Boss OD-20-Ultimate Distortion/Overdrive?

[DARTHWOLFGANG]

In my quest to narrow down my purchase of a good Overdrive,I came across this beauty:

Anyone here have any feedback before I make the purchase?It seems to have every Boss distortion effect with some boutique options as well(and not to mention a TS-9 option as well.)As always,any feedback is appreciated

Well i haven't used that pedal but i have used the Boss GT-6 which has the Same COSM overdrive effects on it, and they're very impressive indeed...

Same old story with modelling. Close but no cigar. Cool if you want all-in-one, but I'd suggest you get a single boutique od that you really like rather than a bunch that aren't as good.

Recommendations: G2D, Keeley, Fulltone, Barber.

there's a product from electro-harmonix called the graphic fuzz, gives u ability for overdrive and fuzz and distortion without, and its about 6 billion times better then any boss, I'd know, i've bout 7 diffrent boss pedals that seemed good but never really delivered.

it really does depend on what tone you want. I have a Boss MT-2 metal zone and I think it rocks, because I like a really fat, bassy sound that also has awesome highs/harmonics. So if u want something extreme like THAT, go for a boss, they have more EQ options that most other pedals I know.. *COUGH* digitech...

I have the Boss OD-20 Drive Zone. If you have a good tube amp with GREAT cleans, it will do your tone great justice. I love it. It models many pedals, sure, but something to consider is the fact that you can tweak all of them more than the originals pedals. I like to use a super-high gain Blues Driver, for example. Also, there are 6 new distortion models on there that are really sweet and versatile. If you need lots of different kinds of distortion, get this pedal :13:
