Boss OS-2 - A Pedal That Can Rescue Your Show
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 июл 2024
- The Boss OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion. Break glass in case of emergency - the OS-2 is a super durable piece of kit with a clever design premise: parallel overdrive and distortion circuits sharing a control set and a blend. Will it permanently replace your nicest classic drives? Probably not...BUT it can temporarily replace them pretty well!
We're giving away this OS-2 with a subtle mod we installed after this video - watch to the end for the comparisons.

the OS-2 was the second pedal I bought in high school with my dishwashing money, after the CH-1 and once I figured out that the "distortion" channel on the no-name practice amp I had sounded like total butt. honestly it might still be my favorite! it's such a cool way to get some "stacked pedal"-type sounds without needing two pedals. 2:00 on the color knob is such a great sound, I lived in that for years and years.
Never knew how versatile the OS-2 was!
Nice clip. I bought this pedal two days ago at the Guitarfair I organize yearly because it was cheap. I didn't listen to it (because I actually was too busy), but yesterday, when checking it out in my studio, at first I was somewhat disappointed. No big deal, but still. However, your video shines some light on the pedal and I will definitely check it out some more, following your advice to mix a little overdrive with the distortion! 👌
I got one one of these pedals in the early 2000s because I couldn't afford much equipment, and the OS-2 gave me options for classic rock tones as well as crunchier, more saturated metal sounds. I remember mentioning it to people when we talked setups and they'd say: 'not as good as either, in other words!' which may be true, but as you've just demonstrated that doesn't automatically mean bad.
This unit has been in production since 1990, that’s 33 years! It obviously still sells despite its pretty low profile. At certain settings it gives that perfect Keith Scott sound! Think Bryan Adams Reckless album!
🇺🇸 planting my flag here first! WOOOOOOOO
This pedal is only for those who has ears to hear. Can emulate any pedal/amp type; suited to any genre. It's also a good booster.
I have this pedal & love it. The blend feature is brilliant.
80% is good enough for me. The OS-2 is my favorite overall distortion pedal. It's everything you need and nothing else
Tones sound great brother! Always a joy to dig into some of the ideas Boss was trying back in the day.
Thanks! Yeah you called this one when I first hinted at it
Loved the tones
I like it for boosting my flubby Marshall 2205 and its the best with a little bit drive in and the color to od 😋
i want the boss os2 ❤
Yeahhhh buddy 🤘🏼
I prefer an SD-1 and a DS-1 stacked or just having another LM308 RAT as a backup.
Wooooaaaahh!!! Man!!
Jesus god that RAT sounded like a really bad earth at 5:28 just before you killed it.
And I’ll throw my name in. Love y’all
The distortion half of the OS-2 is basically a clone of the Rat. Knobs will have differing tapers perhaps, but the sounds should be there. Rare for boss to nick a circuit from another manufacturer, but the Rat is an excellent choice!
I came across one recently plugged it in and the first thing I thought was Rat. That’s fair to say.
I'd like to know the settings for each one in OS-2.
