SD-1 Super Overdrive

BOSS SD-1 SUPER OVERDRIVE What We Say: Similar to the OD-3 but designed to be smoother and a bit more subtle. It might be worth comparing the two in a shoot-out. What They Say: ”…The SD-1 Super OverDrive pedal produces the warm, natural distortion of an overdriven tube amplifier while maintaining...

OS-2 Overdrive / Distortion

BOSS OS-2 OVERDRIVE / DISTORTION What We Say: An interesting idea from Boss, blending an overdrive with a distortion. It could work well. I’d be interested in checking this one out. What They Say: ”…The OS-2 gives players a choice of overdrive or distortion or lets them combine both–all in...

OD-3 Overdrive

BOSS OD-3 OVERDRIVE What We Say: A surprisingly good pedal! The OD-3 is a surprisingly smooth Overdrive. It isn’t transparent by any means but it does add some musical EQ into your tone. It has a decent amount of gain on tap and the tone knob is reassuringly responsive. If your struggling...

MT-2 Metal Zone

BOSS MT-2 METAL ZONE What We Say: The title of the pedal doesn’t fill me with much hope, but I am yet to try it out. This ‘Metal,’ over the top distortion is not really my thing. If it is your thing then it may well be worth checking out....

ML-2 Metal Core

BOSS ML-2 METAL CORE What We Say: The word ‘MetalCore’ often fills grown men with fear but before you turn away check out Ernesto’s review (in the reviews area) and I think you will be surprised at how highly he rates this pedal. It scored a fantastic 9/10 and proves...

MD-2 Mega Distortion

BOSS MD-2 MEGA DISTORTION What We Say: Whenever I see the word Mega followed by Distortion, or Metal Distortion, I cringe in fear. However, from scouting the net for clips of this I wasn’t as offended as I usually am by pedals claiming to have ‘extreme low-end distortion.’ It actually...

FZ-5 Fuzz

BOSS FZ-5 FUZZ What We Say: The FZ-5 Fuzz pedal makes use of Boss’ ’state-of-the-art’ COSM modelling technology. I am not a fan of modelling and this pedal does nothing to convert me. I think I will stick to the classic EHX Big Muff! That said, if you wish to...

BOSS FDR-1 FENDER ‘65 DELUXE REVERB What We Say: This Boss pedal is designed to emulate the sound of that classic amp, the ‘65 Deluxe Reverb. It is designed to give your amp the characters and tones of the old Fender classic. I have never tried it, and to be...

DS-2 Turbo Distortion

BOSS DS-2 TURBO DISTORTION What We Say: The DS-2 is designed to be the ‘all-in-one’ distortion box. Mode one has a very similar sound to the classic DS-1 distortion whilst mode two injects a smooth mid-range boost into your signal, perfect for brining out the guitar for a solo, or other lead part. You...
