BOSS OD-200 Explorations 

Loving the centaur abbreviation 😂 that's what it would be called if it originated in Australia!

That clean sound is a perfect frusciante tone!

Finally got one!! Sounds incredible. I also liked that you can change the settings on the Memory/Boost so the regular tap turns on the boost instead of having to long hold 👍

Man, it’s so awesome listening to someone who can actually play, demoing a pedal. You make me wanna buy this pedal! I think I’m gonna do just that! Thanks mate! d;)

Drive is one of those effects you really need to “feel” for yourself, but this thing sounds amazing for how versatile it is. Seems like it could add a lot of much needed versatility to the amp and pedal style rig.

This is a really comprehensive review. The Stack Drive is supposed to be a Marshall-style stack simulated. It's not bad at all.

THANK YOU for using more than just one guitar in this!

I already have this coming from Sweetwater, but still watching demos because I can’t wait. You Leon are one Bad man on the fretboard!

Thinking of getting an OD-200 and EQ-200, with the EQ-200 setup with the OD-200 between the two EQ channels. The second EQ channel would be used as a cab sim, essentially, and the first EQ as sort of a shaper similar to a Tube Scream / SD-1.

I'm a year into owning mine. I've done it all accept getting an expression pedal. That's next after I pair this with the new Walrus ACS-1 and replace my DD500 and RV500 with a Source Audio Collider. That will enable me to literally get rid of 5 pedal. This pedal is the best OD pedal ive ever owned. (35 years in the pedal game)

I have the pedal. I like it. There is a harsher/fussier undertone in many settings I find.

A couple weeks ago I decided it was time to add some drive pedals (I was getting lazy playing out of my DAW). I bought 4 cheap clones of various pedals that added up to about $180. They all had raving reviews on Amazon, & they all sucked so bad that I immediately returned them. I accidentally got my return in credit, so I had to spend it on Amazon, that's when I realized how stupid I'd been, spent another $100 w/tax, & now I have this unbelievable pedal, that is easily the best drive I've ever owned. Buy this thing.

You can't tell from the photos, or even on film, but this thing has an awesome paint job. It's sparkle yellow.

Leon!!! First time here, love the video! will be coming back for more content.

*THAT WAS BEYOND AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOSS HIT A HOME PHUCKING RUN WITH THIS ONE! ..... THEY CAN FINALLY TAKE ALL THAT (( COSOM AMP MODELING )) CRAP AND TRASH IT.*

This thing is insane. Such a cool pedal

Expression pedal to push drive is genius

I am so loving the way you are auditioning the pedal! its really having me look at the OD 200 in a different way. And i gotta say, the different riffts youre chugging out :) awesome! Thank you so much for the passion!

*JUST WAIT till everyone find out that all this new tech is actual 30 years old!*

15:34 that stack drive mode ( marshall stack simulation ) really suits to 'bad boy's whitesnake 👍👍

I really like your channel and how comprehensive your videos are. Thanks Leon!!

Super awesome! Thank you for teaching how to use the od200.

Totally love the sound of this pedal!

I'm assuming that was the name "Gibson" that was taped over on that Les Paul?

Damn this sounds good... Trying to decide between this and the RevivalDRIVE Custom... Gotta find out how each responds to different compression...

Pretty interesting drive pedal indeed!! I sure can't afford a Centaur and building one is hit or miss. Might be worth looking into that Boss unit. Thanks for the great vid, Leon! Happy New Year to ya!!

A little off topic, but Leon, have you had a chance to look at the Boss Waza Air headphones? I got mine the other day and they are truly amazing. Check out Anderton's video of them. I am sure you will buy a pair after seeing their video. No substitute for my AXE, but when the wife is sleeping, they really come in handy.

I've had mine for about 2 weeks now running into a Nextone Artist. Pleased as punch!

Hi Leon, how does the OD-200 stack with other external pedals? E.g. if I ran an external tube screamer or klon into the OD-200?

