The OD-20 Drive Zone uses advanced COSM technology to model the sound of classic overdrive/distortion pedals, as well as create your own unique sounds. Choose from 22 models, plus new “Attack Shape” and “Heavy Octave” parameters to dial in subtle nuances or extreme tones. You can even switch amp channels remotely using the OD-20’s Amp Control jack.

With COSM technology, the OD-20 can faithfully recreate the sound of the most popular overdrive/distortion pedals in history. You get all the BOSS classics like the OD-1, DS-1, and MT-2, plus boutique pedals and many other classics—22 in total! There are also six new overdrive and distortion sounds ranging from gentle crunch to heavy distortion to screaming metal.

With the Attack Shape feature, guitarists can adjust the response of the overdrive model to suit their playing style. So if you’re really looking to play the strings, the OD-20 will have you covered. There’s also a new Heavy Octave control that produces low octave tones for all notes played below the fourth fret of the fourth string, which is great for simulating the thick, 7-string-type tones heard in modern rock music.
