Odd One Out

[Thewintersoldier]

Uno, the first. The OD-1. Part of the stoplight series, it was one of the first 3 pedals released in the Boss compact pedal line. It's also the first in a long line of compact boss overdrives and the first afaik that used diodes in the opamp feedback loop and use the patented asymmetrical configuration.

The OD-1 had two variations, the first uses a quad opamp and is the most desirable, and the second uses a dual opamp. This is based on the former. A simple circuit that does not have a tone control and offers a more balanced tone. The sound is like a slightly more lo-fi SD-1 sound as Mike Wong describes it. It's a nice warm sounding pedal with the trademark mid focused sound.

The board offers toggle switches for more tone shaping options but I opted to jumper them for the stock sound. I used a yellow tayda enclosure with UV print. Everyone's favorite Canadian mutant Logan for the simple graphics and knod to the original aesthetic. I currently have an oddity board en route from ppcb so when I build that I will do comparison between the two as the oddity is the dual opamp version of the circuit. I recommend this as a good alternative to the average yats.
