Obviously it sound digital, it doesn't have any reverb or delay

Honesty if your a studio musician or cover band guitarist or a tone chaser, this would scratch that itch for versatility and flexibility of tone.

You, sir, are awesome. Have a fantastic day!

Not all heroes wear capes!

cool youtube name, indeed, I've been waiting for this for several months. release date pushed back. I hate reviews with mostly guitar solos, need rhythm playing to hear the texture. anyway, I said elsewhere, you need this pedal up on a table or stand to adjust stuff, cause there's way too much tinkering you can do. if it is on the floor, it is tough to bend down and tinker, you'll just move one knob or button, stand up and settle for that sound. cool pedal. getting one

@@hollowmenrule Thanks very much. I think both Colin and Rabea showcased this pedal *most excellently* ..but I do agree that only 4 patches is a bit limited for a pedal that does so much..? The parallel mode on this seems to sound really damn amazing, and would probably require a pretty crazy rig to properly split and re-mix the signal paths as good as this pedal does right out of the box. {No, I'm not sponsored or paid by Roland or Boss}

As someone who understands the reference this cracks me out :D

If they did that, which they have done, It would just be a regular effects processor which is difficult to use. I'm coming from multi effects processors, but I just can't really see myself using normal analog pedals, I now have all the 200 series and it is still hard to use, Be a doesn't really even explain how to work this thing like a boss, and he can't just do that because it is very complicated and needs time to even understand how each individual pedal truly works aside from just changing different forms of drives, so it offers more than he is actually showing but it's something that requires patience. once you have all these pedals and truly understand them, you can just sculpt out tones that people will never be able to get, also because it is not a real analog pedal, some tones actually just don't even exist in the analog world and even if you want to achieve them with analog pedals it would cost you more money time and effort to do that.

Boss already did that in the CORE... They won't do that with this pedal... Imagine what what an OD-500 would have...

Give me an OD-1 over a TS808 any day. call me crazy.

Your not crazy! It's the TRUTH! lol

It's all in there even before you get to boost and stacking...

SD1 over TS any day

I completely agree with you.

Xavier G hahaha 😂 😂 I usually don’t laugh at comments like this but that was absolutely hilarious. I can’t believe more people didn’t see this.

Hahaha good 1

clever 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I'm supposed to be at work right now, but this comment has me laughing in tears

@@Zlagie haha, that was me yesterday having a music break and came across this. Pure Gold!

Especially as of lately (DD500, Katana, Waza pedals and this), Boss is having an innovative renaissance right now

@@matthewjamesmckay3025 DD500?

@@matthewjamesmckay3025 I totally agree. I have spoken to Yoshi Ikegami and put a bug in his ear to now make a uber-cool pedalboard that would be on the same par as the Katana series and all the new larger pedal sizes. I mentioned that the two other boards they make are great for the standard size Boss box, but they do so much more and develop a new series is an ultimate board or at least something that would allow more pedals and be Pro version. He asked if they should replace the current boards. I said no. I think he was not clear of my request and thought I meant to replace everything because the current boards are a big seller for them.

Yoshi was gracious as always and thanked me for the idea. Give them a while they may do something amazing on the board level. I hope so anyway.

Seriously, you like thin digital shite?

Sounds awesome, the problem I have with multi effects is that the more complicated they are and the more functions they have, the harder it becomes to find that one special tone back once you found it. They still only have a few dials and switches. I think there is a lot improvement to be made with the user interface (in a general sense not just the OD-200). I know you can save things but even then it's hard to find back all the parameters you dialled in. Something like PC functionality where everything is show at once without navigating 200 menu's with only a little LCD display. Or even just a bigger display with more parameters than 3 digits.

Im positive its just his playing. Its just too digital and has too many features in one pedal to be anything that would legit inspire me. It will work period. But its not going to inspire anyone (in my opinion).

@@michaelinglis567 I would say it's probably one of the best competitors to the HX Stomp distortion wise. To me, the sound in the demo is nicely spanky and full. What's the thing about "too digital"? Most bands these days have digital modelers in the studio and live gigs because nobody in the audience can tell the difference and it reduces the logistics costs to a marginal compared to having to bring the full backline accross the Atlantic for example. Also, a digital modeler is tonally more consistent at very different volumes which makes it easier for any sound guy to work with. Comparing this pedal to most other pedals, be it digital or analog or even a tube drive at the price level I would say this beats many in their own territory. I think that what you might be afraid is the versatility, the possible case of drowning into all the possible sound combinations and instead of playing you end up tweaking it a lot and then selling it because you're happier with something that does maybe only one or two tricks but do them really well and I totally respect that.

