    Marshall Bluesbreaker 2.

    It has the merit of having the personality certainly there much better, it does not really respect the original signal and is fairly rough in all but never for me gn same.

    NOTICE GLOBAL

    Pedal buy 500 bullets in 2001, I've always loved that fat side and thick, I possde other pedals better quality but not as far dlivrent that sound "Marshallian", so no dgueux advisor level report qualitprix is ​​not theft!

    This pedal is probably underestimated and yet !!!

    It is a boost + a Marshall overdrive typed Bluesbreakers so hot enough.

    UTILIZATION

    It's very simple

    ON a boost but you can not adjust the treble or bass boost of

    It also has an overdrive with drive, tone and volume: the sound has a tendency to be the "woman tone" of Clapton

    SOUND QUALITY

    The sound is amazing for boost
    THE BOOST
    basically, it wants to make the sound of an amp lamps: you can have the crunch so without increasing the volume of the amp

    Otherwise, it enables clear sound dirty = have a great sound very nice crunch and very warm
    very blues and rock to 70's we will say

    Otherwise, it enables clear sound dirty = have a great sound very nice crunch and very warm
    very blues and rock to 70's we will say

    Fans of Gary Moore, Paul Personne and other bluesmen, it'll give you that if you have a good amp and a good scratch

    therefore, a crunch BEAUTIFUL and if you already have an overdrive or distortion, it will add heat and let ente notes
    beauty and power, it can be very hard to bottom

    THE BLUES OVERDRIVE
    it is good but I prefer the BOOST

    Small downside: the ovedrive could have been more aggressive (question eq)

    and for the boost, I wanted a treble-bass setting (especially acute)

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have for years

    I have not tried the latest boost other brands

    The sound is very warm in boost: it changes completely and as no other pedal the original sound
    Cheap prices

    Double pedal effect
    - Drive a priori modeled on the legendary amp of the same name
    - Boost

    4 settings: choice of mode (drive or boost setting), drive, tone control and volume

    for more features reviews and see other manufacturer

    UTILIZATION

    Very easy to use

    Boost Mode is fine in addition to a lot of drive and amp is easily adjusted by turning the volume only

    The Drive mode is controlled with 3 knobs that seem to be quite progressive.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Drive Mode provides a very round drive (I do not know if it is in the vein of the amp of the same name), although it lacks a bit of heat
    Blues, boogie, rock fat sound quite in these strings.

    The pedal works very well on all the amps I've had Marshall MG50DFX (transistor), 1987X, Orange AD30, Peavey Classic 30, Laboga Alligator 5201s and little Fender Champion 600, and this whether in its boost mode as well that drive.

    OVERALL OPINION

    This is my first pedal, and it is part of my essential.
    At the time the issue of choice was difficult with conventional TS9, TS808, but the Marshallian tone and scope conquered me (at the time this drive was ideal to give more character to the MG50 I owned).
    Today I almost operates essentially boost mode with my Laboga a drive with more body and warmth.

    its price is also advantageous

    You choose your mode.
    Boost mode, only the volume knob is active. It allows to select the desired volume boost. (Indeed I use)
    Overdrive mode, the tone affects the tone and drive the level of saturation: the light crunch crunch angry any more.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had some time.
    I use it only for the boost in the effects loop of my amp.
    To highlight the lead parts on the guitar is impeccable.
    After the overdrive lack of heat ... lack of lamps.
    But I there a good boost easy to dose for 40 €.

    I do not have the manual, but it is not necessary.
    The sound editing is very simple.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The grain of the pedal is quite interesting, quite natural.
    Its clear, the rate of gain can reach a saturation mode frankly hard rock blues. Boost mode does not alter the sound, or so imperceptibly, and just increases the volume so low rates of gain are sent as input.

    With distortion, boost mode can push the saturation of the amplifier without altering the character, practical and effective. The overdrive is muddy, seems easier to play, like a tube screamer but with less mids and better bass response.

    It is nickel rehearsal when you must retrieve a Marshall MG100 or Fender FM212R for saturation better than amps, less noisy and more warm.

    I can not wait to test it on a Fender Hot Rod or a Marshall Plexi.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Pedal, given its name, may be supposed to simulate the sound and behavior of a Marshall Bluesbreaker. There is nothing headroom is far more important than the amp of the same name.
    I rather think that Marshall wanted to provide the fortunate few blues guitarist a simple, affordable and well-built to boost the amp in all circumstances, or to give a little color "Marshallian" his Vox or Fender.
    We almost regret not being able to walk mode switcher.

