BOSS BD-2 Blues Driver [BOSS Sound Check]

➤ View the BD-2 Blues Driver Guitar Effects Pedal:
www.boss.info/...
The BD-2 Blues Driver is somewhat legendary, and one of the bestselling compact pedals ever made. Delivering that creamy, yet crunchy sound associated with generations of great blues guitar players and sounds, this popular pedal provides instant access to the kind of warm overdrive and emotive distortion usually reserved for 30-year-old tube amps.
Its expressive gain structure reacts organically to every nuance, from picking attack to dynamics. The BD-2 has a stiffer attack than an SD-1, and a brighter, more scooped sound. This strident drive sound, reminiscent of classic combos, slices through mixes with ease.
The BD-2 also has a surprising amount of gain on tap. From barely-there clean boost to near-fuzz territory and a whole lot in between, it’s all in there. Bring on those stinging, searing blues licks.

First pedal I ever bought (new), and it still amazes me! Really, it is so good and versatile. Love my BD-2

[@dogfries1426]

I love my BD - 2 ! Thank you BOSS.

[@davidwilkin1202]

I just got this for X Mas. Great pedal, fattens up my strat on my Orange TH30 just nice, very bluesy chunk to it, good mids, a must have.

[@Fury-cl3fn]

Bought this pedal a year ago. Pretty good sound

[@mmd176]

This pedal has a good sound, specially plugged into a clean tube amp!

[@CTuxford]

This pedal is very specific for the sound it gives. I love my Boss OD-3 as it is what the BD-2 wanted to be. The mids and bass on the BD-2 are too much for my taste, but that is the boost Blues guitarists are looking for. For want of a better idea, the BD-2 reminds me of an old Fender valve amp driven at a volume of 10. It's not my taste, but lots love it.

[@blues62751]

Just got one last week and love it !

[@GustavoMdeOliveira]

Boss, plz reupload these [BOSS Sound Check] videos in better quality! Thx

[@slystonefunkysoul110]

Came back to it after 16 years... I think i'll stay long

[@c.s.attila9578]

tomorrow I will get mine. Cant wait

[@DreidMusicalX2]

Well I have a bit of pedals and 5 of them are BOSS Pedals. I have the ML-2 Metal Core - ST-2 Power Stack - DS-1 Distortion - SD-1 Super Overdrive and the MT-2 Metal Zone. This I am guessing the Blues Driver is one I also need in the BOSS line up.

[@godzilla964]

I actually tried using this pedal with a crunchy sounding amp and actually got a good metal tone out of it.

[@efrazable]

post a vid?

[@godzilla964]

efrazable I was at a store when I did it.

[@DraftNutthana]

Ryan me too haha

[@Arieloren184]

This is a great pedal, I prefer to use it as a low gain crunch for my setup. Only con I find is at higher gain settings it's a bit fizzy sounding.

[@steffenbrix]

This pedal is one of the greatest pedals to mod. If you're Denmark. Come by and I'll get it to sound much smoother and less harsh :)

[@richardhunter9779]

It's awesome how you liked your own comment.

[@Joe-mz6dc]

lol

[@greatvanzini]

Hmm, now I'll have to go try my BD again to see if I can get it to "clean up." I have been disappointed as I thought that it was just bit to scratchy sounding. Everyone says individual pedals are better than Multi effects. I think it is a bit of a myth unless you buy the really high end pedals. MY experience tells me I can get better bluesy sounds from the ME 70 than the BD, even though it is similar. So,,, that said I guess I agree with a bit of everything said here. Well, except that it is the best. But will try again.

[@ElisandroDeLeon]

This channel is aweesome!

[@tmoss89]

Great pedal the new ones suck but the old ones around this time of video are great

[@nunoharris]

Hi. Is this pedal good for Beatles songs ? Thanks..

[@thediminish8517]

oh. wonderful sound. Can you send me this tab?

