BOSS OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion Pedal Review by Sweetwater Sound

Let's check out another classic BOSS pedal, the OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion pedal! This iconic yellow BOSS pedal has been rockin' guitarists for decades with its extremely wide-ranging sonic range. It really does a good job of covering the whole gain range, from subtle, gritty overdrive to full-on distortion.

With just Level, Tone, Drive, and Color controls you can completely change your guitar sound with a few knob turns. The Color knob in particular has a profound effect on your tone, changing the midrange cut or boost in a very noticeable way. I found myself using the tone control to shave some of the highs off heavily distorted settings, and using it to add some brightness with gentler overdrive settings.

In all, the BOSS OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion is an extremely versatile and highly useful pedal to have. Thanks for watching!
