This pedal is honestly capable of all the variations you'd hear in rock/metal and even some blues tones. It does a great job, and it's functionality, being able to stack drives is awesome. Giving you endless options when it comes to any level of gain and tone you'd need.

Rabea: So let's see how it sounds...
(20 seconds later)
Boss: Sells a million pedals.
I want to clear the air, since a lot of people can't seem to figure this out; this is NOT a DIGITAL Distortion, it's a HYBRID Drive, so it uses analog & digital circuitry. All the editing & structural stuff is digital of course, there are multiple analog circuits in there, used to drive multiple drive presets accordingly, & then they use digital modelling to approximate the tones of the more specific presets. For example the celebrated "Centaur" is built off one of Boss's analog OD circuits (It sounds like the SD-1w Waza craft circuit) & then that audio is digitally modeled into a Centaur, which is one reason why this thing sounds so amazing. So it's almost like a modular drive. Hope that makes sense.
Don't forget you also get the gate in this pedal, & there are actually 128 presets, not just the four they first shipped it with.
That pedal is incredible, people complaining that it sounds 'digital' are crazy. The $250 price tag is not that bad when you consider everything that it does.
Obviously it sound digital, it doesn't have any reverb or delay
Honesty if your a studio musician or cover band guitarist or a tone chaser, this would scratch that itch for versatility and flexibility of tone.

Xavier G hahaha 😂 😂 I usually don’t laugh at comments like this but that was absolutely hilarious. I can’t believe more people didn’t see this.
Hahaha good 1
clever 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I'm supposed to be at work right now, but this comment has me laughing in tears
@@Zlagie haha, that was me yesterday having a music break and came across this. Pure Gold!
Awesome stuff mate - loving your demos. Both you and Boss are knocking it out the park at the moment!
People forget how great great Boss’ od family of pedals are and chose their green boxed friends instead. Boss makes killer od pedals but are often overlooked due to their affordable prices.
Give me an OD-1 over a TS808 any day. call me crazy.
Your not crazy! It's the TRUTH! lol
It's all in there even before you get to boost and stacking...
SD1 over TS any day
I completely agree with you.
That’s all the distortion that one would ever need! That’s a crazy dirt box!
Sounds awesome, the problem I have with multi effects is that the more complicated they are and the more functions they have, the harder it becomes to find that one special tone back once you found it. They still only have a few dials and switches. I think there is a lot improvement to be made with the user interface (in a general sense not just the OD-200). I know you can save things but even then it's hard to find back all the parameters you dialled in. Something like PC functionality where everything is show at once without navigating 200 menu's with only a little LCD display. Or even just a bigger display with more parameters than 3 digits.
How could Boss possibly outdo this pedal?
They'd have to add chorus, delay, reverb, a looper, phaser, and tuner and just call it the Boss OMG-9000!
cool youtube name, indeed, I've been waiting for this for several months. release date pushed back. I hate reviews with mostly guitar solos, need rhythm playing to hear the texture. anyway, I said elsewhere, you need this pedal up on a table or stand to adjust stuff, cause there's way too much tinkering you can do. if it is on the floor, it is tough to bend down and tinker, you'll just move one knob or button, stand up and settle for that sound. cool pedal. getting one
@@hollowmenrule Thanks very much.
I think both Colin and Rabea showcased this pedal *most excellently* ..but I do agree that only 4 patches is a bit limited for a pedal that does so much..?
The parallel mode on this seems to sound really damn amazing, and would probably require a pretty crazy rig to properly split and re-mix the signal paths as good as this pedal does right out of the box.
{No, I'm not sponsored or paid by Roland or Boss}
As someone who understands the reference this cracks me out :D
If they did that, which they have done, It would just be a regular effects processor which is difficult to use. I'm coming from multi effects processors, but I just can't really see myself using normal analog pedals, I now have all the 200 series and it is still hard to use, Be a doesn't really even explain how to work this thing like a boss, and he can't just do that because it is very complicated and needs time to even understand how each individual pedal truly works aside from just changing different forms of drives, so it offers more than he is actually showing but it's something that requires patience. once you have all these pedals and truly understand them, you can just sculpt out tones that people will never be able to get, also because it is not a real analog pedal, some tones actually just don't even exist in the analog world and even if you want to achieve them with analog pedals it would cost you more money time and effort to do that.
