Will probably need two of those chips - so the builder could make a pair, and keep one for themselves! In any case I still live in hope. My best option there is probably to hunt down the chip separately - and then get someone to make a custom edition for me. I'm not sure Boss will ever revive the OD-1 as a Waza Edition, and if they did - they could surely never get their hands on enough RC3403D's to make that exercise worthwhile. Where the first taste of the OD-1 I acquired was via the JHS Pedals Bonsai Multi-Screamer, and then more recently courtesy of my Custom Pettyjohn ODI - which I love dearly - and really covers that glorious typical JRC4558D texture. I don't yet own any authentic Boss OD-1 - as I mentioned in the intro - I really want and original RC3403D 14-Pin-Chip edition. Which to all intents and purposes was Boss's response to the popularity of the Tube Screamer. Which then propelled Boss to do a softer version of its OD-1 - which funnily took the guise of the SD-1. This pedal really set the ball rolling, while Roland/Boss's patent for Asymmetrical Clipping would inadvertently give Ibanez the upper hand as the masses started to favour the slightly smoother Symmetrical Clipping Tones. Here follow a few more individual details on each, ordered sort of incrementally by gain level and degree of aggression :īeautifully textured original Asymmetric Clipping OverDrive - and forerunner to Ibanez's TS808 Tube Screamer. I do really like the whole range - and as mentioned - all of these are perennial favourites and in heavy rotation.

While the JB-2 Angry Driver and Keeley Twilight Zone MT-2 Metal Zone varieties sort of equally vie for being my favourite Boss Distortion. My all time favourite overdrive - as mentioned many times on this site - is the Keeley Freak Fuzz Modded Edition of BD-2 Blues Driver - which is rarely out of rotation. I’ve noted before on this site that I’m a huge fan of the Keeley Modded variants - and slightly prefer those even over and above the excellent Waza-Craft editions - where a number of those were actually inspired by those Keeley Mods. Possibly the MD-2 Mega Distortion and ML-2 Metal Core are just outside iconic status - while the OD-1, SD-1, BD-2, DS-1, JB-2, MT-2 and HM-2 are all wholly legendary now - with several of those having Waza editions too.
I consider each one of these tone legendary pedals - as can be seen by how often these are copied, cloned, modded and included as key flavours on multi-drive and mulit-gain-workstation pedals. Would be cool though to have a RC3403D-powered edition at some stage. I really hope Boss re-issues the OD-1 as a limited edition Waza-Craft - while I feel it may be somewhat unlikely. In fact I own multiple varieties and alternatives for all these feature ones - bar essentially for the original OD-1 - where I’ve always wanted one of the very earliest editions with the now super-rare 14-pin/leg RC3403D Chip - but not found one yet in the right condition, or at the right price! Most varieties of OD-1 feature some variant of JRC4558D nowadays, and I’ve momentarily settled on a Pettyjohn Custom edition ODI - as my representative of this variety. Following on from my recent piece on Unsung Boss OverDrives and Distortions - I though I should also list which my own personal favourites were of all of Boss’s classic gain pedals.
