BOSS OD 200 vs Tube Screamer vs KLON Centaur

[@1011skarn]

I own the OD 200. To get tons of quality OD sounds at $249 is insane. If my budget was unlimited, sure, I'd get the individual pedals. I promise you no one at a venue knows or cares what your pedal board is if you play well. Well worth the money and the options.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Salvatore, thank you for sharing your opinion!

[@OrangeMicMusic]

I’m planning to get a OD-200 so thanks a lot for this demonstration :) In my opinion in a band situation it wouldn’t be any difference and the best way to tell if someone can recognize the difference is a double blind test. This is the ultimate test and it was failed by many audio professionals when it was designed to show if someone can actually hear any differences between audio sources.

You are welcome Michael and I'm happy to have been of some help! Thank you also for sharing your opinion!

[@ikealamp53]

Thx Leo. Great demonstration. I'm ordering the Boss as soon as available.

After watching this i bought wampler tumnus and mesa grid slammer. Thanks for the video Leo.

You are welcome!!! I'm happy you find it useful.

[@adamherring6693]

really useful video, the fact that you get a very close to the original pedals is enough for me. im looking forward to getting mine and setting it up and being able to recall all my settings from song to song, rather than always bending down and changing the gains and volumes different songs.

Hi Adam, thank you!

[@0wangchong0]

find this video. oh my god..... it's not just a comparing video... but also a great documentation of how the parameters should be for the od 200 users.....

The OD 200 will save you a ton of money on pedals. I have one, it is fantastic.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Salvatore, thank you for sharing your opinion!

[@joshualett6536]

I own a tube screamer and the Boss OD 200. The tube screamer always has more “noise” than boost. Lack of boost and abundance of “noise” from the Ibanez always bothered me.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Joshua, thank you for sharing your opinion!

[@wabisabi6802]

Nice! Excellent vid. With the OD-200, you can stack 2 drives in any combination , yes?

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Wabi, thank you for your message! As far as I know you can not, but you can add a boost pre or post ... with boost and overdrive you are gonna have a lot of gain!!! thank you for your interest in my channel!

[@wabisabi6802]

@@LeoGibsonGtr i see. Thank you. 😉

[@SuicideVan]

Yes, you can stack any two voicings, and you can run them either in series or parallel.

[@LeMans512]

Superb demo.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Thank you, really appreciated!!!

[@ac81017]

Hi, new here. Your video was a great help. I'm had most of the classics Boss od,ds1, pro co rat, tubescreamers and so on. My problem has been all the noise that you get from classic vintage pedals and as soon as you put a noise gate in the chain I find that I kills the sound or take out the life and personality of the pedal. So for a guy like me who wants ds1, OD, heavey metal, blues driver and a tube screamer , I think the OD200 my be the one or is it better to buy the originals? Cheers

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi William, if you like the sound of the OD 200, in my opinion it's a pretty good option. Thank you for your message!

[@jmacc9876]

I can vouch for the od 200 being very good and tweakable for subbing for other pedals/tones that I like to use. I'm not a huge metal guy so I won't vouch for the metal zone or the quality of any of the really high gain modes. It would have been nice to include a Rat type of pedal mode and a Rangemaster type of booster if they could have but I'm not picky too much. The screamer and klon klone are great, I personally also love the Boss Blues Driver, OD, Distortion and the Stack Drive modes which have very usable low to mid gain to mid-high tones. Great to set up presets and change tones on the fly and the eq is very powerful on this guy too.

[@AlecBourneMidiMadScientist]

Very subjective stuff. Be it the od200, or most other modelling methods, being 95 to 99% close is fine and easily outweighed by the fact you have presets and individual control over so many parameters. Instant recall and better organization plus eliminating entirely needing to tweak knobs on several drive pedals and actually powering and troubleshooting any patch cable issues all disappear. Live it is one thing and a lot gets trampled in the mix. Recording you may want the originals and midi loop switchers for the convenience of rearranging your pedal order. In more adapted situations modellers will offer far better routing options and running drives in parallel here is a truly excellent thing

[@gadisdesa7314]

The best compare pedal

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Thank you, appreciated!

[@crazyFrankyy]

Hello Leo! You have a great video, can you please do a od-200 with some polyphonic synthzier like novation peak for example!

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Thank you! I'm pretty curious, also because I've never tried a novation peak: do you think the novation peak has some sounds similar to the one of a distorted guitar? Thank you for your message and your interest in my channel !!!

[@crazyFrankyy]

@@LeoGibsonGtr Yes of cource ! It's high level synthesizer, he can so many sound included string sound and he have a analog distortion and drive on board. And very interesting how he sound with boss pedal!

[@YOutsider]

Dude! I LOVE your accent. Great comparisons. With headphones, the OD-200 cannot react dynamically like the analog pedals.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, thank you! Tank you also for sharing your opinion with us!

[@erickpontes2564]

Close your eyes and listen to the pedals again and i bet you won't notice any difference in "dinamyc". Actually, in my opinion "dinamyc" is a thing that you feel when you play a pedal more than hearing it. So that's why most of the guitarists prefer analog pedals than digital processors but for the audience there will exist no difference. So is hard to me to believe that your perception is so accurate that you felt the pedals being dynamically different. Maybe your eyes said that to you and not your ears but I respect your opinion. Cheers from Brazil.

[@TimO-wt9sz]

Leo your fender with red dial is it solid state.

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Tim, no it's an old all valve amp. It's called Fender The Twin Red knobs.

[@rafaelturse]

Has anyone succeeded in connecting a dvp4 as an expression pedal?

[@Briansgate]

can the od-200 mimic a plexi sound? (without using a marshall amp)

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi, I don’t think. You have great emulation of the Tube screamer and of the Klon, but in my opinion there is not a distortion that can substitute a Plexi. Thank you for your message!!!!

[@Briansgate]

@@LeoGibsonGtr Fair enough. Thanks for the reply!

[@netcatfulful]

Splitting hair... Different but you really have to be there listening for the differences. This Boss is a total winner

[@LeoGibsonGtr]

Hi Tim, sorry for late answering...I'm getting a lot of messages and requests and I'm not always able to answer all of you...I'm sorry about that...Let me understand better your problem: What do you mean with "stack the drives"? Your need is to have the boost and the drive together, in series or parallel?

[@TimO-wt9sz]

@@LeoGibsonGtr hi leo in series or parallel. Give you options of control via the three tone knobs and in par is controlled at the top .i read it in the manual but it does not say how to choose between the two.thanks leo You rock

Not really that rock n roll though is it? I mean all that fiddling around with expensive equipment in order to determine which one sounds most um rock n roll? Would you even bring this gear to CBGBS, the Hope and Anchor, or whatever or would you worry about whether it was gonna get stolen?

[@bibelgaming4524]

Not at all. My boss super overdrive is a lot better than boss od 200 sim. I returned the od 200..

[@consciousness7899]

I compared od-200 with many analog drive pedals. My conclusio is od-200 is good and may be better than original pedals in some aspects. only annoying thing is the display that do not show levels for saved patches.
