Another nice demo and interestingly what isn't mentioned in the majority of YT videos is using it with Single Coil or Humbuckers and different amps, Pedals are reactive and change with different setups and don't think that's ever been mentioned in most YT Videos. Thanks for a sensible review of a great pedal.
The TH-cam algorithm actually worked for once Awesome review mate it’s a crime you don’t have more subs but keep doing this and the audience is inevitable ! Subbed+1
Plastic pedals might also be more tolerant of errant drops onto hard floors. Metal has very little give and will transmit the full force of an impact to the circuit board. Plus, there are many firearms made from plastic.
Yes, I was quite surprised with this pedal. From the little bit of digging I've done, it does seem that the OD100 and OD300 are essentially the same pedal. Presumably, the 300 is an updated version but don't know how they actually differ. They are however both clones of the Boss OS-2.
This is a really good review, I've come back to it (I own one of these but have'nt used it much). In distortion mode, I don't think it sounds far off from the Boss DS-1 or Proco Rat territory. The OD sound is beautiful and warm, as you say. Great playing and licks too, I wish I could play half as well!
Thanks so much for the comment. I do have an DS-1 and have done a video on it. Sounded quite thin to me but apparently it is best used into a slightly driven amp. May have to re-visit that one.
Revisiting my youth and bought two guitars and a Marshall 30 watter, this time around to actually learn and not just make loud noises!!! Subbed, just because you did a cracking job with this review. Speaking of the review, I'm going to order this Behringer because it didn't do too bad with humbuckers , my Squier Showmaster is HSS, and the Epi SG VE is HH. Cheap guitars I know, but for the money I'm chuffed to bits with them. Great channel and content! Off to scour through your other videos now. 👍👍👍☮☮☮ PS: Hope you reach your 1K goal real soon , keep up the great work :)
Cheap guitars nowadays are usually pretty good, especially if it's a Squier. But even if your guitar is cheap, I'm sure your playing is expensive (or will be one day). Keep going and thanks!
Remember that these Behringer pedals, although they sound great, are at the price-point they are because the physical components are the lowest quality Behringer can get away with. And that's fine. It's a $25 pedal. It gives you an idea of what the BOSS equivalent sounds like before you plunk down on a genuine BOSS pedal. I'm currently having an issue with an Ultra Chorus. Output B puts out 3/4 of the volume that Output A does when connected in stereo. It also started cutting out in both channels when I'd strum a chord. I got this one from Sweetwater and they have been great by sending me a fresh one at no charge so I can troubleshoot further and hopefully resolve the issue. If the one Sweetwater sends me does the same thing as the bad one I'll order the BOSS Super Chorus and be done with it. I know I'll feel better about spending the $100 on the BOSS know I used the $25 Behringer pedal as I believe it was intended. I.E. Make them as cheap as possible, eat the returns and refunds, and sell a shit ton of them. It's a genius business model. And if I'm not mistaken Uli (Behringer) recycles all of that plastic that comes in as returns. I get the feeling that they do get a lot of returns, but if you use them as a test run before buying a BOSS pedal, and you don't depend on them to gig with you'll be OK. These are not built for lead foot stomping by any means. That's my 2¢ for what it's worth. Keep on rockin'!!!
I recently picked this up for a keyboard pedal board I'm going to build and I'm including this pedal along with a few others pedals involving Chorus, Delay, Flanger, Phaser, Compressor, Echo and so on.
@@edgarparada3946 This pedal is based on a Boss pedal of the same name (Overdrive Distortion). So it is meant to simulate that pedal. As for sounding similar to the DS-1 or SD-1, I'd say the DS-1 is a bit brighter. I did a review on that a few months ago but I was playing through a 1x12 cab. In this review I am playing through a 2x12 cab which will sound beefier and which might be why the DS-1 sounded quite bright. I'd say the Behringer OD300 (or the original Boss version) are more versatile as they have the option for lower gain. As for the SD-1 I've not tried that pedal yet but I would like to get one. I hope that helps a bit.
