Dial in new realms of overdrive and distortion.

The Boss OS-2 OverDrive/Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal delivers killer separate overdrive and distortion effects that you can combine for cool blended effects! This integration gives you more options than using serially connected units. Best of all the OS-2 is designed to provide raunchy, hard distortion while maintaining the nuances of single-coil pickups. Level, Tone, Drive, and Color controls offer plenty of tweakability.

Boss OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion Guitar Effects Pedal Features:

• Smooth overdrive and hard distortion
• Combine and blend for unique sounds
• Works great with single-coil pickups
• Level, Tone, Drive, and Color controls

Why use a standard overdrive or distortion pedal when you can have both in one stompbox? Order now!

Definitely the best pedal for its value. I've used this pedal almost daily for 3 years, and it has never failed me. Run thru a Fender Tele with a Duncan Hot Rails on the bridge to a '65 deluxe reissue. Without a doubt, one of the best sounding pedals out there.

I love this pedal. I play this with a custom SG (triple humbucker). I can dial in so many different tones with this one pedal, that sometimes I wish I had three of them to keep at different settings. Very versatile.

It's not often I can give a product 5 stars across the board, but this one deserves it. Wow. It literally is two pedals in one, and very reasonably priced. The overdrive and distortion both sound great!! I'm using a Crate V-Series tube amp, so I can't say how it would sound with a solid state amp. Using my American Series Strat, I kid you not, the single coiled Strat sounds like an LP! And when I plugged in my Gibson LP...WHOA!!! Probably the best pedal acquisition I've made in a LONG time!

I bought the boss os-2 a few months back because it had more punch than the ds-1, and I think it sounded great because before the os-2 I have been using a line 6 pod xt live, and there is no comparison the os-2 has so much more tone and feel than the line 6 xt live.

I purchased this pedal from MF after listening to the sound clips on the Boss website, and it sounded like it would suit my needs. And when I plugged it into my Peavey Classic combo, I realized it does suit my needs. Basically, the pedal is deceiving in that it isn't 2 pedals in one, but sounds best as a mixture of the 2. Only overdrive is nice with a little gain, but it is extremely compressed, and the distortion only mode is super fuzzy. Setting the color to anywhere between 9o'clock and 3o'clock will give you delight for a few hours b/c you can mess around and find some super unique sounding overdrive/distortion tones, which was exactly what I was looking for.
