Boss OD-1X Overdrive Pedal

No longer available at zZounds
Boss' MDP processing reads your guitar's sonic characteristics and your playing to create the rich and musical overdrive you'll hear from the OD-1X pedal.

Boss ushers overdrive into the modern age with the OD-1X Overdrive Pedal. Using adaptive signal processing, the OD-1X has more playability than conventional overdrive pedals, so its tone will be smooth when want it and loud when you need it. There's high and low tone controls so you can tune in a diverse range of tonal characteristics with warm tone with natural compression that'll make your axe glow.

The OD Heritage

As one of the first three stompboxes Boss ever released, the OD-1 became the standard for what an effect pedal should be. With the versatility to play everything from warm natural overdrive to screaming leads, this yellow metal box became the go-to effects unit for musicians of all walks of life.

Boss Multi-Dimensional Processing

Driven by custom DSPs and Boss's innovative Multi-Dimensional Processing (MDP) platform, the OD-1X offers greater tonal clarity than traditional analog stompboxes. That means you can play at any register without having to bend over to tweak your settings. The OD-1X is also more responsive than conventional footpedals allowing you to play solos or strum chords with the same level of clarity.

Special Edition Style

The OD-X1 is specially finished with chrome knobs and control plate exclusive to this product line. Boss even threw in a vintage-style silver battery compartment access knob granting the OD-1X a uniquely sophisticated look.

I was drawn to this pedal because I already own the Boss DA2. Boss's Multi Dimensional Processing features a clarity unattainable without it. I use this OD-1X for my slightly dirty overdrive, and the DA-2 for heavier dirt. When dialing in some low end, it never turns "flubby" or "mushy", but always clear, so your actual playing is accurately represented.
