The OD-2 was manufactured as a replacement for the OD-1 in the mid 1980s and uses only discrete components. It has 3 potentiometers for level, drive, tone control and a switch for selecting two modes of operation. When set to the OFF position the sound is similar to the OD-1 but in the turbo mode it generates more gain and distortion.