Boss already did that in the CORE... They won't do that with this pedal... Imagine what what an OD-500 would have...
Boss is such an amazing company. All those years of innovation and they are still knocking it out of the park.
Especially as of lately (DD500, Katana, Waza pedals and this), Boss is having an innovative renaissance right now
@@matthewjamesmckay3025 DD500?
@@matthewjamesmckay3025 I totally agree. I have spoken to Yoshi Ikegami and put a bug in his ear to now make a uber-cool pedalboard that would be on the same par as the Katana series and all the new larger pedal sizes. I mentioned that the two other boards they make are great for the standard size Boss box, but they do so much more and develop a new series is an ultimate board or at least something that would allow more pedals and be Pro version. He asked if they should replace the current boards. I said no. I think he was not clear of my request and thought I meant to replace everything because the current boards are a big seller for them.
Yoshi was gracious as always and thanked me for the idea. Give them a while they may do something amazing on the board level. I hope so anyway.
Seriously, you like thin digital shite?
Thank you Rabea for your professional reviews. I always get a lot of quality information from your videos! 🤘
I did NOT expect it to sound that good. Wow.
You got some real good sounds from that, I was really impressed that all the gain was coming exclusively from the pedal.
I'm not 100% sure if Boss's OD-200 is really amazing or if it's just Rabea kicking serious ass.
I'll go for both.
Im positive its just his playing. Its just too digital and has too many features in one pedal to be anything that would legit inspire me. It will work period. But its not going to inspire anyone (in my opinion).
@@michaelinglis567 I would say it's probably one of the best competitors to the HX Stomp distortion wise. To me, the sound in the demo is nicely spanky and full. What's the thing about "too digital"? Most bands these days have digital modelers in the studio and live gigs because nobody in the audience can tell the difference and it reduces the logistics costs to a marginal compared to having to bring the full backline accross the Atlantic for example. Also, a digital modeler is tonally more consistent at very different volumes which makes it easier for any sound guy to work with. Comparing this pedal to most other pedals, be it digital or analog or even a tube drive at the price level I would say this beats many in their own territory.
I think that what you might be afraid is the versatility, the possible case of drowning into all the possible sound combinations and instead of playing you end up tweaking it a lot and then selling it because you're happier with something that does maybe only one or two tricks but do them really well and I totally respect that.
@@NorgGrimm Lol i modify all my pedals and guitars to have stupid rediculous options. So I'm not afraid of versatility but I get why you might think that. I don't care what other people hear. I care what I hear. If what I'm hearing really resonates I play better an am inspired to wrote better riffs. I've been playing almost 20 years and in that time have played stupid amounts of digital and analog gear. Now I still love several digital pedals like delays etc. But I just don't feel inspired when I'm playing through cab sims or amp moddelors. And I've spent considerable time getting to know plugins and digital moddelors in order to get the most out of them and at the end of the day I find tones I like but they just aren't anywhere near as good as what I get through dedicated analogue gear, they just work in a pinch in my opinion. If a pedal has a ton of options in my experience it's to make up for the fact that nothing it offers is great, just quantity over quality. I get excited about my tones and can't wait to show my friends that I jam with how I get them. Hell I'll torture my girl by talking for an hour a day about a tone I'm in love with. But I've never once felt that way with amp/cab moddelors/sims. The argument that your audience can't tell is also something I disagree with. They can tell if I'm into it or not and when my tone is good and I'm happy with it then im gonna express that. I really think it's lame to say "ahh they can't tell anyways just use moddelors". Sure carrying around a tube amp and cabinet is hard work but to me it's completely worth it. I want people to hear tones I'm proud of not just tones that work.
