Peavey max series combos vs head and cab

Ive been looking into bass amp recently and i really love the beautiful overdrive sound seen on this peavey max 208 combo -

my question does the minimax 600 head produce the same overdrive sound? ive noticed the 208 has and overdrive switch and the minimax 600 has a boost switch in the same position, do these buttons do the same thing and are just labeled differently? or do they produce different sounds?

Thanks
