Boss OD-200 Hybrid Drive

BOSS OD-200 Hybrid Drive

The OD-200 Hybrid Drive takes overdrive and distortion further than ever before, combining BOSS’s decades of tone expertise with modern innovation. Powered by hybrid analog/digital circuitry, it delivers every drive tone you could want in one pedal, from transparent blues grit to massive high-gain walls of sound. With 12 drive modes, 15 boosts, series and parallel gain paths, and an advanced noise gate, the OD-200 is built to be your complete drive solution.

Premium Hybrid Tone Design

The OD-200 blends analog warmth with digital precision, creating a palette of overdrive, distortion, and fuzz sounds that respond like real amps. Classic voices like Blues, Stack Drive, and Fuzz sit alongside modern high-gain options, including Brown and X-Metal. Three advanced “X” modes powered by BOSS MDP technology give unmatched clarity, note separation, and touch sensitivity, perfect for today’s expressive playing styles.

Boost, Shape, and Explore

Every drive mode can be taken further with 15 switchable boost circuits. Run the boost in series for traditional stacked tones or extra volume for solos, or blend it in parallel for unique textures not possible with a single drive pedal. Add in a 3-band EQ and parameter controls, and you have the flexibility to shape your sound for any style or setup.

Silence the Noise, Tighten the Gain

An integrated noise gate ensures your signal stays clear and controlled at all times. Its default setting works seamlessly for most players, while adjustable threshold and decay controls allow for ultra-fast gating, perfect for modern metal riffs that demand tightness and precision.

Easy to Use, Hard to Outgrow

Despite its deep features, the OD-200 is straightforward to use. Dedicated knobs for gain, level, and EQ make dialing in fast, while a parameter control adjusts secondary settings with ease. Save your favorite tones to four onboard memories, switch between them instantly on stage, and use Manual mode for a fifth live option.

Expandable and Stage Ready

The OD-200 goes beyond a standard stompbox. Reassignable footswitches, support for expression pedals and external switches, plus full MIDI I/O give you flexible control over your rig. Chain multiple 200 series pedals together, sync memories, or integrate the OD-200 with advanced switchers for a fully programmable system.
