Manufacturer's Description for Boss OD-20 Drive Zone Twin Overdrive and Distortion Pedal

22 Killer Overdrive/Distortion Pedals Right Beneath Your Feet!
The OD-20 Drive Zone uses advanced COSM technology to model the sound of classic overdrive/distortion pedals of the past 30 years, as well as creating new sounds of its own. 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.

Features

Models classic and modern overdrive/distortion pedals like BOSS OD-1 and MT-2, plus many other vintage and boutique pedals

Attack Shape control adjusts overdrive's response dynamics to your playing

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. zZounds is an authorized dealer of Boss products.

"Beat This!"

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. 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? The Wow Factor: 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. Overall: I'd like to see someone else try and top that.

Style of Music: Metal/Rock