Good review! I'm always curious about these Behringer pedals, and other cheap ones that I might be tempted to buy online without ever hearing them first! I'll check out some of your other vids also. Hey, I noticed your accent sounds a little like Chris Buck. Where do you hail from?
Thanks for checking out my review. Those Behringer pedals are worth checking out especially as they're so affordable. Where are you based? I've noticed the prices on Amazon USA jumping a bit but pretty stable on Amazon UK. And thanks for the comparison to Chris Buck, even if it was just with the accent 😂 Chris is from Wales in the UK and I'm from England, also in the UK.
To be honest, I can't really remember. I haven't done a lesson video in a while. But I recently did a TH-cam Short on a soloing idea. Maybe have a look through my older videos. Was there anything in particular you were interested in?
Congratulations on making 1.35k subs ya just got one more off me good review just ordered mine want to play some nirvana got my chorus just need a ds1 clone but cant find one so imma get this tube screamer and a fuzz and have a play sure I'll find a suitable tone make a lot of noise and a load of fun while doing it roll on Delivery day so I can try em sounds like this alone will get me close after I just had my new Seymour Duncan Kurt's pick ups he uses on bleach and nevermind so those pick up chorus and that od 300 should get me close enough I think for now at least till I find me a nice ds 1 or ds 2 prefer the ds 1 thow if I'm honest had one before but alass my big stamps feet killed her and she roars no more but hopefully this get me close till I get one
If I've understood your question correctly, just set the amp for a clean tone (or maybe with some mild drive) which sounds nice to your ears and do the same with the pedal when you activate it. Hope that helps.
To be honest, I don't know those tones specifically. I reckon it would get you in the ball park. Although it might also be worth checking out the Behringer Super Fuzz. I did a video on that and it makes me think of 90s rock for some reason. Forgive me if my spidey-sense for guitar tones is way off.
That would be an interesting test! I've actually been eyeing up the Boss SD-1. But also wondering if it's worth spending the extra money to get the Waza version. If I can get hold of an SD-1 then yes, that will be do-able
I own a behringer vintage screamer pedal so dont really need overdrive. Do you know if this pedal has same distortion as the behringer Heavy Distortion?
I've never tried the Heavy DIstortion so can't really comment. This pedal is based on the Boss pedal of the same name. Maybe have a look to see if the Behringer Heavy Distortion is based on another (maybe Boss) pedal to if there is a similarity. Thanks for watching!
Hello, I have the opportunity to buy the Boss OS-2 Overdrive/Distortion pedal for €60 in the second-hand market or I can also buy this Behringer OD-300 new for €29, which ones do you recommend for a beginner? All the best.
I bought this used and the guy tried to rip me off . He didn't tell me his cable broke off in the unit....it's impossible to remove it by taking apart the pedal....I did fix it and I'm making a video showing how....just be aware it can happen
The Behringer cloned the look but did'nt copy the best thing about Boss pedals- the easy battery access! This is a good pedal though (don't like the color). Behring need to update the design a bit, but hey so do MXR and others (MXR has phillips head screw access)
I'm not sure to be honest. I would think not generally speaking. But I'm sure a lot of people would say the tone is in the fingers, which doesn't really help with your question. That being said, the ability to blend between overdrive and distortion may reveal a Santana sweet spot somewhere in the middle. Sorry I couldn't give a more insightful answer.
@@ProFunctionist Thanks, that’s actually helped, I bought an overdrive/dis and it’s closer to the sound than it was. As for the fingers, don’t think I’ll ever have such, A bit like Gary Moores lol! 🙏🕊🇬🇧
Plastic doesn't always equal junk. They bury plastic pipes under roads for crying out loud. Not all plastics are equal. I own about 30 of these Behringer pedals and they are all amazing. There really isn't much need for a metal housing for a pedal marketed to bedroom players anyways.
@@ProFunctionist Of course they did. That's a little part of what made them "Great". Steely Dan's founders surely "borrowed" from their Jazz and Sci-Fi music heroes too.