Nice pedal. You play great through anything you play. Cheers!!

Dont laugh but I bought a digitech df-7 factory Pedal instead of the Roland od 200! The digitech burns down walls for me! It really depends on your playing and practice to get a good tone out of your gear! Gear is only a small factor, keep that in mind. Maybe I would get a used roland od 200 one day.....?

I didn’t see well or the Brown and X Metal were tried with a boost (Centaur) and using the neck pickup?

Hell yes thanks for this. I’m going to buy either the dd200 or the od200 one of these days, maybe even both. The ed and mod are good too, but i feel like od and delay would be of more use to me. Your vids are great man keep up the good work

Great video, very instructive thanks Love the Aussie pronunciation of parallel too 🤣

Great video, awesome playing!

good reviews with great guitar playing

Excellent production demonstration of this tool. Boss touts the pedal’s software that makes it more tactile and tubelike-and we all know what that feel is, whether we can describe it or not. As someone who has been hands-on with this pedal for some time, did you find that to be true? You mentioned that the Fat Distortion “felt good.” Was that true of all or most of the available sounds? Or was it mostly that kind of numb digital experience that has plagued most of its digital forebears? If they put some genuine feel into the OD-200....they can have my money.

Bought one. Newbie to pedals. Loving it.

Sounds fantastic Leon. My favorite was your Strat into the Klon.

Got to give Boss some credit. No fancy graphics or logos, no it’s yellow! I guess if you make products this good you don’t need the fluff.

That thing rocks. Boss rocks. You rock sir. Happy New Year..

What amp did you use?

Hi Leon great video. I just picked one of these up and I have to say I am loving the tones. It might be just me but one big flaw I have discovered centres around the editing of the presets that you create. There seems to be no way of editing them. When you recall a preset you cannot “see” the settings you have applied. The only work around I can see is to actually write down the settings you make in manual mode before you save them and then re-dial these in again in manual when you want to tweak a setting...I hope it’s just me because this is a BIG flaw...

You did tubescreamer twice!

I love your videos!! would you give some tips on recording good guitar quality? I have katana 100w, scarlett 2i2 and sm 57.. fairly decent guitar. I keep on getting garbage sound out of it 😂

Hi Leon! Great test! Which amp did you use for this test? It sounds like Marshall DSL Combo. It sounds completly different than Ola's Englund "Will it chug" test of this stompbox.

With this much flexibility and feature i will give this a go in front of my yamaha thr100. Thanks LT

can you use it on fx loop

I wanted to buy the mod 200 and delay as well so I could do a stereo set up,.....the od 200 is mono🤔🤔.

What tuning were you in from 20+, CGCFAD?

Totally missed this pedal when all the 200 stuff was released. I've been looking to possibly add an OD/Distortion pedal in front of my HX Stomp to add some flexibility with how I use the blocks. This may be the ticket for that and with all the features you highlighted at the end of the video it would be a very versatile and functional addition.

Try the Centaur in front of X-Dist. Sounds really heavy.

Please play reverb/delay mode

Whoa, I hope that pedal doesn't need modifications at all, if not, then it sounds killer. Awesome!

You're switch on the taped over "single cut" Guitar😁is reversed, that would drive me nuts. II would rather rock my old Hamer or another Guitar than said model,(or it's Y shaped brother), these days too🤦🏻‍♂️

I have question how do you get some drive if your drive knob is 0? 🤔

Watching this got me thinking, when is boss gonna bring out a NS3?

Got deley fx n reverb?

What’s that guitar?

That's a Fat pedal! Great with the YJM! Thanks for sharing brother! Be Well Leon!

Klon on klon please sir lol

Uooooh,great sound,compliment! But…stratocaster model is a performer?

That’s not a YJM Fender. Nice try though.

First comment and view.

Your base tone is wayyy to brite. Your not giving the pedal any room to shine.your already pushing 4kh with no gain. We want to hear the Pedal. Let it do the work for you. Your demoing not about to start a set.
