Refreshingly, the O.D.B breaks from the ubiquitous three-knob Tube Screamer–style overdrive design with its two concentric knobs that control tone/output and drive/dynamic range (soft-knee compression). If you like what you hear from these effects after doing your own auditions, it’s worth digging deeper into this surprisingly innovative and refreshingly affordable line of products. I took a closer look at three of the coolest pedals in Rocktron’s Boutique Series-the O.D.B (Overdrive Dynamic Blues), the Texas Recoiler and the Third Angel Distortion, all of which offer guitarists a great introduction to the Boutique Series’ impressive lineup.
