Boss BD2, SD1 or OD3? How To Choose a Boss Overdrive Pedal that is Right For You

I'm comparing the Boss OD-3 Overdrive, SD-1 Super Overdrive and BD-2 Blues Driver overdrive pedals.
Which do you prefer? Let me know in the comments.

I did this comparison to help me decide which Boss Overdrive pedal I prefer. I thought other players might find it useful when trying to decide which pedal to buy.

I know there are LOADS of other Boss overdrive pedals that I'm not covering, but let me explain why I narrowed it down to just these three. There are other current production Boss drive pedals like the BC-2, ST-2 and OD-1X but they are all digital pedals and while that's not a bad thing by any means I simply wanted to stick to analog overdrive pedals for this video. There are also the modified Waza Craft versions, the SD-1W and BD-2W that many people might prefer but I decided to stick with just the stock versions because I feel if you understand how the stock versions of these pedals sound first, then you can better decide after that if you might prefer a modified version. As for the many great out of production overdrive pedals that Boss have made, I'm afraid I'm just sticking to the current production models in this video.
