Not an overdrive. If you are looking for an overdrive this pedal will surely disapoint you. I can only compare this to one other pedal and that is a triangle era big muff. Very close in sound. If you like that sound, you will like this pedal.
I came to this pedal with no expectation at all. I had no idea what it would sound like. Overall I think this a pretty good effort from boss. I think the word driver is what puts people off. They think they are going to get a really powerfull overdrive sound and they get a fuzz/distortion instead.
Someone said this is digital, um...that would surprise me very much. I'm pretty sure it's analog.
You can get some david gilmour tones with this. Smashing pumpkins, mudhoney etc... Not a revolutionary sound, you've heard it before, but not from a boss size pedal.
I prefer this to the NYC and Russian big muffs because it sounds more like the vintage triangle muff meaning little more clear and less saturated than the later muffs.
Reliability/Durability:
Ease of Use:
Kinda tricky with the tone controls. They are very active and effect the distorion character.

Overall Rating:
A nice pedal from boss. Not mind blowing but better than some people give it credit for.
