Pete Townshend

Beginning in 1999, Pete began using a Boss OD-1 overdrive pedal to drive the Fender Vibro-King amps at moderate stage volumes. The pedal was paired with an MXR Dyna Comp compression pedal (until 2004, when he began using an MXR Super Comp).

In an Instagram video uploaded by his wife, Rachel Fuller Townshend, Pete Townshend is shown using a Vemuram Shanks ODS-1 on his pedalboard during a recording session for "Pete Townshend's Quadrophenia: A Mod Ballet."

Pete Townshend is confirmed to use the Way Huge Smalls Conspiracy Theory Professional Overdrive, as evidenced by a photograph shared by Instagram user daiya5150, which shows Townshend's pedalboard including this specific gear.

In the video titled "The Who Rig Rundown with Pete Townshend & Jon Button" by Premier Guitar, at 8:26, Pete Townshend's guitar technician, Simon Law, is visibly demonstrating the Boss OD-1X Overdrive pedal as part of Townshend's pedalboard setup.
