Boss blues driver or super overdrive

A bluesy pedal with dual 3-way clipping switches which give it a wide variety of tones - also a sort of 3-band EQ but by a different name - Detail, Body and Treble Cut - each of which allow you to target a different range of frequencies.

For certain a Blues-Driver-esque pedal with the usual 3 control dials, plus an additional 'Diode Lift' toggle which gives you less compression and more headroom and volume. Sounds very Blue-Driver-like to me, and is certainly worthy of consideration. My original and once main 'Blues Driver' - this is still probably my favourite Mooer pedal - still sounds wonderful, and would recommend to all. It has been displaced by the JB-2 Angry Driver which gives me a little more versatility, but is lacking the 'fat mod' of this pedal - as 'borrowed' from the Keeley Modded Blues Driver - the Blues Mood in fact being a clone of that.

Man equivalent. I'm still interested in acquiring both this and the Prince of Tones at some stage - excellent value. These are all essentially wide-gain-ranging bluesy pedals, some with really clever voicing options. Some people don't like the slightly brittle nature of the original Blues Driver - in which case I recommend the Analog. Man modded version. Or if you like it smoother, then probably Bluesbreaker clones are preferable to you than Blues Drivers. I like both, and will have both.

If I had to have just one, I would stick with my Angry Driver - which is amazing, just waiting for a modded version of that to come through, I'm sure these super-smart engineers can do something even more clever with that!

Guitarists found that when they increased voltage gain and that would, you guessed it, overdrive the original broadcasted sound via amp.

Ibanez Tube Screamer. Boss BD-2 Blues Driver. The Boss BD-2 Blues Driver Pedal gives you the classic, bluesy sound of an overdriven vintage tube amp in a compact pedal. Both are classic overdrive effects pedals simple enough for any level of player to use, while giving performances strong enough for the greats as varied as Stevie Ray Vaughan and the Edge. Bottom Line: But if we have to choose, we would go with the Ibanez Tube Screamer here , purely for its slight edge of versatility.

The tubescreamer can have too many mids, I find. The blues driver is less middley. On the other hand the tubescreamer sounds slightly smoother in its distortion. The blues driver is a bit grittier. This article is extremely problematic. The pedals you review are properly classifued as overdrives, not distortion pedals.

The DM-2W also has a jack for connecting an optional expression pedal to control the delay rate, a cool modern feature that was not included in either of the original DM units. Kyryll July 19, pm.