@@michaelinglis567 I am with you Michael, keep doing what you are doing. And to timoteus, digital has a sound characteristic that lacks mojo. Lots of digital stuff is fantastic, but 'too digital' is a sound and is always negative. That's what people are on about, try a line 6 modeler and you will get an idea pretty quick. Even the best amp modelers hide behind the fact that they are recreating an amped mic tone when comparisons are made. Also, tonally consistent seems to equal less dynamic in my experience.
Distortion and stuff doesn't inspire, the eq, md and dd does the inspiration and that's why I got them first, I'll get this in two weeks just to complete the series and it works. the OD 200 looks amazing and believe me it sounds amazing, but basically if one knows how to dial in an amp, then an OD is just over rated even though having one is a good idea, but it's just not mind blowing. And some of the sounds are from the UAD Apollo, and that is the mother of inspiration. The thing with Hybrid pedals is patience, you don't want to explore everything at once, maybe take a few days to learn one mode after cycling through the whole thing.
That's a sick sounding pedal! Tons of options on it, nice demo!
Love your playing, Rabea. You make this pedal sound great.
Dude, your playing is over the top. Brilliant!!!
04:55 His face makes me believe...Boss did a great job 🤘😎
All you need from an Overdrive concept...Great sounding as well..Well done Boss..
😁😁😁 Great demo and playing. Thanks !!
Dude, I picked up the Stacked Drive pedal because of this vid, thank you, great work as always!
Thank you for such an in depth review!
another great effects from boss thanks rabea for the review
Impressive pedal. Wow. Great playing as usual. 🤘
Sounds wonderful!
I love the little nods to Pantera here and there! Great vid thanks!
I'm stoked that you are working with Boss. I know you prefer Boutique shit but they are still a real versatile and solid product. I've always loved them so it's nice to see that you're showing their products.
I enjoy your chanel SSSSOOOOO MMUUUCCHHHH!! Your a monster at showcasing the products!! Great job
I think I’d make better choices in life if Rabea was playing guitar in my head.
Boss are really killing it at the moment! If I had the money I totally would buy one of these.
Love this pedal!
Really liked the video Rabea. Nice and concise given the amount to get through. It would be particularly nice to have some time tags in the description for different parts / sounds / presets in the longer video demos you do. Overall really useful video.
I was planning on getting the Angry Driver but now I am sort of torn between this and that!
Sounds fantastic
This is a really solid review. Nice work.
Love your videos. My OD200 arrives Friday.
Woooow Loved This.. i need this pedal!
Interesting. No-one is complaining about "digital" "Buffered by-pass" etc. Maybe people are simply starting to listen with their ears, and not pre-conceptions. Would be a pleasant change! And yes, on my Focal Alpha 80s in my studio room, this pedal sounds great. Might even buy one, after trying one out, if I can find one on demo here in rural France!
Sorry, what does that mean? It's a digital pedal, not analog?
I bet Boss puts a new type of buffer in these new pedals simply because of how much easier it is to design something with a much more transparent buffer than ever before.
It's not a digital pedal tho, It's a hybrid pedal; four of the presets are fully digital, matching the fully digital stomps they're replicating, & the others are analog circuity, edited digitally.
@@iseeu-fp9po I'm not sure what he means either. It's not a digital pedal, It's a hybrid pedal; a few of the presets are fully digital, they match up with the fully digital stomps they're replicating, & the others are analog circuity, edited digitally.
I think it sounds better than the Revival Hot Rod...and at a third of the price...
Many flavors of HEAVY, played with virtuosity!
Damn thats one of the best sounding pedals iv ever heard
Anyone can use words in demos...but nothing makes a point quite like great playing and badass guitar faces!Keep up the killer demos...even if they are killing my wallet.Rock on brother!!
thank you Bea! i'm sold out with this OD. be getting one soon
Very nice, thank you.