@@NorgGrimm Lol i modify all my pedals and guitars to have stupid rediculous options. So I'm not afraid of versatility but I get why you might think that. I don't care what other people hear. I care what I hear. If what I'm hearing really resonates I play better an am inspired to wrote better riffs. I've been playing almost 20 years and in that time have played stupid amounts of digital and analog gear. Now I still love several digital pedals like delays etc. But I just don't feel inspired when I'm playing through cab sims or amp moddelors. And I've spent considerable time getting to know plugins and digital moddelors in order to get the most out of them and at the end of the day I find tones I like but they just aren't anywhere near as good as what I get through dedicated analogue gear, they just work in a pinch in my opinion. If a pedal has a ton of options in my experience it's to make up for the fact that nothing it offers is great, just quantity over quality. I get excited about my tones and can't wait to show my friends that I jam with how I get them. Hell I'll torture my girl by talking for an hour a day about a tone I'm in love with. But I've never once felt that way with amp/cab moddelors/sims. The argument that your audience can't tell is also something I disagree with. They can tell if I'm into it or not and when my tone is good and I'm happy with it then im gonna express that. I really think it's lame to say "ahh they can't tell anyways just use moddelors". Sure carrying around a tube amp and cabinet is hard work but to me it's completely worth it. I want people to hear tones I'm proud of not just tones that work.

@@michaelinglis567 I am with you Michael, keep doing what you are doing. And to timoteus, digital has a sound characteristic that lacks mojo. Lots of digital stuff is fantastic, but 'too digital' is a sound and is always negative. That's what people are on about, try a line 6 modeler and you will get an idea pretty quick. Even the best amp modelers hide behind the fact that they are recreating an amped mic tone when comparisons are made. Also, tonally consistent seems to equal less dynamic in my experience.

Distortion and stuff doesn't inspire, the eq, md and dd does the inspiration and that's why I got them first, I'll get this in two weeks just to complete the series and it works. the OD 200 looks amazing and believe me it sounds amazing, but basically if one knows how to dial in an amp, then an OD is just over rated even though having one is a good idea, but it's just not mind blowing. And some of the sounds are from the UAD Apollo, and that is the mother of inspiration. The thing with Hybrid pedals is patience, you don't want to explore everything at once, maybe take a few days to learn one mode after cycling through the whole thing.

Sorry, what does that mean? It's a digital pedal, not analog?

I bet Boss puts a new type of buffer in these new pedals simply because of how much easier it is to design something with a much more transparent buffer than ever before.

It's not a digital pedal tho, It's a hybrid pedal; four of the presets are fully digital, matching the fully digital stomps they're replicating, & the others are analog circuity, edited digitally.

@@iseeu-fp9po I'm not sure what he means either. It's not a digital pedal, It's a hybrid pedal; a few of the presets are fully digital, they match up with the fully digital stomps they're replicating, & the others are analog circuity, edited digitally.

I think it sounds better than the Revival Hot Rod...and at a third of the price...

@Return of the Native good point. You'd also need the huge laugh: "HA! HA! HA!"

*Davey504 wants to know your location

OMG, I'm calling the police.

I'm going to his channel now. TYVM.

No one called me out on misspelling his name. NOOBS. I need therapy now.

@@Terrible_Peril Checkmate spellers!

JJ skyflyer Thanks for that update. I was trying to suss this out

Thanks for the info... ☺️

Yeah, Mike Hermans syndrome, time to change the (favourite) reviewer? ;)

Would be fun to see someone put together a really bad (but not silly) board, but still having the normal types of effects. So no HM-2 and 5 Mikus. Then have a bunch of different people play that rig and try to get it to sound good. After all it’s not just about spending the money, you also need to know how to twist the knobs :)

@@flekkzo great idea!! :D

...and two drives in series or parellel... Pretty big bang for the buck...

D. Scribe screeeeeeam for meeeeeee

Damn good call, I've been trying to figure out where I'd seen this before!

Lol... Gotta say that it's a pretty slick looking pedal...

What pedals would they be? Would love yer prospective on them ✌

It's actually yellow? Are we seeing the same pedal? It has an amazing sparkle finish tho, & they look awesome on a board; they are actually only 1/2 a pedal larger than regular size. The switchless stomp switches are amazing on stage, but even better in your bedroom when you don't have any shoes on.

Douglas Rosser Exactly I have a Peavey Bandit 65 which I love for clean so I want to know how this pedal would sound before my Bandit

If you have a shitty amp you’ll have a shitty sound, a pedal, isn’t suppose to increase your gears quality

skeleton No, stupid fuck. I’m just stating facts, I don’t even have a massive amp, just a good quality one. Ignorant piece of shit.

@@3FlyingFarts hi Matt, I bought the OD 200 about a month ago and have tried a few different methods I.e. fx loop, different parts in fx chain, front of amp etc. I run a yamaha THR100HD, peavey.bandit silver stripe and peavey special 212 of same era. What I can tell you is the following for the Bandit: Running via front on clean is brighter and far greater attack. R running through fx loop in back yields a darker sound and my bandit has the power amp in jack that I should also test out. I get great tones using a stacked gain from the pedal. Also, if I dial back the gain section of the Bandit I can get an ever more dynamic boost. Highly recommended.

Huh? Its yellow?
