    Moving from a slight crunch an overdrive soutenue.Cette BD2 is very well and fills my
    expectations in terms of drive.Elle not serve as a "distortion" with medium creuss but will satisfy fans of blues / rock.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 2 years mostly on my epiphone valve junior and my Pignose associbr /> has a Danelectro corned beef reverb, for crunch sounds and I enjoy ...
    I do not find him striking a default by Boss that requires the use of a power supply BRAND Boss! under penalty of removal guarantee ...
    Trs good value for money.
    If I had to buy a drive j'largirai pedals of my research to see what happens in competition if they remain a good choice trs.

    Hyper Single

    UTILIZATION

    Trs simple. The manual gives some presets

    SOUND QUALITY

    Discrte pedals (even without playing triggers) Obviously condition to meet a certain level and gain between symtrie (9H-3H 12:00 to 12:00 3H-9H etc ...)
    It's a good surprise, I saw horrible overdrive from this point of view.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Well then I would especially like to say that I spent a lot of time read reviews, watch vidos BMD etc ... I finally bought a secondhand pedals and I find it excellent. The range of sounds is INTERESTED, it's true that the Tone knob is not in hyper-influential and so I "understand" those who make mods that level but hey, there aplein elsewhe…

    on the other hand I would say that as a particular boost pedals is really good, in fact I can not do without ... Voil!

    This is a Boss overdrive pedals.

    A Level, Gain and a tone.

    6.35 A between Jack (guitar) and Jack output 6.35 (amp)

    Works with a 9V battery or power supply.

    Nothing in particular, to a Premire pedals like any other, no less, quite simple.

    UTILIZATION

    It is simple,

    gain, while also

    Ragit trs well with an amp lights, nothing wrong.

    SOUND QUALITY

    At first I thought to try a Tube Screamer when I had it in hand, CHARACTERISTICS are more or less the same for all TS is to say its a fairly bold (dpend gain) and a pretty hot sound. The BD2 n'chappe not this RULES!

    At first I thought to try a Tube Screamer when I had it in hand, CHARACTERISTICS are more or less the same for all TS is to say its a fairly bold (dpend gain) and a pretty hot sound. The BD2 n'chappe not this RULES!

    A Difference tipped me yet, I found the sound of the TS trs 'nose' that the less! Much warmer. So I opt for the l.
    And then for lovers of the screwdriver, "I dvisse I disassemble, I go back, I screwed back" it is true what is not even a TS components.

    I use a Marshall JCM800 2203 on a Marshall cabinet 1960BV a Fender Start HSS with Burstbucker the bridge. A little research can get closer to the sound of "Fast" Eddie Clarke.
    I use it in the rhythmic level 11h 2h gain and tone a little before noon.

    It gives me the sound I expected respecting the amp and guitar.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it since October 2008, I am delighted.

    It is true that the tone is quite rglage 'Determines' but not enough to .. a pendulum. And compared to Tubescreamer I tried it a potential that is not ngligeable.

    I do it again this choice, the purchase of the pedals has not changed my life but I am glad sincrement.

    Pedal overdrive / distortion

    3 knobs: 1 win, 1 tone, 1 level

    An input and an output jack

    UTILIZATION

    User level, you branch, you just turn the knobs and it sounds right away. Must pass after a little time to find his sound obviously, but we can learn a lot.

    SOUND QUALITY

    Sound Quality: for me this pedal is a bomb. At that price I think was simply amazing to have something much distortion level. And that it is versatile small: it may very well have a slight crunch to arpeggios, like a good overdrive for rock rhythm, or lead to a distortion solo crazy

    I play a gibson les paul studio, connected to either a peavey studio pro 122 at home or in a mesa boogie dual grinders repeats. I tried many other amps and this pedal suits everyone: there are ways to find his his condition has not finished being a moron and know a minimum turn knobs (they make me laugh those n 'nothing has come with the unit).
    In any case, within a mesa boogie + les paul, it gives a good way disto metallica live =) Square, accurate, but can be as rough and dirty, if desired.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for over a year and I am fully satisfied, before it I had a boss MT2 (but too much metal type, not versatile enough) and an MXR DoubleShot (good quality but I could not finding the right sound with)

    Excellent value for money

    I plan to buy the boss GT10 multi effects for greater effect (buy pedal pedal is very expensive) which I think is understood the blues driver. So we can say that this choice I will ever lol =)
    If you are looking for a good versatile overdrive distortion, go for it! At that price I did not think there are better.

    Boss BD-2 Blues DriverPublished on 02/22/09 at 12:05
    The Boss BD-2 Blues Driver is an overdrive guitar pedal. It is an analog pedal and has a 1/4 inch input and output. It takes a 9 volt battery or can be powered by the Boss TU-2 tuner pedal if you have the power supply and daisy chain. It is not a rackable unit and as it is a stomp box.

    UTILIZATION

    The general configuration and set of the BD-2 couldn't be easier. It has three knobs - one for level, one for tone, and one for gain. After a few minutes of playing around with this, you should be able to figure out what everything does exactly and get a quick good sound from it. It is easy to get a light, subtle overdrive or to get a nice thick tone. I don't have a manual for this, but l…

After a few minutes of playing around with this, you should be able to figure out what everything does exactly and get a quick good sound from it. It is easy to get a light, subtle overdrive or to get a nice thick tone. I don't have a manual for this, but like most Boss manuals, it is probably pretty thorough. This being said, the pedal is easy to figure out and most probably won't need a manual.

    SOUND QUALITY

    The Boss BD-2 has a really nice tone quality to it and is usable for other genres besides blues. I have only use this with guitar and I probably wouldn't recommend it for use with any other instrument, although it would work fine. I just think the specific tone this has it probably best with guitar. It is great for playing blues lead lines and also works great as an all around rhythm guitar overdrive.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've been using the Boss BD-2 for about four or five years. While I don't use it all the time, when I am looking for a specific type of overdrive, this can work like a charm. Boss has a reputation for make quality products, and this pedal definitley fits that bill. It would be hard to break and has a great overall tone quality. The price, like most Boss pedals like this one, is quite cheap and players on all budgets could probably afford one of they wanted it. If you play blues and are looking for an overdrive that isn't too heavy, I definitley recommend taking a look at this.
