Drive Tones, Boost, and Gate in a Single Pedal

Offering 12 distinct drive modes plus a convenient three-band EQ for fine-tuning your tone, the BOSS OD-200 Hybrid Drive Pedal may be one of the most versatile overdrive/distortion pedals you'll find. Looking for edge-of-breakup, amp-style grit? It's here. Need '80s-style face-melting distortion? You'll find it here too, and everything in between. And if you need to cover a lot of styles in a single set, you'll appreciate the ability to connect external controllers like footswitches, expression pedal, and MIDI controllers for advanced control options. If you're looking for a does-everything drive pedal that actually does everything really well, you definitely need to check out the BOSS OD-200 Hybrid Drive Pedal.

Advanced gate circuit for ultra-tight high-gain tones

Few things feel as empowering as cranking up the gain and chugging some palm-muted riffs on your guitar at high volume — and few things sound as sloppy when you're not gating your signal. Thankfully, the BOSS OD-200 Hybrid Drive Pedal that eliminates noise and tightens your sound without deadening your attack transients, eliminating your need for a dedicated gate pedal.

Boost function with your choice of pre- or post-gain operation

Guitarists at Sweetwater know the value of having a boost pedal or two on your pedalboard, and thankfully the BOSS OD-200 offers a boost function with flexibility. Want to boost your volume going into your overdrive or distortion to push it over the edge? Set the boost to pre-gain operation. Want to push your amplifier over the top without changing your core overdrive tone? Set the boost to post-gain operation. These settings are saved with your custom presets, so you can tailor the boost function to every custom patch you create.

Digital that doesn't sound digital

The OD-200 combines the best of analog and digital drive technology to deliver tone you'll be proud to crank up. Even at extreme gain values, the BOSS OD-200 drive tones sound complex and dynamic, thanks to internal 32-bit digital processing and 96kHz resolution.

BOSS OD-200 Hybrid Drive Pedal Features:

  • Overdrive and distortion effects pedal with 12 distinct drive modes
  • 3-band EQ allows you to fine-tune your tone for any application and any instrument
  • Switchable gate function tightens up your sound and reduces noise in high-gain applications
  • Boost function can be set to pre-gain operation to push your drive, or post-gain to increase volume without altering your drive tone
  • Four memory slots allow you to save and instantly recall your own custom patches
  • Ample support for external controllers including expression pedal and MIDI I/O (MIDI cables sold separately)
  • Panel Lock function allows you to lock the controls to prevent unwanted changes
  • High-quality 32-bit digital conversion with 96kHz resolution for pristine sound quality even at extreme gain settings
  • Buffered bypass maintains your tone even over long cable runs
  • Micro USB jack for future functionality expansion via firmware updates

Way better than expected!

I decided to try out the MD-200 first. It was so good I bought the DD and OD as well. They are all exceptional! However this OD was the biggest surprise of the bunch. I play several different guitars and all I've got to do is select a different saved preset until I find the one that works for whatever I'm playing. Plus the manual mode is great to mess with if I'm in the mood for something different. I've replaced tons of individual pedals with these three boxes. They've cured my G.A.S. for new pedals! No more constant rotation.

Hot and Sweet

Having 105 pedals I kept looking for the one who cut the mustard. This one not only cuts the mustard but it slices and dices too. Smooth creamy tone is so easy to achieve. AJ took care again and I am enjoying this pedal, as long as my 21 son keeps his gand off it. Yea, he loves the tone too.

The Most Versatile OD/Hybrid Drive on the Market

The Brown Sound on it alone is worth it. I like the Boost function that you can use in tandem with the OD you select. I find it very easy to dial in your sound. A favorite of mine is the Brown Sound and Fuzz. Also, try the Parallel parameter to have your OD and Boost work in parallel with each other. you can't go wrong with this.
Rated 5/5

Honestly shocked how much I like this.

I bought this hoping and praying to simplify my board for my surf band. I had a cheap noise gate to kill 60 cycle hum, a very light OD and a clean boost (usually Pantheon and TC Spark). The dream was get this and replace all three, leaving more spacing room on my board. This thing is very much marketed as a flexible high gain tool. I didn't really expect it to be good at clean to very low gain boosting, but good lord this thing delivers. Stacking the Blues Driver with a Centaur boost really kicks my Quilter Mach 3 into another universe. Everything is cutting, clear, punchy, as much or as little gain as I want to dial in. My rig never sounded better. And now my pedalboard is less jam packed, simpler, yet more versatile. I also play higher gain stuff outside of my main band and it of course kicks butt for this too. Totally blown away by this thing. I claimed I hated digital drives every day up until the day this arrived. To be fair, I still don't like most digital drives I've tried, but this one is different.

High gain heaven!

The sound few other pedals can make:

Parallel fuzz and Metal Zone / Metal Core / X-Metal, as quiet as you want with the included noise gate. The distortion side controls the bite and punch, the fuzz side controls the harmonic complexity.

I think the Source Audio pedals can do this sound also, but since I don't have them I cannot be sure. What this pedal has that the only competitor (in the blended fuzz/metal distortion area) lacks is a MIDI out.

I know this pedal is supposed to be versatile, and maybe it is, but that sweet blended fuzz and metal distortion is so fantastic that I never turn it off.

I must add that one's speaker cab and EQ following this pedal make a huge contribution to the sound. I use it into an MXR 10 band and then an IR box with a Fryette speaker cab on one side, with their Eminence speakers, and a DP-77 speaker on the other side. Other IRs don't make quite the same heavenly roar.
