DIY Boss OD-1 Overdrive

The BOSS OD-1 Overdrive is THE classic overdrive pedal that has been popular since its introduction in 1977.

It’s a simple but versatile pedal that produces warm and natural overdrive tones suitable for a wide range of musical genres.

The OD-1 features a single knob for adjusting the level of overdrive, allowing players to dial in just the right amount of gain. It also has a unique asymmetric clipping circuit that produces a more natural-sounding distortion compared to other pedals with symmetrical clipping circuits.

*Please note that these are not licensed copies of the pedals that they are immitating and whilst they are designed to acheive the same sound, there may be some differences.
