There are 22 models to choose from, plus new "Attack Shape" and "Heavy Octave" parameters for dialing in subtle nuances or extreme tones. You can even switch amp channels remotely using the OD-20's Amp Control jack.

All Your Favorite Overdrive/Distortion Sounds
Thanks to COSM technology, the OD-20 can faithfully recreate the sound of the most popular overdrive/distortion pedals in history. You get all the Boss classics like the OD-1, DS-1, and MT-2, plus boutique pedals and many other classics - 22 in all! There's also 6 new overdrive and distortion sounds ranging from mellow crunch to bottom-heavy distortion and screaming metal.

New "Attack Shape" and "Heavy Octave" Knobs
Using Attack Shape, guitarists can adjust the overdrive model's response to match their playing. So if you're really digging into the strings, the OD-20 will be right there with you. There's also a new Heavy Octave control which produces low octave sounds for any notes played below the 4th fret of the 4th string - great for simulating thick 7-string type sounds heard in modern rock music.

I've been messing with the 4 programable memories & have dialed in some amazing tones!
The VERY cool "Heavy Octave' feature allows you to dial in overtones on the low strings, like a mock droped tune, or 7th string. Using it at very small quantities sorta gives you that heavy Zakk tone!
This is one HELL of a box & I HIGHLY suggest that you check one out at your local shop ASAP!

"Beat This!"
Feature:
If there were any more features, it would be a pedalboard.

Quality:
Frankly, I wouldn't worry about it. You can bash it all you want to, but it's just not going to break.

Value:
I don't know, which sounds better to you? $200 or $2000?

Desirability:
I think this pedal makes a bold statement with the color yellow, but it really hits home with the size. Not too big, not too small, and the pads on the bottom stick like crazy.

Sound:
This pedal's sound is perfect! No feedback whatsoever. I'm starting to think that BOSS stole the cicuitry straight out of the other pedals.

Overall:
I'd like to see someone else try and top that.
