collapse expand iconDescription

From the legendary engineers at Boss comes the OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion. This powerful effects pedal packs the punch of two pedals in one, offering a range of overdriven tones and high-gain distortions to suit any playing style. The OS-2's four onboard controls—Level, Tone, Drive, and Color—provide a wealth of customization options for guitarists seeking full, rich overdrive, aggressive distortion or a blend of both.

Shape Your Overdrive and Distortion Sounds

The OS-2's Drive control adjusts the amount of overdrive or distortion. Dial it back for a subtle crunch or crank it up for intense saturation. The Color control shapes the overall tone, from a warmer, more tube-like overdrive to a brighter, more cutting distortion. Use the Level control to balance the effected signal with your clean tone. Finally, the Tone control cuts or boosts treble frequencies for the perfect timbre.

Blend Overdrive and Distortion Together

What sets the OS-2 apart is its ability to blend overdrive and distortion. This integration provides more tonal choices than using two separate pedals in series. You can transition smoothly from overdrive to distortion and everywhere in between. The OS-2 is also designed to preserve the nuances of single-coil pickups so your guitar's unique voice always shines through.

Road-Ready and Built to Last

Like all Boss pedals, the OS-2 is built to withstand years of use. Its rugged metal chassis and footswitches stand up to the rigors of the road. Battery or power supply operation provides convenience in any playing situation. For guitarists seeking a flexible, gig-worthy overdrive and distortion solution, the Boss OS-2 delivers.

An Arsenal of Dirt in One Pedal

The OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion offers guitarists an essential and powerful tone-shaping tool. This innovative pedal provides a range of overdriven and distorted sounds to suit any genre or playing style. Dial in anything from mild drive to high-gain saturation using the OS-2's intuitive controls.

    I was pleasantly surprised with this pedal, and all of ground that it covered. I figured that it'd probably only have a single good sound in it, but I found that it was pretty responsive and playable, as long as I kept the tone knob in check. It also had a great range of gain, which seemed pretty extensive for an overdrive pedal. The distortion section also sounded great, and played just as well as any distortion pedal out there. And when blended together, I got tones that you don't usually get with a single pedal on its own. Definitely a winner here.
