Known for its affordability and quality, the BO100 stands out as a versatile tool suitable for a wide range of musical genres, from blues to rock and beyond.

One of the primary features of the Behringer BO100 is its classic overdrive circuit, which is designed to deliver that sought-after tube-like response.

Meanwhile, the Distortion knob adjusts the amount of grit and saturation, enabling users to dial in everything from a gentle boost to full-blown distortion.

Additionally, the pedal features true bypass switching, which allows for unhindered signal flow when the pedal is disengaged. This ensures that the original tone of the guitar is preserved, maintaining clarity and quality. The robust, compact design makes it easily transportable, suitable for both studio sessions and live performances.

The Behringer BO100 operates on a standard 9V DC power supply, and it can also run off a 9V battery for convenience. This flexibility makes it user-friendly for players who are often on the go or those who prefer to play in different environments.
