Yes, but choose a pedal with a usable tone/EQ section. With transistor or modelling amps, start with lower gain and set the level so the pedal does not make the top end harsh.

Like new

Overdrive effect pedal that was passionately designed by the master engineers at BOSS in Japan and delivers a premium sound based on the classic BD-2 Blues Driver. Crafted with an ear for highly refined sound, it takes the classic Blues Driver grit to a new level with all-discrete analogue circuitry. Standard mode captures the classic tone while Custom mode delivers new body and sustain – both of them are highly responsive to picking dynamics and volume changes. Dimensions: 73 x 129 x 59 mm. Weight: 430 g.