    The value for money is excellent, it should be emphasized, especially since we often see this pedal opportunity for low prices.

    The pedal is not level or other Fulltone Xotic but did not really ashamed to face the Boss most common and can be a good investment.

    I did not have to pay this pedal, I lend it, and it helps me often!

    A good choice!

    Boost and blues drive of your choice.

    UTILIZATION

    Simple, clear, easily accessible, there is nothing special except the switch Boost / Blues. In Boost mode, it only controls the output volume.

    SOUND QUALITY

    I found the function Blues not pleasant and rather noisy with the shovels I use (and Edwards Les Paul Horizon), may be a concern with the high output level. However, the boost function produces a slight grain crunchy that I find beautiful.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Admittedly, I only use the boost for the small crunch sound it gives, but we must admit that I can hardly do without. I use this pedal almost constantly.

    Very good and solid indeed. Quite easy to change the battery as well - not that I've done so often.

    Really good value for money - I love it. I would say that I find it useful to stick with a tried & tested setting. Maybe you experiment at home with the pedal, but don't mess about when you're playing for others. Well done Jim Marshall!

    I bought it in December 2002 at Klangfarbe, Vienna (Austria) new for EUR 65,-
    Since I have a Marshall tube amp I was looking for a suitable overdrive pedal.

    This pedal has two functions:
    1) overdrive for the old vintage blues sound
    2) clean boost for power tube saturation of tube amps

    I have a Marshall JCM 2000 DSL201 amp and the overdrive of this pedal is perfectly in between the clean and the crunch channels of the amp.

    Using just the clean amp channel and the boost of the pedal it is very easy to get a sweet harmonic power tube distortion.

    The positions of the dials are a bit hard to read.

    I was looking for a mild overdrive for my tube amp. I borrowed a Maxon OD808 from the store a week earlier but did not like it that much.
    The BluesBreaker has good sound and I think the boost feature is fantastic for tube amps.
    And you can't beat the price which is easily half of comparable Ibanez or Maxon pedals.

    Marshall Blues Breaker 2

    Marshall BB-2 Bluesbreaker IIPublished on 07/15/02 at 15:00
    I bought this pedal at the Rock Factory in Castleford, England. It cost me £45.

    The thing I like about this pedal is that it has two different modes, Blues and Boost. The Blues mode is used as a normal crunch pedal with drive, tone & level knobs.
    In the Boost mode it bypasses the drive & tone and can be used to 'lift' the volume, ideal for solo's. When used with clean sound with single coil pick-up guitars (Fender's), it adds just a tiny amount of distortion to give a warm drive.
    With humbucking pick-up's (Gibson's) you get alot more gain out it, but can be used as a mild distortion sound.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have the pedals since ending for 4 years, it rarely serves me as trs.

    I have been to pass character TECH series of 21 and for the sound Marschall, so I use the MODEL "British" sound the quality is incomparable even if Obviously there is a nice price diffrence .

    I have not sold the BB2, but will not be long.

    Disappointing

    Marshall BB-2 Bluesbreaker IIPublished on 09/26/11 at 11:10
    (This content has been automatically translated from French)
    This is an Overdrive pedal in the Marshall, analog, with 4 control knobs: one switch "Mode" to two positions (drive and boost), and adjustments Drive, Tone and Volume.

    UTILIZATION

    Like all effects pedals of this type, use is very simple since it suffices to turn the knobs on its desire to find the sound you want.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Unfortunately on this essential point that the Bluesbreaker Marshall II did not convince me. Even with a Fender Telecaster sound loses its slamming, no matter the settings of the effect. It is possible to get a little crunch or distortion but a big sound that comes out is not at all to my taste. Highs do not come out and it seems to play only thr…

    Unfortunately on this essential point that the Bluesbreaker Marshall II did not convince me. Even with a Fender Telecaster sound loses its slamming, no matter the settings of the effect. It is possible to get a little crunch or distortion but a big sound that comes out is not at all to my taste. Highs do not come out and it seems to play only three chords. The boost mode does nothing more since the pedal is supposed to be an overdrive.
    I use a ProCo RAT2 in distortion, and when I tried to combine the two effects, the sound coming out of the amp was just awful, as if choking Bluesbreaker the instrument. In short, impossible to get out good sound with this pedal for me.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I used this pedal a little over a year the time to find that replacement. All the while, in fact, I spent a bit of overdrive. I ended up selling it to buy a Boss Blues Driver, which suits me perfectly. Of course, with the experience I would do not have that choice.
