« Boss Overdrive / Distortion OS-2 »
Published on 11/26/02 at 15:00I bought this pedal for 10LVL (it's about 17$ or so). I needed a distortion pedal to take to rehearsals and it was cheap, so - nothing to loose. I also read some reviews on the net and found it rather good.
What I like about it is that it has a knob for overdrive / distortion balance. If you need a cleaner, not-so-raw distortion (overdrive), turn the knob lower than 12 o'clock and if you need a distorted tone, turn it all the way up and you have distortion. It has rather "understandable" sound - no huge noise, a li-i-i-ttle hiss maybe.
What i really don't like about this unit is that it doesn't have any bass! You can't get a heavy chop out of it. That's what i really hate about it. No other dislikes.
It's BOSS. If you don't know what BOSS means, read this, if you do - skip this part. BOSS might mean Block Of Stainless Steel, i guess. It doesn't brake, it doesn't rust. It is indistructable peace of metal. You should never worry about quality of Boss products.
Well, it is Boss. Boss has made very many sorts of distortions for all kinds of guitar players. Fat distortion for fat players, thin distortion for thin players. This unit is for thin players then. You won't kill a beast with it, but you might make him fall in love with you, because this unit is light and beautiful.
