History:
Purchase: I bought this unit because I wasn't satisfied with my amp's overdrive and its possibilities.
I got in for 72,31$ in a store called Musik-Produktiv (the biggest Musicstore in Austria).
What I Like About This Unit: I like the many sound possibilities you have with this pedal.
From a warm tone, to a metallic one.
From overdrive to heavy distortion.
It's also very small and light, and it works with battery so you don't have to plug it, but If you are playing a gig, you can plug it if you want to (with an optional adaptor).
I also like the price, even the Metal Zone is more expensive, though you don't have as many sound varieties.
What I Do NOT Like About The Boss OS-2: Nothing...
Well, you can't handle the volume, tone, drive and colour switches with you foot (you can do this with other pedals like the Boss DS-1, because there, they are bigger and smoother to turn).
OS-2 Quality: Like all Boss effect pedals, it has excellent quality.
Summary: I'd like to recommend this great pedal to everyone who is searching for a compromise between distortion and overdrive (or wants to have both if necessary), to everybody who thinks that the Metal Zone is too metal, and the DS-1 to sharp and meallic.
I was searching for it for a long time, and finally, I found it: OS-2
