Review: Cheap, but gooooood... very good. - I bought this pedal because my 6+ year old BOD100 kinda broke (just the plastic casing). I have fixed it with glue, and it holds up, but it has highlighted that nothing lasts forever. But the BOD100 is still on my pedal board and is now used as a booster. The BOD400 has taken over as my main overdrive pedal, and is mostly the same (bar the name). I did notice a slight tone difference, maybe a tad more aggressive, so I adjusted it to get back the tone I had before. No trouble. I can tell you that with this cheap overdrive, I have had many compliments on my saturated sound, being on stage or recorded. A friend of mine has a recording studio, and when I sent him some recordings, he asked me what my saturation was, as he really liked the tone. Not bad for a pedal less than £20... One niggle (which doesn't concern me really) is the opening of the battery casing which is a bit awkward. I do not care as it is plugged in my generator, but people using batteries might find it not great. I thought I'd mention it. Now, addressing the bad reviews saying that it is crap, cheaply made of plastic etc... Yes it is made of plastic. I am careful with my stuff and don't jump on my pedal board while playing. My BOD100 lasted (and still lasts after the aforementioned supergluing) many years, and have never had an issue.
Review: Very versatile overdrive pedal. - Surprisingly heavy even though case is plastic. Seems very sturdy. Pots feel good. Bought mainly to use with analogue/digital synths. Much better than my other overdrive/distortion pedals (Proco Rat/tubescreamer/etc) for this. Doesn't lose all the really low frequencies. EQ controls very useful for adding immense bottom end and higher harmonics. Dry/wet control allows me to add the right amount of grit/fuzz to low frequencies without overwhelming original signal compared to other pedals - eg. Rat, etc. Sounds awesome on electric guitar with all dials maxed but wouldn't leave much room for a bass guitar in the mix! It's also less noisy than my other pedals (Note - I use a usb powerbrick and adapter to power all pedals as mains adapters gives me noise). Only negatives are knobs are tightly packed for tweaking on the fly - it's a boss style pedal - and cant be used to boost signal levels when set to full dry as output ends up about same as when bypassed. Extremely good product for the money.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Will this allow me to be a rock star?**
A: This will help considerably but the main prerequisites to being a rock star are: being either impossibly pretty or unfeasibly grotesquely ugly, tight leather trousers, a suitably raddled-looking girlfriend and a heavy drug habit. Nail these first and then buy the pedal.

**Q: Is it compatable for bass guitars ?**
A: Yes it is. I use mine on a bass and it sounds good.

**Q: I’ve bought this for my other half but it seems there’s no where to put a 9V battery in it. Am I right?**
A: There are 2 plastic pip/ hinges holding the footswitch on. Use a pen to push them in and remove the foot pad and there is the battery compartment. This should be described in the instructions.

**Q: Will this help with pickup noise? I use a guitar with P90s, which generate a lot of hum and noise.**
A: Kind of. With a low threshold setting and low decay it'll just mute the sounds of hum when not playing. It will definitely help though.
