough vintage.
The distortion is colder (normal for a distortion ...) and can range, depending on the settings of his nag / punk to something more clean, round, metallic style Satriani (Satch also uses a DS- 1).
Short of his palette is very wide for a pedal this price.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a few months (I have in mind the date).
The Color knob brings a real plus and not a gadget since the sounds are still a very good quality.
Strong side is the Boss so no worries (the guarantee is 5 years I think).
Quality / price ratio excellent (bought new € 70).
After some may prefer to have two separate pedals overdrive and distortion but for the price we must admit that the Boss OS-2 is more than adequate.
