About Boss Pedals
The history of Boss reads like the history of guitar effects. From their legendary CE-1 chorus pedal (the big gray box that started it all) to the world's favorite line of compact pedals, they've been responsible for more guitar innovations than just about anyone else.

Boss's compact pedal line-up began in 1977 with the classic OD-1 Overdrive. Its warm, smooth overdrive sounds and breakthrough Boss pedal features (heavy-duty construction, rubber pads on top and bottom, recessed control knobs, silent switching, a built-in LED, and easy battery replacement) immediately set it apart from other stomp boxes on the market. It established the masterful design for all other Boss effects pedals since.

Throughout the years, Boss has continued to define the cutting edge of guitar effects. Double-layer circuit boards allowed pedals like the DD-5 Digital Delay to deliver studio-quality effects comparable to rackmount units. They recently brought bassists and guitarists the first bass synthesizer in a compact pedal, the SYB-3. On their 20th anniversary they proudly introduced the OD-3 Overdrive, a pedal that takes the smooth, dynamic overdriven tones of the legendary OD-1 to a whole new level. Like all Boss products, it is a level of sound quality and durability that is unrivaled.
Uses 9-volt battery or PSA-120 adapter (not included).

"this is the most versitile bass overdrive/ distortion pedal i've ever played on"
I've played on several distortion pedals on the bass including the DOD Bass Grunge, Boss DS-1, Boss FZ-3 Boss BD-2, Big Muff, the Rat, and the ODB-3. The ODB-3 can have anything from a mild, barely there drive to full blown sizzle. It can have tight highs and/ or perfect lows. The only other thing I've played that even comes close is the tube overdrive on the Digitech BP-8.

"filthy ruthless distortion!!!!"
Feature:
i gave this a seven , not because the onboard features deserve it, they are great! just wish it cme with an ac adapter.it eats up batteries fast enough to warrant one. why should i have to pay $20 for something that should come standard? WTF?!

Quality:
it's a boss, what more can be said? you could pobably beat the s#*) out of this thing with a sledgehammer and then bring it to a gig

Value:
i searched for a long tim for a pedal that would give me the sound i wanted for under $100. this is the only one i could find. definitely worth every penny.

Desirability:
not that pretty, taxicb yellow and all, but i still can't imagine playing hat i play without it

Sound:
i play sludge/doom/powergroove, and so far this pedal has given me the bonecrunching filthy sound that i have ben looking for. sure it does feedback at high gai, but i have found that if you position yourself and the pedala few extra feet away from your amp , then no problem.( and what is wrong with alittle feedback anyway?)i play both an ibanez soudgear 5 str. and a washburn fretless, tuned to b they both resonate excellently through this pedal.

Ease of Use:
plug it in,dial it in,stomp and destroy the audience!!!!!! it even comes with a few suggested setting in case you need some help, or if you are just learning. just about every tone is coverd in the owners manual.

Support:
don't know; never needed to use them(refer to the quality comments)

Overall:
i don't think i will ever need another pedal.this one fits me like socks on a rooster!!if it was ever stolen, i would run out and get another that day.

Style of Music: sludge, doom, powergroove, thrash and all things metal
