Quality


This is a well known characteristic with the os2 and to be fair while playing the noise isnt obnoxious or even perceptible at times


Sounds great with my tube amps and my little vox 3 watt solid state


With the knob anywhere around the middle you get a firm thumpy palmmuted overdrive with varying degrees of sizzling overtones f...  Read More


The sustain is very low and attack is massive

Price


Nothing more to say than perhaps its a little pricey bit oh well

Shipping


The dispatchment and shipping was very quick and i saved £20 on this pedal than spending it in a music shop


Great vendor it arrived just a couple days after i ordered it

Competitiveness


Sitting in there amongst a hundred similar looking pedals from boss and others up against more fashionable boutique and edgy br...  Read More


It has something of an amplike tone rather than a fuzz pedal or yet another midhumped tubescreamer competitor


Then again the ones ive had before were generally a lot cheaper and by companies far less established

    However despite my amp being able to attenuate down to 5w i have gotten more frustrated working at lower volumes lately at the loss of dynamic and muddying up when using my guitar volume control


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I was at the point of thinking i had to change my amp just to get back some life and tonal response like i am used to


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    A shop assistant listened to me and rather than shamelessly get a sale on expensive amps he convinced me by appealing to my wallet to try the od3 just as a benchmark loaning me a beat up demo model for a nominal deposit


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Which sounded better driving the clean channel to be dirty than the gain channel itself like i would normally use


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I was surprised by just how much dirt was available pretty much angus young if you need to go that far


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The 1x has just a bit more gain is more modern and crisp sounding overall and responds to even further roll off of guitar volume


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    For me though the od3 played better to the natural warmth of my amp and has that sort of warmer swelling overdrive tone
