But it also does a great "full on" distortion which is rich yet clear with all the notes of the chord clearly ringing through. If you are looking for a distortion which remains unmuddied at high gain – look no further than the BD2.
As you probably know, Boss pedals have a reputation for being built like brick outhouses! You can be pretty sure that however much you drop it, kick it, throw it and jump on it, it will still come back for more punishment!

Reliability really can be affordable to all, and Boss are so sure that their compact stomps will last that they cover them with a full five year warranty.

Blues
A blues pedal typically refers to pedals designed to help musicians achieve the warm, soulful tones associated with blues music. These pedals are often used to enhance overdrive, create smooth distortion, or add depth to solos, mimicking the tones of legendary blues guitarists. Common blues effects include overdrive, reverb, and delay, each adding its own character to the sound, from a gritty, saturated warmth to atmospheric, spacious echoes.
Blues pedals are popular for their ability to create expressive, dynamic tones that are perfect for the emotional and often improvisational nature of blues music. Many blues players favour pedals that enhance the natural sound of their instrument while providing subtle but effective tone-shaping capabilities, such as a slight overdrive for that smooth, saturated sound or a boost for solos. Brands like Fulltone, Electro-Harmonix, and Boss offer a wide range of pedals tailored to the needs of blues musicians.

Overdrive
Overdrive is a popular guitar effect that creates a warm, distorted sound by amplifying the signal of an electric guitar, typically using a pedal or an amp’s built-in circuit. The effect simulates the natural distortion that occurs when a tube amplifier is pushed to its limit, creating a rich, harmonic response that adds sustain, warmth, and character to the tone. Overdrive pedals are commonly used to add grit and growl to a clean tone without the harshness of full distortion.
The overdrive effect works by boosting the input signal, causing the amplifier to break up and clip the waveform, resulting in a smooth, musical distortion. This is often more subtle and less aggressive than other forms of distortion, making overdrive pedals ideal for blues, classic rock, and country players who seek a dynamic sound that responds to their playing touch. Overdrive pedals can be used in conjunction with other effects like delay and reverb to shape a more complex, evolving sound. Popular overdrive pedals include the Ibanez Tube Screamer, the Fulltone OCD, and the Boss OD-3, each offering different tonal characteristics, from smooth and bluesy to punchy and aggressive.
Pedal
A pedal is an electronic device that alters the sound of an electric guitar by applying various effects. Pedals are typically connected in a series between the guitar and amplifier, allowing guitarists to switch effects on and off with their feet while playing.
This enables musicians to quickly and easily change their sound, adding versatility and creativity to their performances.
Pedals are essential tools in many musical genres, including rock, blues, jazz, and metal, allowing artists to craft distinctive and dynamic soundscapes.
Once you buy one, you can’t stop and then you have to sell them and buy more.
