I just built the Blue Overdrive with the mod pack. I also have a Keeley Fat Mod Boss BD 2.

To my ears, the Blue Overdrive sounds a little smoother while the Boss sounds slightly harsh.

Personally, I like the Blue Over drive a little better.

Any reason why the difference in sound?

Did you build to stock specs or do some/all of the mods?

I just bought the pedal kit and I also bought the mod pack that's sold by BYOC. Nothing unusual.

Even though Keeley did the same mods, he's still starting with a stock BOSS pedal. The BYOC is using better parts to start with. One could argue that the BYOC PCB is laid out better to start with as well. And the BYOC is true bypass. I can't empirically say that these difference are what make it sound better, but they are what is physically different between the two.