Very versatile pedal sounds fantastic
Great job thank you 👏👍
Fantastic Demo!!!!
This pedal sounds really good. Going to have to get one.
Another good pedal to my collection
You sir are a beast!
"On a Metalzone, MORE is always MORE." 12:43
Awesome!
I'm so glad Rabea is doing his own vids! He is easily a virtuoso, or maybe it's just the hair! :)
Just order my 2nd one, for another board i use for blues and rock. great video.
Damn, that thing sounds awesome.
It seems to me the 200 series of pedals take their game up a notch over the plethora of other pedals. I really enjoy Boss effects and the tones Rabea was getting out of it were amazing even with the compression inherent in UA-cam vids.
Wow, This pedal is very dynamic
Good Rippin' Rabea!
Wow. Nice playing dude.
I still have the. Twin pedal OD-20 and always love that yellow box even include a rockman dist
I was really impressed with how this pedal sounds, I love how versatile it is
Great video!!
Another quality product from Boss.
Also what a great price, I guessed it would be around £400 before I clicked on Anderson's price. Got to get one now.
The 4 channel switch option is amazing. The first couple bs, ts, sounded like SRV style strat tones then X-Dist vs X-Metal for rhythm tones, even Brown imo add delay and reverb for solo or lead tones. Fuzz is Hendrix or Eric Johnson tones. Noise gain option is the best especially for Djent and tight full Gain
RABEA always ROCKS! SLAP LIKE!
*Davey504 wants to know your location
OMG, I'm calling the police.
I'm going to his channel now. TYVM.
No one called me out on misspelling his name. NOOBS. I need therapy now.
@@Terrible_Peril Checkmate spellers!
You need to borrow Joerg Sprave's catch-phrase: "Let me show you it's features!".
@Return of the Native good point. You'd also need the huge laugh: "HA! HA! HA!"
Great package of all the distorsions of the GT1000 in a small box !! + noise gate ! Smart !
...and two drives in series or parellel... Pretty big bang for the buck...
First, love the tone you just get out of whatever with your hands. You have good tone. Second, appreciate interjecting common type guitars like Strat and Paul where a lot of people know what those sound like. Thanks, and great job!
I'm playing a Boss GT1 through a 1x12 Trutone cab with a Jensen blackbird speaker and a small 10w homemade amp with mesa tubes in it. sounds great.
FAB!
nice chops
Everything set to noon, switches pedal on, sounds killer! Done. 😂
That sounds like one beast of a usable pedal! Geeez!
One od to rule them all. The boss golem.
Nothing can beat boss in the pedal industry
plus as he says on a website review, drives can be stacked in series or parallel, that is really cool a lot of awesome options.
from his review:
The only thing I’m not clear on is where you select between Serial and Parallel Drive + Boost modes. The manual talks about STRUCTURE being SERIES or PARALLEL - but there are no illustrations to underline that. I would guess that these would be additional settings found within the Parameter selection of the pedals - after the Boost Types, and somewhere in the mix with the PRE and POST Gain/Boost settings.
UPDATE! - Not sure if the manual has been more recently updated or I missed this fact initially, but the STRUCTURE is set by hitting the PARAM and MEMORY buttons simultaneously to enter Settings Menu Mode - you then rotate the PARAM knob to the appropriate option which is ’Str’ then you click and rotate to select either SEr (Serial) or PrL (Parallel) then click PARAM button to select, and PARAM and MEMORY simultaneously once more to exit Settings Menu.
JJ skyflyer Thanks for that update. I was trying to suss this out
Thanks for the info... ☺️
Even with the many tones in a box context, I'm starting to 'believe' that 249.00 is worth parting with to get 12 OD choices 'and' control with MIDI. This way, if you have a MIDI controller, you don't really need to add a pedal switcher to obtain 'program' changes. Also saves space if your'e replacing 3 pedals or more.
Rabea is one of the best reviewers out there currently. Good job man!! Bottom line Boss 200 is worth a roll of the dice.
