Behringer OD300 Overdrive Distortion
Behringer · pedal
The Behringer OD300 is an overdrive and distortion pedal based on the Boss OD-3 circuit, covering the tonal range from clean boost through moderate overdrive into light distortion. A dual-mode design lets players select between overdrive and distortion voicings, each with independent gain character. The OD-3 topology preserves more low-end content than earlier Boss overdrive circuits and delivers a fuller, less mid-focused sound than the classic SD-1. Suited for blues, classic rock, and country applications where natural, dynamically responsive gain is preferred over modern high-gain saturation. A cost-effective entry point to the Boss OD-3 circuit sound.
