Boss ODB-3 Bass OverDrive Effects Pedal

That Flea sound

This photo of a Flea pedalboard reveals at one point he used the Boss ODB-3 Bass OverDrive pedal. More recent photos and videos of his pedal setup show this pedal is no longer used by him in a live setting (photo originally sourced from ratsound.com).

The photography shows his pedalboard. We see the ODB-3.

Yellow box, has been using this on and off for years.

” On Life Starts Now, Walst used his Ampeg SVT-CL head and 8x10 cabinet combined with a SansAmp Bass DI, which he sometimes mixed with either a Boss Overdrive or a E-H Big Muff. “

"The second pedal in the chain is the Bass Overdrive. This is my insurance policy. Most of the times when we play shows that require us to fly out and use rental gear, I get an Ampeg SVT amp. This amp is the greatest Rock n Roll bass amp because it breaks up just right when you push it. On some occasions the rental company doesn't give us the right bass amp, and that totally sucks. Certain amps (I'm not going to name names) Are completely sterile sounding and just wrong for rock music. When I get these amps I play way to hard because the amp isn't helping the sound at all. The result is a shitty sound and me getting blisters on my fingers from playing so hard. The Bass Overdrive pedal is my insurance policy here because when this happens, I put the pedal on it's lowest setting with just a slight amount of overdrive. This smoothes out the sound enough to make it playable for the Rock style. The other place I use this pedal is during the bass solo for the heavy stuff. It's on a more extreme setting for the solo."

BassPlayer.com interviewed Bassist and founding member of Cannibal Corpse and Blotted Science, Alex Webster around May of 2012. Among the items Alex lists as his gear at the time was a BOSS ODB-3 Bass Overdrive Pedal. Source http://www.bassplayer.com/artists/1171/alex-webster-to-the-extreme/26685

"Distortion pedals have traditionally been bottom killers, but you can retain the low end with some of the newer ones. I use the Boss ODB-3 Bass OverDrive, which has a BALANCE knob for blending, and a two-band EQ. I crank the low end all the way, set the HIGH knob around 3 o’clock, and the BALANCE anywhere from 11 o’clock to 1 o’clock. I’m still searching for another distortion pedal that sounds good layered in conjunction with it. I split my signal after the pedalboard."

On the left side, you can see a Boss overdrive pedal. The dashed lines indicate that it's the ODB-3 model.

[Steve Queralt] would “never be without a decent overdrive,” he says, and is finding the Boss ODB-3 hard to beat, “due to the way it maintains a good deal of sub bass.”

It's an interview of a bassist, and when the journalist asks him the last pedal he bought, he answers the ODB-3, and says thanks to Labadie for giving the reference of this effect in a magazine called "Bass Part". "La ODB-3 Bass Overdrive de chez Boss, c'est une bombe !!! (Merci à Jean-Michel Labadie de Gojira pour le tuyau à travers Bass Part magazine)"

"Good deal on some new toys. Today was a good day."

The ODB-3 can be seen to the left of his Line 6 EX-1.

At 13:04 In this "RIGGED" episode from Gear Gods, Devin "Ghost" Sola guides us through his touring rig. He lists off the pedals he uses and in what order starting with his Ernie Ball VP JR Volume Pedal, to a TC Electronic PolyTune 2 Polyphonic LED Guitar Tuner, into a Boss ODB-3, into a Boss GEB-7 Bass Equalizer, and finally connecting to his Bass Innovations MXR Bass D.I.+. All of his pedals are patched together using the Livewire Advantage Series of patch cables.

As you can see on his little pedal board,the yellow pedal its a Bass Overdrive by Boss.
