Landmark Amp-Style Circuit

From the beginning, the BD-2 was conceived by BOSS engineers to reproduce the interactive gain and compression properties of a tube amplifier. To meet this goal, they developed a unique multi-stage clipping circuit inspired by actual amps. This innovative design delivers a very organic playing experience, with drive character and harmonic content that changes with your picking attack and sound that smoothly cleans up as you roll back the volume.

Clean to Mean

Don’t be boxed in by the name—the versatile sound of the Blues Driver circuit flows with any guitar style. Lower gain settings produce a mild breakup that’s ideal for defined chord work, arpeggio playing, and adding body to lead lines. The tone gets fatter and more saturated as you crank the gain, mimicking the behavior of a vintage tube amp. The BD-2’s transparent voice also excels as a full-range boost for pushing downstream drive pedals and high-gain amps into fierce distortion while maintaining definition and clarity.

Unmatched Dynamic Expression

The BD-2 is renowned for its sensitivity and expressive range, and many players use it as an “always-on“ pedal to shape their core sound. A soft touch is rewarded with a rich harmonic bloom around the notes, while a hard attack delivers sharp-yet-smooth tones that cut through the band. With your just playing touch and volume knob adjustments, there’s a universe of drive colors ready to explore.
