New Gear - BOSS Overdrive / Distortion OS-2

Last weekend I was out and went to a music academy in Kuching and they were having this Sale. I wanted to just see around the place and see what do they have to offer. They were selling a variety of musical instrument ranging from violins to drum kits and they even sell bagpipes. So, I went to a section where effect pedals were sold and got my eyes on the BOSS effects. There were several pedals displayed and I decided to purchased the Overdrive / Distortion OS-2 (It was dirt cheap) with the help of my lovely girlfriend (Thanks Baby). Here are the pictures:

The OS-2

Here's my thought on the pedal it built like a tank (Obviously it's a BOSS) and was made in Taiwan. No adapter included but there's an optional 9v battery power supply. Soundwise, it's easy to find your sound because of the choices of knobs. You can adjust the level of volume, the tone, how much drive you want and also the last knob is to choose between using the overdrive or the distortion sound. Very easy to use and tweak.The only downside is that it may sound brittle on certain levels but I think it's my crappy cable. Overall, I would give this pedal an 8.5 over 10.

Since, this is my first pedal I would have to get myself a proper strap and I'm eyeing for the DiMarzio Clipslock or a good padded one which would cost the same OR maybe to continue on my long delayed projects. See how things go and that is all folks. GAS cured for now. See ya in the next entry.
