Boss OS2 Overdrive and Distortion PedalThe OS-2 gives players a choice of overdrive or distortion or lets them combine both -- all in a single compact pedal. Its distortion maintains the subtle nuances of single-coil guitar pickups. Feature: The sound is very adjustable, and I really like the "color" knob. I personally like to keep mine nice and bright. Quality: Boss pedals are made to last, and this is no exception Value: Cheaper than some of the other better boss distortion pedals, and definitely the best sounding. Desirability: If you think nacho-cheese yellow is sexy -- and I do. Sound: An awesome crunching, clear, and bright sound. Doesn't sound too buzz-saw like, like a metal pedal or something. Buzz-saw sounds are fine, but this pedal doesn't have that. It is very loud, louder than other boss pedals I have used, and when you hit the pedal, your sound has that ripping effect like you just set something free. Kinda Nirvana-like in that way. Think Pennyroyal Tea. Or Today, by the Smashing Pumpkins. Not that the sound is exclusively early-90s grunge, because is it isn't. Overall: This pedal will always be part of my repotoire. guitar fx box |
