I like the sound of my block MXR Distortion Plus. I am curious...are there any Boss pedals that come close to its sound? I was wondering about the OD-1, in particular. I prefer my DOD 250 on some days, so I would be interested to hear any advice.
It's not surprising that you like the Dist+ and the DOD 250 because both circuits for those pedals are very similar other than some different component values for each pedal...
The Dod cleans up better and overdrive kicks in at about quarter to.
Both pedals create a "natural" kind of distortion, as in, they do not add much colour to the amp.
Bosspedals which come close are the BD-2, and it is the only one really. The distortionsound of BD-2 is different but the kind of character it displays is similar: Does not add much colour to your original amptone. Another point: The BD-2 does have more volume and is more versatile [bright boost!!] compared to the other two.
Quality of distortionsound is best on the Dist.+ but that may be my personal preference as all three of them are great pedals for kicking your amp into a natural kind of overdrive.
