The Boss OD-1X is not an OD-1 reissue its much more. Boss have decided to reinvent overdrive. Up to now overdrive and distortion circuits have always been analog aside from expensive modelling technology Boss have seen the potential of digitally processing overdrive and created the remarkably innovative OD-1X. This pedal can process each frequency band separately and tailor the effect to each. This is alongside a shift in focus away from midrange so the pedal now emphasises bass and treble response giving a truly modern feel perfect for the studio. On top of this powerful tone-shaping the OD-1X then applies its signature natural compression to giving the output a really polished professional sound every time. If youre looking for the next generation of overdrives its pretty clear its the OD-1X.

Overdrive Pedals
Overdrive uses soft or moderate clipping to add harmonics and compression while retaining more of the original note shape than heavy distortion. Some circuits emphasise the midrange and trim bass before clipping; others remain broad, transparent or amplifier-like. Gain, clipping arrangement, headroom and tone filtering decide whether it supplies a light edge, a saturated drive sound or extra push into another gain stage.

Analogue
The signal is shaped by continuously varying electronic circuitry rather than being converted into a digital effect algorithm. Component choice, operating voltage and circuit tolerances influence headroom, noise, clipping texture and the small variations in response between designs.
Bass
Voiced or equipped to retain low-frequency fundamentals and the higher headroom of a bass signal. Clean blends, crossovers and bass-specific filter ranges can preserve weight and articulation while the effected portion adds harmonics, movement or ambience.
