Boss OD-2R Turbo Overdrive

it is really easy to use. I also made a sort of footswitch for the turbo, I took off the know on the turbo and put a metal thing in the little groove so now I can turn the turbo on and off with my foot

I only use it with the tone and drive all the way up and the turbo on. Without the turbo it sounds pretty weak but with the turbo on it kicks ass.

Boss pedals are made like tanks

I would buy it again. I hate the weak distorton when the turbo is off. Its a wicked pedal for doing leads

It's pretty much your standard stomp box: 4 knobs and an on/off button. It has a lot of good sounds in it, it just takes a bit of tinkering to get them out.

Quietest OD pedal I've played. On the turbo off setting, with Dist. and Tone knobs cranked and hella reverb (I use my amp's plus a boss RV-3 set on "Plate") you get a wicked Mermen type sound, and with turbo on with the same settings, you get a very sweet, Santana-like lead tone.

It's a boss. It could stand up to freight train.

I'd buy it again if I had the $, just so I would't have change the Knobs between songs. This pedal kicks ASS! Buy it!

Really easy to use. You can get settings from the manual that range from lightly distorted to all-out grind.

if your looking for a death-metal sound, this is not your unit. The switch is good if you want more gain.

metal casing so it can take a beating.

Never had to deal with the customer support

I would buy it again in a heartbeat. I like the sound it gives me.

This Pedal is very easy to use,it can get a good medium gain sound with out much of a problum (think of it as a Bush type sound).it is a little noisey and is a little dull without a good amp EQ

It has a medium gain voicing,it has a remote jack to turn up and down the gain with out turning the knob so its like a 2 channel pedal its very cool

its a BOSS need I say more I own several boss pedals and I have never had a problem with any of them,I would gig without a backup with no hesitation

I called for a catalog and they were nice but as far as service speed i don't know

I love this pedal and I would buy it again and again it is a intricle part of my rig and I couldnt live without it. I copared this with an Xtortion and it flat ass out beat it to death. I wish it had a perimitric EQ like the metal Zone but it still is a very good pedal and it is very virsitile do to the remote jack

Simple, yet a nice sound with Turbo on. I would buy it again, but I would also buy a Power Supply, cause this thing just eats bataries.

N/A, but they sent me a kewl catlogue with lot's 'o pretty pictures, you can get it from www.roldandus.com

I love the distortion, but it is sort of hard to equal out the tone from getting too much feedback. I would get an equaliser if I had the CA$H to buy one, but for now I just turn the tone down for Metalic songs. My neihbor on the other hand hates the damn thing, cause he only plays metal, and says his tube amp gets better distortion, so I guess it's all in what you play. The other cool thing is it's practically indestructable, and has been dropped many times and still functions.

It's very easy to get a good sound,if you like that kind of sound.I heard the new model have a remote switch for turbo mode.I think that's very useful

On my settings it is a bit noisy, but it's probably just my cables.I really like the way it sounds on "turbo off mode". On "turbo on" it is much too distorted.I think it is really cool(to me it sounds like Green Day) but it is not MY sound

You can surely depend on it

I live in Romania so customer support is out of the question

I wouldn't buy it again,as I said before it is not my perfect sound.I think it is very good for Green day kind of music but for me it doesn't have enough feedback on turbo off and in turbo on it is almost unplayable(unless you're into Paradise Lost or something like that kind of music).Also I couldn't get too many types of sound from it

Four Knobs: Level, Tone, Drive and Turbo On/Off. Easy to set up different sounds.

The main reason i bought a pedal was to get rid of the hum, and i got rid of it. It's quiet. The Distortion is not that impressing, you can't get that very many different sounds. I play heavy/death metal and i couldn't quite get the sound i wanted. If i use the pedal at the same time as i have the Amps (Peavey Bandit 112) dist on just a little, the sound gets better. But that's not how i would want the pedal to be. The distortion is too weak even with full drive and turbo.

It eats batteries. Do not forget to unplug the INPUT cord... i did... the batteri was dead... I guess i could throw it onto the pavement and it wouldn't break...

I wouldn't buy this again, i guess it doesn't fit my style (metal).

Easiest thing in the world.

I love the sound. Without the turbo, you get an early PJ-Harveyish sound and with the turbo of it's smooth, high and dry. No noise at all.

You know what we say about Bosses

Haven't had any trouble yet.

I would most certainly buy it again. It kicks my guitar way up. I love it.

Very easy to use. Only 4 controls: Level, Tone, Drive, & Turbo On/Off.

With thr Turbo off, it produces a really warm medium-gain distortion with no rough edges. With the Turbo engaged, it gets a really gritty sound with about a third more gain. In this mode, it gets a really loose distortion that's okay for higher string chords, but it farts out on power chords. Not the best distortion, but just OK. The turbo off mode is much better. The unit has the lowest output level I've ever seen on any pedal. I had it turned up to ten and it still barely reached unity gain. Wish it had more output, bummer. I give the Turbo off mode an 8 and the Turbo on mode a 4, so I guess that's an overall 6.

It's a Boss, solid as a rock, but there are other pedals that sound way better.
