STEP 5:
You’re done! Let’s dive into the
Boss Tone!
SO, WHAT
DOES IT
SOUND LIKE?
It sounds like a true overdrive-
distortion hybrid, with some killer
light drive tones available in the
center position, and increasing
levels of fuzz available with the
toggle switch. The Volts control
sounds as if it’s smoothing out
the waves as you turn it up,
creating a light smearing that
sounds amazing. The Attack
control is really the same thing
as your guitar’s volume knob,
so leaving the Attack cranked
as you fiddle with your volume
knob is just gravy. The diode
selections drop the volume a bit,
so you will have to turn the pedal
up to compensate. Experience
the legend with our own Andy,
playing it into his Deluxe Reverb,
and hear a pedal he said sounds
like “fuzz should.”
