I own several overdrive pedals and this one is my favorite. I keep coming back to it, even for metal. I might stack it with a DS1 or an MXR Timmy if I need more gain. I do wish I could get the knob descriptions re applied to the chrome faceplate. It's half rubbed off from me trying to keep it clean. It doesn't take polishing very well so… you can't keep it looking good but it does sound great.

This pedal became the basic EQ for my set-up. After receiving and using a short while, sold my Boss GE-7. OD-1X is an overdrive, if attenuated on higher settings, but love what it does for overall tone flavor when set subtly. Works well with Quilter Aviator Cub amp, other pedals, and Keeley Super Phat Mod and Zeus OD. It's like having three unique OD pedals for different purposes and tone stacking too. Wished I had known about long ago. Had a hunch after years of reading about it, and even much better than expected.

This thing is an overdrive and mud cleaner in one. Don't need to reduce gain for clarity it'll boost fully distorted amps into clear chunky bliss.

Just got this pedal yesterday and tried it out last night. I was hoping that it would be as nice as my Boss DA-2 Adaptive Distortion pedal,
which is no longer made and I was NOT disappointed. These pedals seem to have sustain for days even with a single coil pickup style
guitar. Keep in mind that it is an Overdrive pedal so for me, I run the gain all the way up. It is surprisingly quiet even when the gain control
is cranked all the way up and has incredible note articulation no matter what register that you are playing in on the guitar.

I guess I'm getting hooked on the Boss pedals that have the MDP (Multi Dimensional Processing) system in them. That is another reason
why I have used and kept my DA-2 pedal for so long. Most Overdrive/Distortion pedals can become overly noisy especially any time that you
want to crank up the gain but not to my ears with this OD-1X.

If you are tired of the noise coming out of your older 3 knob Boss pedals, give this one a try. I think you will be surprised. I tried it with both
a single coil guitar and a humbucker equipped guitar and was happy with how it sounds with both.

Hope this helps for those searching for their particular sound.

After trying quite a few different OverDrive and Distortion pedals to add to my pedalboard, I finally settled on two- Fulltone's OCD and this one. I primarily use a Gibson Les Paul and Marshall half-stack, but this pedal sounds good with a Strat. and Fender amp as well.

This pedal is remarkable and I knew within a few minutes of trying it that this was a keeper. The tones it produces are rich, pure, and simply sound glorious. I'm not quite sure how to adequately describe it, but it just has a unique tone. I especially love playing heavy/chunky chords with this pedal.

Although this pedal generally gets good reviews, I am surprised how few reviews it gets. Some people may dismiss it as just another Boss OD-1, but it is not like it's predecessor. It's impressive!

Incidentally, I also tried the Boss DS-1X thinking it would be similarly as impressive. Nope- unfortunately it was not- how disappointing. Nevertheless, the OD-1X is a keeper!
