Boss OS-2 Overdrive / Distortion Pedal

Overdrive and Distortion Pedal Effects Pedal for Guitar and Bass with Level, Tone, Drive, and Color Controls’

Overdrive and Distortion — 2 Pedals in 1!

BOSS’s popular OS-2 OverDrive/Distortion pedal is like having two in-your-face effects pedals in one. With it, you can conjure tubelike overdrive sounds, immense distortion flavors, or a massive combination of the two. The OS-2 gives you four onboard controls (Level, Tone, Drive, and Color) for summoning your sound. Drive it hard or give your tone that perfect subtle crunch — the choice is up to you! Whether you play single-coils or humbuckers, guitarists are confident you’ll love the BOSS OS-2’s ability to dial in the perfect combination of overdriven and distorted tones.

Have it your way with overdrive, distortion, or a blend of the two

Can’t decide between overdrive and distortion or wish you could find the perfect place between the two? You’ve found your pedal. The BOSS OS-2 OverDrive/Distortion effects pedal lets you dial in a huge range of flavor. You can call up a fat distortion tone, then drive it hard. And you can dial in whatever range of color you like best. For tweaking, there are four controls in all: Level, Tone, Drive, and Color.

Preserves the subtle nuances of single-coil pickups

Some distortion pedals really hit you in the face (which is great), but many take away the subtle dynamics and nuances you love about your single-coil pickups. If you’re feeling like your intricate playing is being lost to a huge wall of distortion, then you owe the BOSS OS-2 OverDrive/Distortion Pedal a shot. BOSS designed the OS-2 to give you that same huge distortion sound you love, while maintaining the detail in your single-coil sound. That said, it’s going to give you a tremendous result when paired with your humbucking-equipped guitar, too.

BOSS guitar pedals: rugged, reliable, more than 10M sold

More than 10,000,000 BOSS guitar and bass effects pedals have been sold to players worldwide, including such top players as Yngwie Malmsteen, Dave Navarro, John Petrucci, Marty Friedman, Steve Vai, and Joe Satriani. You’ve also no doubt heard BOSS overdrive pedals recorded and onstage beneath the feet of bands of all genres, including Muse, The Killers, and Silversun Pickups. The reason for the success is clear: not only do BOSS pedals sound great, but they’re also built like tanks and designed with serious use in mind. Each BOSS pedal is housed in a stomp-ready metal box and features a rubberized stomp area and base, to help safeguard against slipping. So, whether you’re a fresh-out-of-the-gate beginner, an axe-veteran designing your dream pedalboard, or anywhere in between, you can depend on BOSS’s proven line of pedals to craft your tone.
