    In my opinion, this book is a good start to get a real idea of ​​the potential of the contraption.

    SOUND QUALITY

    For me it is not the best overdrive pedal, but it is my favorite. It sounds more "chemical" that Ibanez TS9 (which I also, hence the comparison), but it has more bass and punch. Crunch is delicious and whatever volume level of the amp. This is not the case with "ma" TS9, expressed much better when the receiver reaches a certain volume level. So, when I work at home, I only starts the BD2.Notez it goes very well with other OD pedals or distortion. Mine is silent, so RAS at this level.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I waited a long time before I offer. But I do not regret the purchase. As mentioned above, this is not perhaps not the best pedal in its class but it is very versatile and potentiometers are very effective. Can sculpt 5 or 6 different sounds and usable dice the first hours of operation ... This is a very good pedal for me, very comfortable in blues, R & B and even rock.

    Very simple and multiple uses:

    SOUND QUALITY

    Very good even if the pedals have a light sound more realistic, but will not have the SUPER CLEAN it gives

    OVERALL OPINION

    I compared to the TS9 and vox COOLTRON (sound + light, beautiful, + overdrive acdc trend, but it is less sturdy than other pedals lamps)
    For now, I use that to get a clean sound, more blues, more strat
    or as a treble boost
    and it is great for all that
    I even wanted to put in my two pedals!

    The TS9 is beautiful but cold: less digital sound pt be

    I think you can get tired of the distortion of the blues driver but no sound great clean sound

    Purchased at Kayes Music Scene, Canoga Park, CA for $79.99.
    After consulting with numerous fellow musicians on the best and worst of overdrives. Weighing out the money factors against quality factors and playing with the 2 finalist I settled on the Boss BD2.

    The pure quality of tone I get with the equipment I use was the deciding factor. The price being twenty dollars less than my next option wasn't bad either. The contagious tone from the BD2 is round, expressive, smooth, and sultry. The controls make it easy to dial-up that sound you've been hearing in the back of your head.

    Nothing, it's just what I wanted.

    I bought this pedal from Sam Ash for $80 and it was worth every penny!

    This pedal is so versatile! It blows me away how sensative the knobs are! The slightest twist of a tone or overdrive knob brings about a totally new sound! I could easily gig with just this pedal and have a great amount of versatility. You can go anywhere from the slightest overdrive to a nice, tube amp overdriven tone, to a heavy, loud, grunge overdrive that sounds so impressive. Although the name implies "Blues", you could easily use this pedal for anything from jazz to Rock. I like the color too. and of course, the Boss name guarantees that this thing will outlast me!

Although the name implies "Blues", you could easily use this pedal for anything from jazz to Rock. I like the color too. and of course, the Boss name guarantees that this thing will outlast me!

    There is only one thing about this pedal that could pose a problem - it sucks up 9V batteries like there's no tomorrow! This problem doesn't affect me, however, because I also have the Boss TU-2 Chromatic Tuner and I plug that into the wall with an adapter and then attach my other pedals to my tuner with a daisy chain. So, because I don't use batteries, this doesn't pose a problem for me. I would highly suggest getting the adapter for this pedal, though, because it does use up the battery power pretty quickly. That's my only gripe, even though it doesn't affect me.

    What can I say besides, "It's a Boss!" That says plenty on it's own. This pedal is solid metal construction and is made to outlast the owner. I'll probably be selling this thing on ebay on my bed and it'll be as good as new, due to the infamous Boss quality! :)

    For anything from Jazz to Blues to Rock, this is the pedal for you! Get it! (But get the adapter too!)

    I got my blues driver off ebay. I wanted something that had a little gain for soloing and I did a lot of reading before I got it and I liked it so I got it. I paid 50 dollar's for it and I'm happy I did.

    You can use it with blues or rock or jazz or country. Its small and takes up no room you can take it any where. If you get one it will last you your whole life. You can get a lot of sounds out of it. It sounds some like a tube amp. Goes great with all amps and guitars. I like every thing about it.

    Nothing. I like it all but it eats up 9 volt batteries. You will wan adapter. I like it all.

    Bought used at a local guitar store because I wanted a bluesy sound. I paid about 50$ for it.

    Excellent range of tones, good crunch to it, great for rock, and of course blues. With it set to max, fiddling with the tone knob can get you some heavier sounds too. Amazing for soloing.

    It can almost handle punk, but even maxxed out, it never loses that crunch that it has. Not really a problem for me, because i like it, but you may want somthing heavier depending on what you play.

    It's Boss.

    Bottom line, I play all kinds of stuff when i gig, from weezer to AC/DC, to clapton, to Pearl Jam . . . even a little ozzy now and again . . . this pedal is a favorite.

    Bought in San Diego for the value.
    Paid $60.

