MGR/Anonymous « Boss OS-2 Overdrive / Distortion »
Published on 03/27/02 at 15:00Got this effect at Accent Music( in the nowhere that is Delaware)for $80.00. Thought it would expand the sound range of my fender deluxe amp.
If you crank the tone and drives high, you get a great grunge sound (on distortion).Cool overdrive, too.
Neither overdrive or distortion, combined or separate, are warm in the least. I've tried every tonal adjustment and it was still that raspy, stone-cold death metal sound. Also instead of having a moaning Marshall sound, it merely shrieks, with an annoying, ear-piercing tone. I had wanted to mimic the sound of my $180 marshall box on my new amp, but I just wasted $80. Was looking for a Hendrix tone, warm and endless to run my strat through(Texas Special, so it's not the problem).Not for a fender guy
Well made, though. It's Boss, what do you expect?
Not my kind of effect, but alot of that is a personal thang
