Guyatone: OD2+

The OD2+ is Guyatone's improved (not that the preceding model was dud to beign with) version of the OD2, a simple overdrive unit with lots of character but now offering 3 voicings (vis the flick switch activation):
  • Shallow: Clean/ very mild drive
  • Middle: Traditional drive
  • Deep: Saturated drive

Despite the 3 modes, the OD2+ remains to be a mild driver in the likes of Ibanez's TS9 but the Deep channel offers the user a grittier drive, which I believe would give Maxxon's OD808 some competition. There is now a tone control for those of us who need more EQ shaping but the sweep isn't too wide to manifest a drastic change in voicing.

PS: Thank you Ebenex for the great service!

bro :-)

the OD2+ uses the JRC 9449G IC chip, an equivalent to the hallowed JRC4558 which underscores the Tubescreamers' signature tone. in any case, i hear tonal difference between the pedals, the reason i bought it.
