Boss ODB3 - answered thanks

[clauster]

Hi Guys,

The Boss ODB3 has tone controls and a mix control. So, does the EQ work on just the distortion or on the clean too?

If you leave the distortion all the way down, you can use it like a "dirty" 2 band EQ.

So yes, the EQ affects both your clean and dirty.

I should clarify - if you have the blend all the way to clean, you have a clean 2 band EQ.

I haven't played this pedal in a LOOONG time and I remember it being always slightly gritty even with the blend to clean. This is not the case, you can have a perfectly clean bass and treble EQ for your clean tone.

Thanks, I was hoping it just acted on the distortion. Back to plan A.

You could always run it in a parallel loop and blend in your unaffected dry.

That's plan A (get a blended loop pedal and stick my bass blogger in there, then add an EQ pedal in the loop before the Blogger). Just trying to keep my number of pedals to a number that doesn't require a pedal board (I know: weird huh?)
