i see there isn't really a way to post a poll, but i'm bored and i know like people doing polls.

two questions, with the same set of answers.

1. What is your favorite Boss overdrive through a high gain tube amp:
a) OD-1
b) OD-2
c) OD-3
e) SD-1
f) SD-2
g) BD-2
h) OS-2
i) PW-2
j) HM-2 (i consider this more of an overdrive than a dist)
k) none of the above (list preference)
l) one of the above but modded.

2. What is your favorite Boss overdrive though a solid state amp (or hybrid amp with solid state rectifier):
a) OD-1
b) OD-2
c) OD-3
e) SD-1
f) SD-2
g) BD-2
h) OS-2
i) PW-2
j) HM-2 (i consider this more of an overdrive than a dist)
k) none of the above (list preference)
l) one of the above but modded.

my own answers:
1. OD-1 or OD-3 depending upon what flavor i want.

2. OS-2 for pure OD tone, PW-2 or HM-2 for trying to sound like a tube amp.

for both questions, for a looong time the hm-2 was my only od/distort pedal so i guess its my answer. while i had an od-1 before and a ds-1 recently, when onstage i usually revert use my default hm-2.

I usually prefer a distortion pedal through my valve amp but the OD-1 is still a favorite of mine.

Through a solid state amp, my choice will have to be the FDR-1.

for both, I would use (e), specifically a MIJ SD-1 or my AnalogMan-modded MIT SD-1 (the stock MIT SD-1's are too tinny)...