[@felixpew2757]

the video came out in 2008 of course is 240p

[@amosandrecantini3453]

I have seen all videos of boss channel in which you used this fantastic strato with rosewood fret board. Is that an American vintage reissue 62 or is she a MIJ ST-62? I’m waiting to know that since 2008.

[@andreascz5236]

Please, what amp is it recorded on?

[@tyler4girlz]

It’s Roland so I’m assuming they’re using a JC. Definitely sounds like it.

[@yy-rn9ki]

まじでブルースドライバーとep boosterあれば他は要らない。 あ、ブルースドライバーは2個並べたい。

[@kevsmith4032]

Good demo, thanks

[@BOSSinfoglobal]

You're welcome!

[@emirhancan5677]

Such a goldie video!

[@juliancrosby3791]

What micros and guitar do you have at 1:33?

[@elielkanabarus9248]

Love My BD 2

[@mr.popoballballl745]

2021 still jamming

[@AlanKaruzo]

actually this sounds very good.. I have boss ch1, boss dd7 and boss mt2... (and schecter gitar) I use these for solos like Marty Friedman (not foe trash) but i need one pedal for easy tone (some silent solo parts). Is this (bd2) pedal good for me, or boss od3. I like both pedals... but money for one. Help. Alan :)

[@savanaviolenta]

Which one to get SD1,BD2 or BC2?

[@antoniocopka3201]

Este pedal no le gusta como suena, pero en esta Review me encanta

[@JulioSanchez-oj5mu]

Pruébalo más! En verdad que es fantástico :)

[@tirtha2chester]

Bro you are terribly misinformed or have experienced or used a broken pedal... You know what, it's the TS and its clones are the ones accused of coloring the tone and giving the midrange hump and hence more used as a dirty amp booster... The BD 2 is one of the most transparent Overdrives out there apart from the timmy and cleans up really well when the guitar volume is rolled down unlike the TS... My advice to you is get your infos right before commenting and spreading nonsense..

[@archiviloria]

Where's the reference tone?

[@warlord0216]

whats the backing track on this one?

[@satshreeshrestha5975]

is this pedal good for boosting OD3 ??

[@GabrielSoares-xh4ej]

sd1 is better

[@emmanuelgavidiainfantas8148]

what song is the first? :o

[@ht180]

中野さんが弾いてんの？

[@VandarkVideo]

How goes it with Epiphone ES-339 pro?

[@Nachtopus]

I'd imagine pretty good. I've got a 339 too and I'm looking into buying one of these to pair with my Tube Screamer.

[@josephsmith8087]

+metalmusician6798 I've got a 339 in d drop c.... I mostly play grunge and hard rock with it

[@VandarkVideo]

joseph smith Thx

[@taiga8669]

三曲目の曲ってなんですか？

[@ahfint]

240p?

[@gkathmandu]

How much it costs?

[@michelbrito5023]

Saujanya Sthapit i think something betwen 1000 pesos and 1500 pesos... :D!

[@kevyrob13]

if its good enough for doug gillard from guided by voices its good enough for me

[@cabgt]

"Awful pedal" hence why it is one of best ever selling blues/overdrive pedals yeah?

[@jobckts682]

Should have gotten B Driver, 1st. ANY boost, b4 or after.

[@danielolivieri2686]

I guess it would fit to play Santana's songs !

[@philmoley4418]

is it really for blues sound?? I find it more metal sound yuk???

[@lockiebennett]

lol

[@joseph_koo]

i dunno why but the boss sound test videos makes the pedals sound bad... watch the reverb video for the pedal

[@okinawao]

これ1曲目なんて言うんですかね?

[@コーヒーの女]

lucky River BOSSから出てるDR880ってドラムマシンのプリセットパターンでアドリブ弾いてるだけですよ。元ネタのプロの曲はあるかもしれないですが

[@okinawao]

@@コーヒーの女 今更ですがありがとうございました(*^^*)

[@theponyskairepon]

このデモ演奏見ると、ブルースドライバーって、 ブルースロックドライバーなんだなってわかる　笑
