Boss BD-2w Blues Driver

Amazing OverDrive, Waza Craft teatment

Such a fantastic overdrive pedal for crunchy blues which deliver Boss legendary sound in a robust and very nice Waza Craft premium version! A must have!

Great

Very flat frequency response but with bass roll off. Nice gritty sound, slightly boxy in custom mode but in a good way. High quality feels.

From boost to gain

This is one of the few great pedals. It is versatile and can add anything from a slight sparkly boost right upto a heavy gain sound. I do not consider this a Blues effect pedal because it’s nothing like eg. a pushed Fender amp and it sounds like an effect. But you’ll never want it off your board.

Great sounding pedal.

I'm the owner of an old Blues Driver. My favourite Overdrive together with the TS9. This new Waza Craft version is sounding a little bit fuller. Maybe a little bit more present. Recommended.

Mellow sound with extreme volume

This is the loudest pedal in all the Waza Craft Line. I use it to push other pedals and to get Fuzz or very thick distortion from Metal Zone. Pretty awesome pedal. It's so loud they I can use it as a pre-amp and go str8 to the power amp.

The classic — phattened up

The BD2 is a classic for guitar players, and for good reason. The 2 cascading op-amps provide a cornucopia of tones from light overdrive to heavy distortion and it's therefore at home in any player's pedalboard.

The Waza Craft version adds the so-called 'Keeley Phat Mod' which combats the pedal's major weakness: at higher gain levels, the original BD2 lacks some bottom end. You can switch between the original sounds and the phat mod as you please — it's the BD2 but more.

Pros:

- All the classic BD2 tones...

- ...And built in 'Keeley Phat Mod'...

- ...In the classic blue housing!

- Built like a Boss pedal — nothing can destroy this pedal!

Cons:

- Boutique price

The best transistor-based drive on the market

I said what I said.

Great Transparent OD

Be careful what you want from an OD as the Blues Driver may not be it. If you want a full spectrum transparent OD you really can't beat this pedal. If you want low end roll off and mid-pushed EQ then go for a Tubescreamer for example. There is a reason this is Boss's top selling pedal ever (I think).

Who are you?

I think that there are two possibilities:

1) you'll love it

2) you'll hate it

I'm a huge fan of ibanez tube screamer and this pedal simply can't withstand the match imho.

I use it just to add a little bit of gain after my ts but i'm not really satisfied with the.

The pedal itself has no problems it's just a matter of taste. Try it!

Cheers

Super product!

Great sound, super pedal! Definitely recommend for crunchy blues!