10:52 EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED TO KNOW!
great vid, mate. definitely getting the TO800
Glad you liked the video. And also glad you got some specific info out of it too! Hope you enjoy the TO800. Thanks for the comment!
The TH-cam algorithm actually worked for once
Awesome review mate it’s a crime you don’t have more subs but keep doing this and the audience is inevitable !
Subbed+1
That's so kind of you to say. Thanks! Let's hope I can stay on the TH-cam algorithm's good side :-)
I don't do this very often . . . . but your review was spot on! I just subscribed.
I have the OD100, and is extremely great, I'm using by several years and still as new, very strong.
Yes, it's great!
Good Demo. Loved that you put Sir Duke in there!
Thanks for that! Sir Duke is a TUUUNE! I should incorporate more Stevie Wonder in my demos ;-)
Everyone always complains about the plastic but nobody can find images of broken ones.if it breaks you buy a new one for 20 bucks or you rehouse it.
That's a good point!
It's the same plastic that's used on many automobile bodies.
Plastic pedals might also be more tolerant of errant drops onto hard floors. Metal has very little give and will transmit the full force of an impact to the circuit board. Plus, there are many firearms made from plastic.
I was enjoying this. Until you played Stevie. And now I’m loving it. Great demo and wonderful playing. Thank you.
That's such a lovely comment. Thanks so much for for your kind words. I'm very happy you enjoyed the demo and playing. All the best!
You got me with scorpions-the zoo riff🤟
Dude, I just came across your channel, heck ya, I am gonna subscribe, good info here, we need to support you !!!
Duude! That's so kind of you. Thanks so much! I hope you enjoy my other videos too. Appreciate the support!
Great demo , just ordered this thanks!
Thanks! I hope it ticks your boxes. Enjoy!
@@ProFunctionist Sounds like it will✌
Awesome, this is a great overdrive/distortion pedal, one of the best on the market. OD-100 or OD-300, are the same, only diferent edition.

That is literally all of the pedals though

Do u have lessons on soloing
To be honest, I can't really remember. I haven't done a lesson video in a while. But I recently did a TH-cam Short on a soloing idea. Maybe have a look through my older videos. Was there anything in particular you were interested in?

Thanks for that. Next stop, 10k (fingers crossed). Good luck on your tone quest!
Good review thanks
Were you playing the "theme to 90210" at the beginning? LoL. I know Everlong was at the end
Haha! No I wasn't playing 90210 at the beginning... at least not intentionally :-)
Yep look you right in the eyes and pretend to be a good person. I sunscribed
On the amplifier which settings do I have to do? Or just the pedal works itself? Thank you!
If I've understood your question correctly, just set the amp for a clean tone (or maybe with some mild drive) which sounds nice to your ears and do the same with the pedal when you activate it. Hope that helps.
wow nice playing what scale is that? caged?
Thanks so much! Which bit are you referring to?
The beginning few liks
@@josephgreencoat6311 It's mainly pentatonic licks with a little bit of blues scale and harmonic/melodic minor here and there.
Would this peddle be good for playing like 90s songs on? Like Weezer, Nirvana, or Smashing Pumpkins?
To be honest, I don't know those tones specifically. I reckon it would get you in the ball park. Although it might also be worth checking out the Behringer Super Fuzz. I did a video on that and it makes me think of 90s rock for some reason. Forgive me if my spidey-sense for guitar tones is way off.
Turn the volume down in your of pedal.a lil bit .til the noise hoes away and use a noise reducer.it works great.
Thanks for the tip.
Can you test it agains the SD-1?
That would be an interesting test! I've actually been eyeing up the Boss SD-1. But also wondering if it's worth spending the extra money to get the Waza version. If I can get hold of an SD-1 then yes, that will be do-able
Uncle, what do you think if this guitar effect is used for a stage, like on the school field?
I think it should work fine. Especially if you're still at school.
@@ProFunctionist Oke Thank you
