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 atRedone 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.
