Boss OD-1 OverDrive

Brand: Boss · Category: Overdrive · Released: 1977

The original Boss overdrive and the asymmetrical-clipping ancestor behind a lot of yellow and green arguments.

The Boss OD-1 helped define the compact overdrive pedal. Its asymmetrical clipping gives it a rougher, more amp-like edge than a perfectly smooth drive, and its two-knob layout keeps the focus on pushing an amp rather than sculpting every frequency.
