Members goth70 0 Posted May 15, 2008 Members Share Posted May 15, 2008 As incredible as it sounds, I have never in my life owned a Boss pedal. So I thought I'd ask you guys. My friend (guitar hero fanatic becoming an aspiring real player) wants to get a Boss because its in her price range. I have no experience with them. The OD-3 is never in stock locally. What are the differences between the Overdrive and the Super Overdrive? Is it just more gain with the super, or is there a tone difference? I assume they are TS-9 based???? She almost sent off for a Line 6 Crunchtone today based on clips, but I said let's ask the forum first, Boss is probably better if you are going cheap. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members IvIark 0 Posted May 15, 2008 Members Share Posted May 15, 2008 SD-1 is great into a growling tube amp, but it's designed to cut bass so probably won't be great for a full overdrive tone into a clean amp. Depends on the rest of the gear Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members goth70 0 Posted May 15, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 15, 2008 Exactly why are you in love with your OD-3?? What do you like about it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members goth70 0 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 Well if it cuts bass the Super is out of the running. She has a little VOX. A 15 watter or whatever the smallest tube combo that they make. She just wants some dirt at living room volumes. She's just a chord-er likes the jangly pop and alternative stuff. No wailing solos or SRV stuff. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members SurveyofSociety 0 Posted May 16, 2008 Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 i have an OS 2 and i love it to bits!! it's not as warm or subtle as my tube screamer but still you get sexy overdrive and heavy distortion!! two pedals in one... the colour knob is quite sensitive which i like.... but i always have issues with the tone control though, dont know why... maybe its my amp, but im particular with tone controls on pedals. on the MT2 theres a great EQ selection but i dont like pedals that just give you the one tone control between high and low Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Members smurphy28 0 Posted May 16, 2008 Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 AnalogMan modifies a SD-1 which adds more bass and depth to it's sound. I really like his mod. Makes it more tubescreamer like but with more bite. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members goth70 0 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 I do not conduct research. I make demands like a little bitch and have people with nothing better to do spoon-feed me the answers. Wha ha ha. Just for that I will not buy your stinky overdrive. Why would somebody spend 35 bucks for your used pedal when they can walk into any guitar center and buy it new for 40 bucks ten minutes later? Seriously thanks for the responses. I will take the pretty girl's advice and take my friend to get her OD-3. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

What echo said, and also it is just about the most transparent overdrive I have ever used. And I've used a lot... OCD V.3 Throbak Overdrive Boost Dr. Scientist Woofer Wailer DBA Interstellar Overdrive EHX English Muffn' Boss BD-2 (Analog Man) So I guess what I'm saying is that she could do a lot worse than an OD-3 for her first pedal:cop: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Members goth70 0 Posted May 16, 2008 Author Members Share Posted May 16, 2008 Not easy being white??????WTF? I'm just kidding around with the guy. I did not research the pedals on this forum because.......try typing Boss and Overdrive into the search box. 9 billion two hundred million hits. It was just easier to ask.