RABEA has got to be one of the most well rounded musicians, i mean this guy goes from light gain to real metal riffs, best review for boss yet,im buying an Od-200 great review.keep rockin
Boss is great. Still use my me80 direct to PA. I like that this pedal has memory.
Rabea plays pretty good blues!
that FUZZ sounded AWSOME
Hey Rabbea. Nice pedal demo. I enjoyed listening to your playing and the Boss OD-200 is a great sounding pedal. Don't know if I'd spend the money on it though. I really didn't like the Stratocaster single coils with this pedal. I think it sounded much better with Humbucker guitars. Anyway just thought I'd chuck my two cents worth in. I'm also an ex-British patriot living in Tasmania/Australia. Keep up the great video pedal reviews. Love your work man!
Amazing video, thank you! May I ask, if possible, please, do a video for expression pedal with this Boss OD 200. Thank you!
Get one and devote a whole weekend to getting your ideal 6 best sounds. Save these in memory and set the pedal to toggle between only these 6. That's it for guitar heaven. :)
That intro music was absolutely fantastic.. I wish there are tabs or two separate tracks to learn it.
Gets carried away and goes off! That's why this is the best review of the O D 200. Waiting for mine to arrive...
this pedal looks like something you'd see attached to an IV pole in the Intensive Care Unit at your local hospital
Damn good call, I've been trying to figure out where I'd seen this before!
Lol... Gotta say that it's a pretty slick looking pedal...
Found it really useful. Once in a band setting it sounds great… it does on its own tbh… I’m not a bat and don’t hear fizz at 15 gazzilllion hertz. The post boost function is incredibly useful.
Hey Rabea, great vid and playing (as always) - is there a way of preselecting the boost when you turn a memory selection on do you know? I.e. can you set up a dirty rhythm with lead boost on a memory slot but go straight from clean to boosted lead sound with one stomp? Thanks.
Stonking review and pedal!
Boss for a good drive? Nah that just because Rabea 😌
I love the trolling of the metalzone lol "more is always more" I love that pedal too but by turning down the gain and getting crunchy fuzzy type tones
15:56 Fear Of The Dark
D. Scribe screeeeeeam for meeeeeee
It's really cool, I pre ordered it so I've had it for a few weeks now, only used it a couple of times, trying the different modes in front of an amp, in the FX Loop return and it's definitely a lot of fun the the overdrives and distortions sound really good, but I have better distortions and better overdrives, just in my personal opinion. I'm not knocking it, I'm pleased I bought it and it's a keeper.
The gate works great by the way :)
What pedals would they be? Would love yer prospective on them ✌
Love this video! Question: do you know if this pedal can be controlled by a midi foot switch? The only thing I don’t like about this pedal is that there is no back switch for the presets. So I’m curious if you can assign each present to and external midi foot switch? Thanks again for the awesome content!
glad i got one, theyre on sale on amazon right now
sounds great!! love BOSS products my friend!! I still, to this day, use my BOSS ME-70 pre-interface, prior to a plugin/amp sim etc.
so much improved over those 2014 Big Sky reviews.
Rabea - amazing as ever.
Would you choose this or the Strymon Riverside in a shootout? Watched you demo both pedals, and you have loved both.
Awesome video! Was thinking of buying an all tube amp to replace my current amp. Just plug this into the clean channel and be done with it.
the gate thing is cool
Bea your tone always has an awesome subtle but hi-fi ambience - what are you using for reverb/delay for this "just a hint" style tones?
Rabea has gotten to the point it doesn’t matter what he plays through he can make it sound good.
Yeah, Mike Hermans syndrome, time to change the (favourite) reviewer? ;)
Would be fun to see someone put together a really bad (but not silly) board, but still having the normal types of effects. So no HM-2 and 5 Mikus.
Then have a bunch of different people play that rig and try to get it to sound good.
After all it’s not just about spending the money, you also need to know how to twist the knobs :)
@@flekkzo great idea!! :D
