In this video, Sam takes a look at the OD-1X Overdrive, part of Boss's X range of digital DSP stomp boxes, comparing it to the standard analog OD-3 pedal...

The first Boss overdrives pedals were released over 35 years ago, and they’ve been helping to shape the tone of rock and blues music ever since. The current standard Boss overdrive is the OD-3, a great sounding analog pedal and one of our best sellers. Whilst it may look very similar, the OD-1X is a completely different beast though…

Cosmetically, these new X range of pedals are virtually identical to every other Boss pedal. They’ve got the same apocalypse proof housing, come supplied with a 5 year warranty and they run off a 9v battery or optional power supply…but they do have this cool shiny control plate and chrome knobs.The real big difference is at the heart of the pedal…where as the OD-3 is a classic analog overdrive, the OD-1X is powered by Boss’s state-of-the-art multi-dimension processing, or MDP, digital processor. This powerful, real time processor adapts to the way you play, providing the ideal overdrive tones depending on dynamics and register.Very easy to use, there’s controls for volume, overdrive gain and low and high EQ controls. Bu because it’s digital, the OD-1X has a very low noise floor, even at higher gain levels and the volume and EQ controls have a wider tone shaping range than most conventional analog pedals. Tonally, it offers a high clarity overdrive that’s smooth and refined, it’s extra responsive to volume changes and picking dynamics. This digital processing preserves the unique characteristics of your guitar and pickups, instead of muddying the tone like some analogue pedals do.
