Up for auction is a great sounding and versatile overdrive pedal. It's a Boss OD-3 and it's a good one. Who hasn't been heard of Boss pedals. Been around forever. Everyone back in the day owned at least one Boss pedal and they are still around because guitar players around the world use them and trust the quality and tone of their pedals. Many now are true classics that other "boutique" builders copy. There is something reassuring about the look of their pedals. They've never changed. You can tell it's a Boss pedal from a mile away. Best of all they won't break the bank.
The BOSS OD-3 Overdrive is a transparent, natural overdrive pedal. Built in the tradition of other legendary BOSS overdrives, the OD-3 Overdrive pedal gives guitarists a greatly expanded range of smooth overdrive tones and improved response. Its dual-stage overdrive circuit offers a superior level of sustain and compression. Increased dynamics yield a ‘bigger’ sound than any previous BOSS overdrive pedal and its dynamic, non-muffled tones are reminiscent of classic overdriven "stack" amps.
It will respond to your picking dynamics and clean up as you turn down your guitar's volume control. See last paragraph for some more detailed description.
I actually bought three of these pedals, from a music store that went out of business. All were brand new, in the box, and had never been played prior to me owning them. I sold one and will be keeping one. The pedal you will be bidding on, I have played this pedal twice in my home studio. Last time was prior to listing. The pedal functions properly and sounds great. Comes with the original box and all paperwork.
Lots of info online and some good you tube videos. I urge you to check those out. I will be listing other pedals and guitar related equipment. Check my listings for some great deals. I ship out items quickly.
I pack up items properly and ship out quickly. I do use ebay's Global shipping for all international shipping. Please do not bid if you are not willing to use that service.
Below is some additional info I found online:
At first glance, the Boss OD-3 OverDrive effects unit is just one more in the company’s wide range of distortion/overdrive pedals. It’s reasonably priced, it’s got the Boss brand name, and it’s a fresh iteration on an old classic. That’s a great starting point, but it doesn’t bring anything new to the table. After all, the Boss overdrive family is so large at this point, that one has to question whether or not this pedal can really hold its own alongside its predecessors. Bear in mind that Boss’s current lineup features such classics as the Blues Driver, the Super OverDrive and, of course, the now legendary OD-1 – the first-ever overdrive pedal.
The OD-3 aims to build upon its predecessors by having better response times, a wider range of tones, and a smoother sound. This analogue effect unit not only has an impressively dynamic range but, thanks to its two-stage overdrive circuit, it delivers a sound that is rich, powerful, and incredibly versatile. It also comes complete with a five-year warranty, which is always nice for your peace of mind.
Now, as we said before, the OD-3 is incredibly versatile, to the point where, if they wanted to, most guitarists could probably get away with using it as their main overdrive pedal. It can do classic rock, hard rock, prog rock, rock’n’roll, and can even hold its own in the softer end of metal, but where this pedal really excels is blues, and the bluesier side of jazz and into jazz fusion.
