Built like a Tank
As you probably know, Boss pedals have a reputation for being built like brick outhouses! You can be pretty sure that however much you drop it, kick it, throw it and jump on it, it will still come back for more punishment!

Reliability really can be affordable to all, and Boss are so sure that their compact stomps will last that they cover them with a full five year warranty.

About Boss
We have new and used Boss gear available on our website for fast direct delivery direct to you from across sellers in all areas of the USA & UK.
BOSS is one of the most iconic and influential effects pedal brands, renowned for its durable, compact stompboxes and industry-leading innovation. A division of Roland Corporation, BOSS has been shaping the sound of musicians since the late 1970s, offering everything from legendary overdrives like the SD-1 and DS-1 to cutting-edge digital effects like the DD-500 and RV-6. Known for their reliability, versatility, and signature buffered bypass, BOSS pedals are a staple on pedalboards worldwide, trusted by beginners and professionals alike.
Distortion
Distortion is a type of guitar effect that alters the sound by adding sustain, harmonic richness, and a gritty or aggressive character. It clips the audio signal, creating a more saturated and powerful tone. Distortion is commonly used in rock, metal, and punk music, offering everything from warm, crunchy overdrive to heavily saturated, high-gain chaos. Unlike overdrive, which mimics the natural breakup of a tube amp, distortion produces a more intense, compressed, and processed sound. Popular distortion pedals include the Boss DS-1, ProCo Rat, and MXR Distortion+.

Overdrive
Overdrive is a popular guitar effect that creates a warm, distorted sound by amplifying the signal of an electric guitar, typically using a pedal or an amp’s built-in circuit. The effect simulates the natural distortion that occurs when a tube amplifier is pushed to its limit, creating a rich, harmonic response that adds sustain, warmth, and character to the tone. Overdrive pedals are commonly used to add grit and growl to a clean tone without the harshness of full distortion.
The overdrive effect works by boosting the input signal, causing the amplifier to break up and clip the waveform, resulting in a smooth, musical distortion. This is often more subtle and less aggressive than other forms of distortion, making overdrive pedals ideal for blues, classic rock, and country players who seek a dynamic sound that responds to their playing touch. Overdrive pedals can be used in conjunction with other effects like delay and reverb to shape a more complex, evolving sound. Popular overdrive pedals include the Ibanez Tube Screamer, the Fulltone OCD, and the Boss OD-3, each offering different tonal characteristics, from smooth and bluesy to punchy and aggressive.
