Love it.
Play this through a Fender Twin reverb, a Vox AC15/30...
I've done the "A/B" thing comparing my individual pedals

Yes there is quite a bit of work to dial in which tone/sound you want, because you can spend hours on just one distortion or overdrive, and I've even bought many other pedals while owning this pedal and ended up selling them because the OD20 really nails the OD/Distortion I need...
I guess the only setback if I needed to try to say something bad about this pedal is it's not analog or "boutique-y" and the grass is always greener on the other side... but it's all you really need... seriously. close [-]

This pedal is excellent! I love it! You can basically get any kind of overdrive/distortion from just this pedal. My favorite thing about the OD-20 is that you can save up to 4 presets, so when you fin... read more [+]d that perfect sound you can save it and never have to worry about memorizing different settings or anything. Excellent sound quality just like Boss always offers. OUTSTANDING! close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Matt Adams
I love this pedal. If you could only have one distortion pedal to cover a wide variety of genres, the OD-20 is the pedal to have. It's a no brainer! Simple to use, plus you get four user settings for storing your favs. Why clutter up your pedal board if you can get it all in one unit? Buy the OD-20!

Our Customers Say...

When it came time to start from scratch with the studio, I had a lot of questions. The Sales Engineers I've worked with are really friendly and patient, and the guidance they provided was invaluable; they basically helped build the studio.
