This thing is so powerful. There's a ton of gain on tap, way more than you'll ever need. The dual channels makes it very useful. I was going to get the regular BE-OD but last minute decided on the deluxe and thank God I did. Having separate dirt for rhythm and lead is fantastic. Or I can get a classic rock dirt sound and switch to a treble boosted high gain metal sound with the click of a button. I pulled 3 other dirt pedals off my board because this can do what they do but better.

Just what I needed�

Really great, amp-like pedal. Responds very well to pick dynamics. I have no need for super saturated metal gain... and my amp has a LITTLE natural breakup to it when played at band volume. So I just popped it open and cranked back the gain knobs inside for each channel. It sounds worlds better than any of the higher gain pedals I have tried. More natural. I'm definitely a "tube amp pushed to the point it might explode" kind of guy... but that leaves very little headroom on most amps for solo boosts in a 2 guitar band. And does not endear you to many sound guys. This little guys gives me 2 VERY useable distortion sounds at volume unity with my "clean" sound, regardless of what volume I have to put my amp at. And it works very well with boost pedals after it. Coming from an obsession with "transparent" overdrives... I was concerned that this pedal would be just too hairy for me. It is not. It shines at lower gains too. Really anything past Tom Petty style overdrive is totally fair game. And considering it wound up taking the place of a couple of $200 boutique overdrive pedals... the price is actually pretty reasonable. Fully delivered on what I expected with a LOT of room to grow if I start dipping into some meaner sounds. Highly recommend to any gigging guitarist who is going to be using a moderate to high amount of gain on a regular basis.

I had the BE-OD and actually didn't love it. Crushing metal tones, but I needed mids. Also, the presence was too touchy and the tight control was useful, but confusing. I returned it and got the BE-OD Deluxe expecting to be disappointed, but NO! This is what I was looking for. As metal as a Revv G3 with full mids (or not) and the issues I had complained about above were all solved. Presence knob seems to work better and is ideal for me at noon. The 3-Way tight switch is killer! This makes it easy to dial in new sounds without losing the old ones. I use it in all 3 positions. The gain range is improved. Setting the gain at noon is no longer way, way too much. The mid control just makes this pedal for me. The blue channel is awesome. Hard to believe it's the same pedal, just different settings. Maybe it was voiced differently, I'm not sure? I just love it for low gain clarity style & tapping tones. I go ESP Horizon, Seymour Duncan pickups into a clean Fender Princeton or Bassman. Hope this helps. Thanks for reading.

Wow this box is amazing. As good as it gets and with channel 1 screaming and channel 2 kicked back a little. There isn't a sound you couldn't pull out of this thing, from ACDC to Metallica to Alice in Chains... I've got it all in this OD Deluxe.
Adding the mid knob was great, subtle but just enough to matter. I really can't say enough about it. Currently running just 9v but hearing the 18v opens up more headroom?! Look out!
Love the pedal and love Sweetwater for fast shipping. Keep on rocking
