BOSS OD-3 Overdrive

The first of the famous Boss overdrives was the the OD-1. It was an instant bestseller as it was the beginnings of a pedal with a Brit amp vibe. It was followed by the SD-1 which is totally different pedal. The SD-1 was literally a hot rodded Tube Screamer. Yes cloning has always been part of the game. That was followed by the OD-3 which strangely was again a totally different circuit. The SD-1 has survived because it is both great on it's own but it is an alternative to guys that play Metal through a proverbial stack as a killer Boost pedal. The OD-3 is still a killer for guys with combo's playing more of an early Metal or Blues rock thing. There is a new OD-3x but it is digital and to get to the point it has all the sonic problems of a cheap Modeled guitar sound.
CONCLUSION
I find it excels as an excellent Crunch sound when on some tunes even in Metal genres can get to busy or chord work is too dense sounding with other pedals. It tends to not get lost but not fight with the vocals.
Hello Paul!
ReplyDeleteWhat is your opinion on the Boss Turbo Overdrive OD-2 pedal?
Thank you!
I owned the turbo when it was new. It was pre-pedalboard days and it's honking mids did not fit well behind vocals well. The best I've heard and own is the TechNTone Turbo Nonna. It is a seriously good MIAB pedal that you can add the just right amount of Turbo to fatten it up as much or even too much to fit your rig.
