Got another a few years later and totally love it.
Anyway had one - liked it at up to 9 0 clock gain setting for a slight crunch breakup on a clean amp... I've heard others get that fusion type smooth sound out of it - but I sold it after the wife heard me playing thru it upstairs and screamed at me to stop saying it was awful (though that could have been my playing).
Rig dependent I guess as always - what guitar and amp are you using with it.?
I've heard a couple of people make them sound ace.
It makes me wonder whether all I need is a BD, but the OD-200 has TMB tone controls which I fiddle with a lot, so I might miss that on the individual pedal.
If I don't like a pedal first time, that's it. I can't imagine buying, then selling, then buying, then selling, then buying, then selling. the same model. That's more U-turns than a Conservative government.
I don't love it through a Fender amp. It actually contains a fixed Fender tone stack in the circuitry so I wonder if it is just "too much Fender" when used like that.
I think the trick is to keep the gain low the tone not excessive and plenty of volume and you get a really lovely boost that's not excessively shouty in the mid range like a lot of overdrives. I do prefer it into a Marshall though.
I'm not a huge fan of the Boss's buffer - and this would be going on my non-switcher pedalboard. That said - the actual BD-2 circuit was great. The Keeley Muse Driver is excellent - and that's my backup if I don't find a suggestion for a used alternative that isn't ruinously expensive...
