At 2:19 his guitar tech talks about the OD-3. Billy uses it as his second drive pedal often turning it on with the blues driver already on so he gets a more crunchy sound.

"*I’m playing the Rockerverb and I have an Electro-Harmonix Big Muff, a* ***standard BOSS overdrive***, *digital delay, chorus… I mean, I like to mess around with Micro Synths and the Line 6 digital delay pedal. That’s fun.*"

Synths can easily sound uninspiring, so here is my growing chain of effects. First off, the Copycat tape delay. This is my second one. I love how it breaks up the sound when cranked. The Moog Midimurf I also use to break up the sound into little fragments of stuttered sound. Finally, there’s a simple loop pedal for building layers of ambience.

Fantastic Overdrive pedal from Boss!

Great and transparent Overdrive! I like Boss pedals a lot and can't imagine a world without them! The almighty Bruce Springsteen even uses it! Come on, that your answer, right there! The Boss uses Boss!

Great overdrive pedal

Um dos melhores overdrives que já tive. Consigo desde um od transparente até um overdrive mais rasgado. Muito bom!

Boss OD - 3 Overdrive Pedal

Purchased in 2014, this pedal is a solid rocker to get dirty tones over the top. Sold in 2016.

It kicks ass

this is the drive you need to kick the front of your amp off the planet. It's the ultimate classic rock sounding overdrive but can also be used as a punchy clean boost for strats that sound amazing. Roll off the tone and turn up the gain to get some sweet black keys fuzz sounds

Overdrive Pedal

On my rig this turns my clean tone into a powerhouse, it can be used for a nice classic crunch but can also be used for a metal sound. Good overdrive pedal and easy and simple to use.

Really like this pedal for a nice overdrive

Great pedal in all honesty. I don't think the 'level' really changes the volume that much, which is a shame as I'm using this as part of my gain stages. Sound proper nice though!

Personalidad y presencia

Un saturador con mucha personalidad, para tener ese sonido que varia entre el canal limpio y sucio al momento de ejecutar frases de mayor expresión.

Al momento de hacer un solo lo ocupo como booster junto al DS-1 aumentando el volumen y la agresividad.

Great

This pedal sounds great with full level, tone in the middle and a very slight drive. This adds brightness to any lead guitar tone.

Awesome sound, and easy to use!!

I have this pedal for a while now and it has been amazing so far, on both bass and guitar, very tube amp sounding drive, cuts great in a mix, great for soloing and playing Post-Punk or Indie Rock kind of stuff

Good

I've used this on many concerts, recording and practicing. Someone said this pedal isn't good for boosting, but I think it's not bad for that.

Anyway, it's good pedal.

Great overdrive

This pedal is can go from a nice clean boost to crunchy, gritty overdrive so it's pretty great.

Exceptional in some aspects

It doesn't have a wide range of tones rather than its counterparts but this analog pedal gives the sound you truly desire. All in all, the overdrive pedal should give depth and control to your guitar sound.
