I bought this unit because I wasn't satisfied with my amp's overdrive and its possibilities.
I got in for 72,31$ in a store called Musik-Produktiv (the biggest Musicstore in Austria).


I like the many sound possibilities you have with this pedal.
From a warm tone, to a metallic one.
From overdrive to heavy distortion.
It's also very small and light, and it works with battery so you don't have to plug it, but If you are playing a gig, you can plug it if you want to (with an optional adaptor).
I also like the price, even the Metal Zone is more expensive, though you don't have as many sound varieties.

Nothing...

Well, you can't handle the volume, tone, drive and colour switches with you foot (you can do this with other pedals like the Boss DS-1, because there, they are bigger and smoother to turn).

Like all Boss effect pedals, it has excellent quality.

I'd like to recommend this great pedal to everyone who is searching for a compromise between distortion and overdrive (or wants to have both if necessary), to everybody who thinks that the Metal Zone is too metal, and the DS-1 to sharp and meallic.
I was searching for it for a long time, and finally, I found it: OS-2
