Product Description
The Boss ODB‑3 Bass Overdrive is a rugged and responsive overdrive/distortion pedal designed specifically to handle the full frequency range of electric bass guitars — including low B on 5‑string instruments — without losing clarity or punch. Built as part of Boss’s Compact Effects series, the ODB‑3 delivers chest‑resonating distortion ideal for rock, punk, thrash, and aggressive playing styles, while retaining definition and presence in the low end.
Featuring a two‑band EQ and a Balance knob that lets you mix your clean and overdriven signal, the ODB‑3 gives players precise control over their tone, from subtle drive to heavy distortion with character. The pedal can be powered by an included 9 V battery or an optional AC adapter, and its compact, sturdy stompbox design makes it stage‑ready and road‑tough.
