Back with a second review!
The Boss OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion! This pedal is a great idea from the industrial Boss. So without further or do, ill get straight to the review. Big rhymes.
I started out with Boss pedals, theyre built like a brick shit house, and have some solid sounds. I have 5 other Boss pedals
The pedal aims to provide both distortion and overdrive in a compact unit, with an awesome blend feature where you can have a mixture between the two settings, which gave me the sound I had been searching for.
4 knobs:
Level: Volume level of the pedal
Tone: Sound of the pedal
Drive: Amount of overdrive or distortion added
Colour: The blend control, from complete distortion, complete overdrive, and everything inbetween.
Pros
Colour: This blend feature is superb, offering a large array of sounds, my personal favourite being bang in the middle, with a little extra distortion, creating a high gain overdrive effect.
Tone: Yet another varied bag of tones, again fit for any personalised guitarist.
cost: I bought this from amazon a while ago £59.99, which is a massive bargain for anyone looking for a decent unit like this.
Cons
Drive: sometimes i find the drive levels are abit lacking. It doesnt really change past the 3oclock stage, i was hoping for a massive burst of gain.
Summary
This is a great pedal if youre looking for a personal, varied distortion/overdrive, adn will cater for those needs. A great cheap pedal for a rainy day.
Boss OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion: 7/10
looking into that looks sick
ReplyDeleteLooks lovely, i've always been a fan of Boss pedals, you can always rely on them.
ReplyDeleteI like the Super Overdrive more, It gives that extra boost I need, because my amp distortion is too 'mellow'.