    Recently, I had my BD-2 Blues Driver modified by Robert Keeley. (www.RobertKeeley.com)
    It’s officially called a Tube Tone Mod or a BD-2 Mod. Having played many overdrive pedals throughout the years, this pedal, with the mod, is up there with the best. Stock models sound muddy at high gain levels. In addition, the tone knob is virtually useless. It only captures dull to harsh. Robert changes 6 capacitors in all to increase the bass response and change the harshness of the tone control. He uses high quality capacitors instead of what Boss chooses to use. Now, the pedal can dial in bluesy-gritty sounds or high-gain tones of a tube amp. NOT EXA…

Now, the pedal can dial in bluesy-gritty sounds or high-gain tones of a tube amp. NOT EXAGGERATING!! And, it sounds natural. The mod takes out the buzzy sound of a stock model. I can actually use the tone knob to dial in Fender or Marshall sounds. It is currently the only overdrive pedal on my board. I play through an old Marshall Plexi and a newer TSL 100. The pedal sounds very natural with both amps. Even through my practice amp, a Vox solid state 15 watter. Guitars include a Les Paul, Jazzmaster, Tele and a Hamer, and the pedal brings out the best in all guitars.



    IF YOU OWN THIS PEDAL, PLEASE GET THE MOD. IT WILL MAKE THE PEDAL A KEEPER, NOT SOMETHING YOU’RE USING UNTIL YOU CAN AFFORD A BETTER OVERDRIVE PEDAL.




    Stock models sound un-natural.
    With the Keeley mod, the pedal sounds great.

    Constructed well.

    I have only been playing for 1 year, and I I bought the BD for about $75 at a local music store in PA. It is worth the money, very durable, heavy metal casing for its size, like all Boss pedals.

    I got it because my friends brother, he has played for about 7 years, and he used one and i liked it's bluesy tone.

    I like the tones I can get from it. I play a Squier now through a shitty amp,( I am getting a Parker P-38 for x-mas) and it sounds great, without gain it gives a full, clear sound, with gain to 10, it gives a great classic rock/brit blues sound.

    Not much, you might want to get an adaptor because it eats up a 9 volt in about 20 hours. Besides that I can't think of anything else.

    Made of a metal casing( same as all Boss pedals, very durable). I have owned it for about 5 months, and I have had no problems so far.

    If you you need a classic rock/british blues/heavy metal-maybe:) sound in a quality package, the Blues Driver is for you.

    It's been two months that I used and used for virtually any heavy distortion, although I have a DS1, it is a bit more expensive than some other pedals (but less than a TS9) but is the largement.Je the urge everyone who loves the crunch because it is much more polivalete an overdrive or distortion classical and possesses a good sound trs (unlike od / dist boss is even more flexible but with a less beautiful sound)

    Fastoche Edition, heads of ways, I am a tt agree with the adage: If it sounds a quarter of an hour after've plugged in, make changes! or you love to lead ...

    SOUND QUALITY

    It was bought to boost a Fender Champion 30 w. And she said her job! To say it is replacing a lamp, do not push it ... especially when you end up in a acqérir and you compare! But it changes enough through an amp to bring him a grain and a very special warm sound. Very comfortable in overdrive / distos (no death ... the thing that kills slight), I personally find very very typical Vintage 70's. I have a Dirty Proco to sound more current or Fuzz, so I use Boost or Od, only on my 30 w transistors ...
    So config Dues' Starplayer TV, Bd 2, 3 and DD Proco I what I want, at the Surf Garage ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have mine for over 3 years ... (Edit 22 / 02 / 08: I have more, my Od, now is a Jacques TubeBlower ...) Well, actually, my opinion is ... It is a subjective look at the price / quality ratio of Boss and remember that TS 808 is mini three times as much. Their pedals are super strong, the sound is always (or almost) with return (other than CS 3, hopeless, may eventually replace a hair dryer blowing in terms of wedge or a piece of furniture ...), they are expensive new, Always impeccable but after twenty years of hard work and kick (Rangeos, Tiagua, Docs, that's heavy! (the creepers not count ..), do not crachottent, and sell really well ... The power supply is essential, unless you have a stock in Duracell ...
    Apart from the pedals shops, of course, and some old Ibanez or TC, I see nothing that bears comparison with Boss (Edit 22 / 02 / 08: I wrote that myself?? Good desfois is tells a bit of crap: I have since discovered EHX, Visual Sound, Fulltone, the Vox Cooltron, Blackstar, Jacques Stompboxes ... Mea Culpa!). When the pedals plastic shell, to love buying the stuff, too fragile, there's not a serious zicos buy it ... it must be less than 70 euros in VPC ... For cons, need to compare a others according to his model of guitar and amp. Golden Rule, as far as possible, always test a new pedal with your guitar and his amp ... But it is true that boost, it works wonders and you will discover through an amp, without making not a "real" lights ... Miracles is in Lourdes ...
